Question

Which two phrases, one from each excerpt, highlight the different purposes of these two excerpts?

Passage 1
excerpt from A Declaration of Sentiments
In 1848, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott, two veterans of the abolitionist movement, called the first U.S. convention in se
rights, in Seneca Falls, New York. The result was A Declaration of Sentiments, a document modeled closely on the Declaration of P
We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with cem
rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights governments are instituted, derivin
from the consent of the governed. Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of those who
refuse allegiance to it, and to insist upon the institution of a new government. The history of mankind is a history of repeated inju

He has never permitted her to exercise her inalienable right to the elective franchise.
He has compelled her to submit to laws, in the formation of which she had no voice.
He has taken from her all right in property, even to the wages she earns.
Now, in view of this entire disfranchisement of one-half the people of this country, their social and religious degradation-in view of the c

Passage 2

Which two phrases, one from each excerpt, highlight the different purposes of these two excerpts?

Answer 1

The phrase 'all men and women are created equal' spotlights the Declaration of Sentiments' goal of equality, whereas 'having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over her' elucidates its agenda to detail the oppression of women and push for reform.

Step-by-step explanation:

The different purposes of the two excerpts from the Declaration of Sentiments can be highlighted by focusing on a phrase from each passage that encapsulates the core message of the document. From Passage 1, the phrase "all men and women are created equal" from the Declaration of Sentiments emphasizes the push for equality and the challenge to the existing social norms that discriminated against women. It reflects the central demand for recognizing women's equality with men in all aspects of life. Contrastingly, the second phrase, "having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over her," illustrates the purpose of calling out the instances of oppression and tyranny that women faced at the time and the need to articulate the specific grievances that necessitated a change in their status.
