Which sentence in this excerpt from Susan B. Anthony’s “On Women’s Right to Vote” reveals the purpose of the speech? Friends and

fellow citizens: I stand before you tonight under indictment for the alleged crime of having voted at the last presidential election, without having a lawful right to vote. It shall be my work this evening to prove to you that in thus voting, I not only committed no crime, but, instead, simply exercised my citizen's rights, guaranteed to me and all United States citizens by the National Constitution, beyond the power of any state to deny.
The preamble of the Federal Constitution says:

"We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

It was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens; nor yet we, the male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed the Union. And we formed it, not to give the blessings of liberty, but to secure them; not to the half of ourselves and the half of our posterity, but to the whole people - women as well as men. And it is a downright mockery to talk to women of their enjoyment of the blessings of liberty while they are denied the use of the only means of securing them provided by this democratic-republican government - the ballot.

Which detail from 'Heart of darkness' shows the ineffectiveness of the colonizers
allsm [11]

Answer:

D: a warship fires at the land, even though there is nothing there to shoot.

Explanation:

"Heart of Darkness" (1899) is Joseph Conrad's masterpiece novel. The major themes of the novel are imperialism, colonialism, and racism.

There are many examples of colonials ineffectiveness throughout the novel. The selected option is just one instance. Another famous one is in the leveling of the cliff for no apparent purpose. The narrator satirizes that may be it was just for philanthropic purpose of keeping the slaves busy. A pointless attempt to extinguish a burning grass hut is one more such example to show colonials inefficiency in Africa.
