Question 24 • SSHS IUS002 US History II

Why does Anthony read the preamble to the Constitution in her speech "Woman's Rights to the Suffrage"?

Answer
A
to emphasize that the United States was founded to secure the rights of everyone
B
to highlight that each individual state should get to decide who is allowed to vote
C
to illustrate why she does not believe in the founding documents of the United States
D
to demonstrate that both women and men were involved in writing the United States' founding documents

Explanation

Anthony reads the preamble to point out that the Constitution begins with “We the People” and promises to secure liberty and justice. She argues that women are part of the people, so the nation’s founding purpose should include protecting their rights, including the right to vote. The preamble is not being used to argue that states should decide voting rights or that she rejects the founding documents.
