PLZ HELP!! To renounce one’s liberty is to renounce one’s quality as a man, the rights and also the duties of humanity. For him

who renounces everything there is no possible compensation. Such a renunciation is incompatible with man’s nature, for to take away all freedom from his will is to take away all morality from his actions. In short, a convention which stipulates absolute authority on the one side and unlimited obedience on the other is vain and contradictory. Is it not clear that we are under no obligations whatsoever towards a man from whom we have a right to demand everything? And does not this single condition, without equivalent, without exchange, involve the nullity of the act? For what right would my slave have against me, since all that he has belongs to me? His rights being mine, this right of me against myself is a meaningless phrase.”
Jean-Jacques Rousseau, “The Social Contract,” 1762

Ugo [173]

Answer: the AWSA and the NWSA fought for women’s rights.

Explanation:

The Seneca Convention of 1848 was the first women's convention in the United States and was the bedrock for the Women Suffrage movement in the United States.

Even though the American Woman Suffrage Association (AWSA) and the National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA) were formed in 1869, the Seneca Convention which was more than 20 years earlier was the match that lit the fire for the suffrage movement that the AWSA and the NWSA became part of.
