The answer to whether Susan B. Anthony proved her point that though she voted in a presidential election during a period when American women were not allowed to vote, she "not only committed no crime but instead, simply exercised [her] citizen's rights" is:
- Yes and this is because the pieces of evidence she used to support her point were from credible sources.
To prove her point, Susan quoted directly from the constitution which was to serve as a framework for American laws and other credible sources.
She stated that all men are naturally born with rights and that governments were instituted to protect those rights. She stated several points to serve her points as follows:
1. Declaration of Independence- Government derives their just powers from the consent of the governed. Women were among the governed so their consent obtained from voting was needed.
2. The Federal Constitution- "We, the people...ordain and establish the constitution of the United States of America". The women were included in the pronoun, we.
She also quoted other credible individuals and sources like James Madison, Senator Charles Sumner, Thaddeus Stevens, and the Fourteenth Amendment to support the notion that women were not excluded from the rights that were due to all citizens.
