5. Paraphrase The Declaration of Independence begins: "We hold these

truths to be self evident that all men are created equal.” At the Seneca Falls
Convention, Stanton modeled her Declaration of Sentiments on the
Declaration of Independence to read: “We hold these truths to be
self-evident that all men and women are created equal." In your own words,
what do you think the meaning of the original statement is? Why did Stanton
add "and women" to the original statement?
