Answer 1

A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Susan B. Anthony was one of the significant woman who played a vital role in the movement for women's right to vote and the suffrage movement.

After she was arrested for voting in the presidential elections, Susan B. Anthony was put on trial. In her trial, she delivers her famous speech. In her speech she called her own counsel and prosecutors as 'political sovereigns.'

By calling them political sovereigns, she is pointing out that they are granted privilege that she is denied. She was denied to present her case before the court.

Therefore, option A is correct.
