Read this excerpt from Susan B. Anthony's "Is it a Crime for a Citizen of the United States to Vote? " and complete the sentence

s that follow.
But is urged, the use of the masculine pronouns he, his and him, in all the constitutions and laws, is proof that only men were meant to be included in their provisions. If you insist on this version of the letter of the law, we shall insist that you be consistent, and accept the other horn of the dilemma, which would compel you to exempt women from taxation for the support of the government, and from penalties for the violation of laws. . . .

So long as any classes of men were denied their right to vote, the government made a show of consistency, by exempting them from taxation. When a property qualification of $250 was required of black men in New York, they were not compelled to pay taxes, so long as they were content to report themselves worth less than that sum; but the moment the black man died, and his property fell to his widow or daughter, the black woman's name would be put on the assessor's list, and she be compelled to pay taxes on the same property exempted to her husband. The same is true of ministers in New York. So long as the minister lives, he is exempted from taxation on $1,500 of property, but the moment the breath goes out of his body, his widow's name will go down on the assessor's list, and she will have to pay taxes on the $1,500.

Susan B. Anthony offers two strong justifications for granting women the right to vote. She refutes the anti-suffragist claim that women should not be allowed to vote since all laws were written by men for men. Instead, she makes the case that since women are required to pay all taxes even if they are not mentioned in tax laws, all women should be given the right to vote.

70 points What does mrs Bennett think of mr fitzwilliam Darcy
Readme [11.4K]

Answer: This quote shows how Darcy made a bad impression when he first met the Bennet sisters. At the same time, it also shows how quickly individuals can make snap judgments. A single occasion does not fully shed light on Darcy’s character, and yet after a single ball everyone rushes to judge him. They also misinterpret his shy and introverted behavior as evidence that he is stuck up and unfriendly. Even though Darcy has a great deal of wealth and social status, his personality still leads to him being widely disliked.
