“After Being Convicted Of Voting In The 1872 Presidential Election:” Which of the following best explains this excerpt from the

speech? “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. …” Question 19 options: a) The speaker is not sure whether the country is a democracy or a republic. b) The speaker believes that the Union was formed to give all people, including women, liberty and freedom. c) The speaker finds white male citizens laughable. d) The speaker believes that the current government should be replaced with a new form of government.

B

The author is saying that the union was formed not only for men but also for women.

" 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"

This quote also kinda gives away what the authors point of view is.
