Here is no shadow of government authority over rights, nor exclusion of any from their full and equal enjoyment. here is pronounced the right of all men, and "consequently," as the quaker preacher said, "of all women," to a voice in the government. and here, in this very first paragraph of the declaration, is the assertion of the natural right of all to the ballot; for, how can "the consent of the governed" be given, if the right to vote be denied. again: "that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute a new government, laying its foundations on such principles, and organizing its powers in such forms as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness." surely, the right of the whole people to vote is here clearly implied. for however destructive in their happiness this government might become, a disfranchised class could neither alter nor abolish it, nor institute a new one, except by the old brute force method of insurrection and rebellion. one-half of the people of this nation to-day are utterly powerless to blot from the statute books an unjust law, or to write there a new and a just one. what arguments does susan b. anthony make in this excerpt from her speech? a: she argues that since women pay taxes they should be allowed to vote like other citizens. b: she argues that a government that does not include all citizens cannot be valid. c: she argues that since african american men have received the right to vote, women too are entitled to vote. d: she argues that the founding documents of the united states define a right to vote specifically for women. e: she argues that a government can only exist through the participation of all citizens.
