The Declaration of Sentiments and the Declaration of Independence shared a lot of similarities. The Declaration of Sentiments was written primarily by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and this document outlined her ideas about feminism and gender equality.
The document is structured in the same way as the Declaration of Independence. This most likely served two purposes. First, this gave credibility to the argument, as it highlighted the origin of these ideas and the reason why feminists believed they were entitled to equal rights. The second reason is that this allowed the feminists to associate their liberation movement with that of the movement for independence.
The Declaration of Sentiments parallels the Declaration of Independence by stating its purpose, declaring the actions that will be taken, outlining the natural rights of all humans and listing the grievances of both groups.
the statement that takes a position on an issue or controversy
The claim is the main idea of the text. It is what the argumentative text is trying to prove. The claim takes a position on an issue. An example of a claim would be "Students should be given a study hall period during the school day, even if it means reducing the regular class times." This statement takes a position on the topic of study halls in schools. The rest of the options are all other elements of an argumentative text, but they do not describe the claim.
