Respuesta :

Answer:

According to Stanton, woman had no authority at all. When a woman married she lost all control to the man.

CITATION: “He has withheld from her rights which are given to the most ignorant and degraded men- both natives and foreigners” (Stanton 165).

Elizabeth Cady Stanton drafted the Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions that was read at the Seneca Falls convention in 1848. In that Declaration, Stanton read out several injustices that had been endured by women  some of them include;

  • He has never permitted her to exercise her inalienable right to the elective franchise.
  • He has compelled her to submit to laws, in the formation of which she had no voice.
  • He has withheld from her rights which are given to the most ignorant and degraded men—both natives and foreigners

These and many more points were listed by Elizabeth Cady Stanton to stress man's injustice to women. Women were disenfranchised.

Their voices were not heard when the law was drafted. When married women had no voice but were rather confined to their homes.

Stanton did not believe that these treatments were right. She and other feminists sought the correction of these injustices.
