The Declaration of Sentiments, modeled on the Declaration of Independence, was issued by a women’s rights convention in 1848. Th

is document lists women’s grievances against men, emphasizing their lack of the elective franchise (voting rights).
The history of mankind is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations on the part of man toward woman, having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over her. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has never permitted her to exercise her inalienable right to the elective franchise.

He has compelled her to submit to laws, in the formation of which she had no voice.

He has withheld from her rights which are given to the most ignorant and degraded men—both natives and foreigners.

Having deprived her of this first right of a citizen, the elective franchise, thereby leaving her without representation in the halls of legislation, he has oppressed her on all sides.

He has made her, if married, in the eye of the law, civilly dead.

He has taken from her all right in property, even to the wages she earns…

In the covenant of marriage, she is compelled to promise obedience to her husband, he becoming, to all intents and purposes, her master—the law giving him power to deprive her of her liberty, and to administer chastisement…

He has monopolized nearly all the profitable employments, and from those she is permitted to follow, she receives but a scanty remuneration.

He closes against her all the avenues to wealth and distinction, which he considers most honorable to himself. As a teacher of theology, medicine, or law, she is not known.

He has denied her the facilities for obtaining a thorough education—all colleges being closed against her…

He has endeavored, in every way that he could to destroy her confidence in her own powers, to lessen her self-respect, and to make her willing to lead a dependent and abject life.

Now, in view of this entire disfranchisement of one-half the people of this country, their social and religious degradation,—in view of the unjust laws above mentioned, and because women do feel themselves aggrieved, oppressed, and fraudulently deprived of their most sacred rights, we insist that they have immediate admission to all the rights and privileges which belong to them as citizens of these United States.



Which quotation from the text best supports the inference that the ideas presented in the declaration are not typically discussed openly?

"To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world."

"The history of mankind is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations on the part of man toward woman, having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over her."

"He has made her, if married, in the eye of the law, civilly dead."

"He has withheld from her rights which are given to the most ignorant and degraded men—both natives and foreigners."

Answer:

"To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world."

Explanation:

The word "candid" means open, sincere or honest. It also refers to someone who is frank and outspoken. In this case, the author tells us that she will submit her facts to a world which cannot longer hide them. These facts, because they are normally hidden and not discussed, will force the world to be "candid" and to actually look at the facts in an unbiased way and discuss their merits.

Which best describes how the bolded pronoun functions in the following sentence?
kodGreya [7K]
In the previous example, it is functioning as an antecedent. We know this because the <span>reflexive pronouns end in -self or selves. The relative pronouns are who, whom, whose, which, that. The demonstrative pronouns are this,that,these,those,none,either. But </span><span>antecedent is word for which a pronoun stands. And that is the case of this sentence. Hope this works for you</span>
