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.

Answer:

Can be read in one sitting
Has one plot
Deals with a single problem.

Explanation:

A short story is a narrative piece that presents ideas and themes in a lesser length. Since it has a shorter scope it must present one plot, deal with a single problem, avoid overcomplicating things, and should explore a precise theme through specific narrative devices. A short story rarely develops both main and minor characters, merely because of its length.

Novels, on the other hand, can develop both main and minor characters, and focus on multiple issues throughout the story.

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

They have sworn by a great oath, Lord, to slay thee, ere this year be done. Even now they march towards thee as the north wind of winter for bitterness and haste." At those words Vortigern's face grew white as ashes. Rising in confusion and disorder, he sent for all the best craftsmen and mechanics, and commanded them to go and build him in the furthest of his lands a great and strong castle where he might fly for refuge—"and, moreover," cried he, "let the work be done within a hundred days from now, or I will surely spare no life amongst you all."
