National and state constitutions included little mention of women. Even though Hoosier women were enumerated in the census which paved the way for statehood and had to share the burden of taxation, they were not allowed to vote or hold office. Rights for which a revolution was fomented were denied women – as they were to slaves, "lunatics," and "idiots."
Further exacerbating the situation, rights normally enjoyed by women were often withdrawn when she married. Indeed, a woman gave up so many civil and property rights upon crossing the threshold that she was said to be entering a state of "civil death." This unhappy circumstance arose partially because American (and Indiana) law was based upon English common law. Predicated on "precedent and fixed principles," common law had dictated a subordinate position for women. Married women generally were not allowed to make contracts, devise wills, take part in other legal transactions, or control any wages they might earn. One of the few legal advantages of marriage for a woman was that her husband was obligated to support her and be responsible for her debts. It is highly doubtful that these latter provisions outweighed the lack of other rights, particularly in the area women faced the most severe restriction, property rights.
Answer:
Character
Explanation:
Authors will describe characters explicitly either by observation of another character or via a narrator. The purpose of this is to allow the reader to get to know the character intimately in order to use any behaviour that they display later as understandable based on how they were described when they were introduced.
Building the characters also allows the writer to engage the reader's emotions by giving the character likable, unlikable or relatable traits. These are often full of descriptive words and very intimate details about the Character that sometimes only they themselves will know.
