Answer 1

Anthony quoted the Declaration of Independence in her speech because it was used as evidence to support her claim that women should be allowed to vote.

Suzan B.  Anthony was a leader of the  Women's Suffrage movement in the United States. In 1872, she was arrested in Rochester, New York, for violating a state law that only allowed men to vote. After trial, she was fined $100 but she did not like to pay.

During his famous speech on Women's Right to vote, Anthony quoted the preamble of the United States Constitution, "We the People of the United States..." to clearly indicate that the Constitution referred to "We, the people, not "We, the white men of the US."
