Based on the excerpt, Emmeline Pankhurst is discussing how it is essential for women to gain the right to vote in order to improve their lives. Pankhurst makes the argument that legislation (aka laws) are what help to improve society. Since women could not vote as of this time, they had no ability to affect what laws were passed in society. This is why Pankhurst says that women should have the right to vote. If they truly want to change the world around them they must be able express their views and opinions.

<em>Through zone laws, cities can restrict the type of business that can exist in certain areas. </em>

Zone law is the urban regulation that government authorities establish in order to limit the use of property in some geographic areas of the city. Let’s set an example. The city can have zone laws for residency purposes, for business purposes or industrial purposes. With zone laws, a fabric that pollutes through heavy sound cannot be established in a residential zone, or a large office building cannot be established in a residential zone because it can disturb the tranquility of the people.
