Question 3 • English 9 CR SUSD (EX)

Based on "A History of Voting Rights,” what prompted Elizabeth Cady Stanton to help organize the first women’s rights convention in Seneca Falls?

Answer
A
She was trying to promote the passage of the Fifteenth Amendment.
B
She was inspired to stand up for her rights after she was shut out of an event in London.
C
She was inspired by other activists’ speeches at an event in New York.
D
She was attempting to prove to her father that she was capable of studying law.

Explanation

Elizabeth Cady Stanton was excluded from the 1840 World Anti-Slavery Convention in London because she was a woman. That experience helped inspire her to organize a convention focused on women’s rights, which took place in Seneca Falls in 1848. So the correct choice is that she was inspired to stand up for her rights after being shut out of an event in London.
