Justice Bradley of the U. S. Supreme Court wrote this comment. It appears in the case summary for Bradwell v. Illinois, 1872.

"It is true that many women are unmarried and not affected by any of the duties, complications, and incapacities arising out of the married state, but these are exceptions to the general rule. The paramount destiny and mission of woman are to fulfill the noble and benign offices of wife and mother. This is the law of the Creator. And the rules of civil society must be adapted to the general constitution of things, and cannot be based upon exceptional cases."

Does Justice Bradley believe the laws support women having political rights? How do you know?
