Read the excerpt from "Woman's Rights to the Suffrage."

Friends and Fellow Citizens: I stand before you tonight [having been accused of] the alleged crime of having voted at the last presidential election, without having a lawful right to vote. It shall be my work this evening to prove to you that in thus voting, I not only committed no crime, but, instead, simply exercised my citizen's rights, guaranteed to me and all United States citizens by the National Constitution, beyond the power of any State to deny.

A. Anthony was a brave and determined person.

Explanation: By breaking the law and voting regardless of the current historical conventions, Anthony proved her bravery and determination in her fight for women's suffrage. Option B is incorrect; Anthony fully knew the laws and that is why she broke them. Option C could be argued, but it's not the main purpose of this passage. Option D cannot be proved by this passage either, so it's not the answer. This only leaves Option A.
