Question

Read this excerpt from Susan B. Anthony's "Is It a Crime for a Citizen of the United States to Vote?" and arrange the arguments the author presents

in the correct order.
Our democratic-republican government is based on the idea of the natural right of every individual member thereof to a voice and a vote in
making and executing the laws. We assert the province of government to be to secure the people in the enjoyment of their unalienable rights. We
throw to the winds the old dogma that governments can give rights. Before governments were organized, no one denies that each individual
possessed the right to protect his own life, liberty and property. And when 100 or 1,000,000 people enter into a free government, they do not
barter away their natural rights; they simply pledge themselves to protect each other in the enjoyment of them, through prescribed judicial and
legislative tribunals. They agree to abandon the methods of brute force in the adjustment of their differences, and adopt those of civilization.
"All men are created equal, and endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights. Among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness. That to secure these, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."
Here is no shadow of government authority over rights, nor exclusion of any from their full and equal enjoyment. Here is pronounced the right of
all men, and "consequently," as the Quaker preacher said, "of all women," to a voice in the government. And here, in this very first paragraph of
the declaration, is the assertion of the natural right of all to the ballot; for, how can the consent of the governed be given, if the right to vote be
denied.
Governments are set up to protect
rights.
Women cannot express their consent to
be governed if they cannot vote.
Governments do not have the power to
give rights.
People are born with rights.
Governments derive their power from
people's will.
All citizens have a right to participate in
government.

Answer 1

Here's the correct order of the arguments presented in Susan B. Anthony's "Is It a Crime for a Citizen of the United States to Vote?":

1. People are born with rights.

2. Governments are set up to protect rights.

3. Governments do not have the power to give rights.

4. Governments derive their power from people's will.

5. All citizens have a right to participate in government.

6. Women cannot express their consent to be governed if they cannot vote.

In the first paragraph, Susan B. Anthony argues that our government is based on the idea that every individual has the natural right to a voice and a vote in making and executing laws. She then claims that governments exist to secure people's unalienable rights, rather than to grant them rights. In the following paragraph, she cites the Declaration of Independence, which asserts that all men are created equal and endowed with certain unalienable rights, and that governments are instituted among men to secure these rights. Anthony argues that this includes the right to vote, since the consent of the governed cannot be given if the right to vote is denied. Finally, she concludes that women, as well as men, have a natural right to the ballot and should not be denied it.
