She infers the most important one. It is a cruel injustice to deny women the right to vote. She says it is an oligarchy based on gender which translated means that women and enslaved by the men in her household. She is not respected as mother. She is not respected as sister or as wife as long as she is not equal to men.

She makes 2 references to the Federal Constitution held to be so important to all Americans.

The first is that the constitution begins with "We the People." Who is we? How is 'we' defined? Does it mean everyone or does it mean just males. History would say most of the time it means just males.

The second reference is a good deal more complex and uses legal jargon. It is an  ex post facto  law. This is a law that makes it a crime for acting in a legal way. She also uses the term attainder in the same sentence which is the abolishment of a citizen's  civil rights after committing a felony. What she means is that any state that passes a law that prohibits half the population from voting is committing an attainder or a ex post facto law, which the constitution expressly forbids.

I think one of the things worth noting is that she committed the felony in the 1872 election (voting illegally), and women did not receive the vote until 1920. That's nearly 48 years between her act and what she was aiming to accomplish. She did not live to see her life's work come to fruition.

Which states the rhetorical appeal that the passage
sesenic [268]

The correct answer is A. The passage appeals to logos.

Explanation:

The appeal to logos focuses on supporting the author's point of view by using reasoning. This occurs in the excerpt presented because the author of this text uses reasoning or logical arguments to explain how the Declaration of independence includes all men no matter their race, religion, etc. This can be seen in "It does not say some men, but it  says all men" that explain the author's main point, as well as,  logical reasons such as "does not say all Protestants, but it says all men, which  includes Catholics" because this argument is a conclusion that can be drawn using logic. This means the author relies on logic and reason, which makes this passage to use the appeal to logos.
