Read below a counterclaim to Susan B. Anthony's claim in "On Women's Right to Vote" and an excerpt from her speech. Counterclaim: Women benefit from democracy just as men do. Excerpt: And it is a downright mockery to talk to women of their enjoyment of the blessings of liberty while they are denied the use of the only means of securing them provided by this democratic-republican government—the ballot. In the excerpt, what is Anthony's rebuttal to the counterclaim?

Hello. You forgot to enter the answer options. The options are:

A) Not all men enjoy freedom even in this democratic country.

B) Liberty in a democratic government is an important value.

C) Women cannot enjoy the country’s freedom without the right to vote.

D) The right to vote is one of the blessings of liberty in a democratic country.

C) Women cannot enjoy the country’s freedom without the right to vote.

Explanation:

Anthony contra argues the idea that women have freedom within democracy, claiming that what guarantees a citizen's freedom and rights is the vote. If the vote is denied to women, it means that they have no freedom whatsoever and that their rights will not be guaranteed, since the vote is the security of citizens and the guarantee that the State will work in their favor. Without this guarantee, women are captive, limited and without rights.
