The answer to this question: Which quotation correctly uses ellipsis to shorten Anthony´s words, is, B: "And when... people enter into a free government, they do not barter away their natural rights; they simply pledge themselves to protect each other in the enjoyment of them, through prescribed judicial and legislative tribunals."

Explanation:

The purpose of ellipsis, is to allow a person to quote information from a source, but in a way, summarize the main points of the quote, especially when it is particularly long, and there is information that is not necessary from the quote. The important part is for the person who uses this technique to select the information that, if removed from the quote, would not damage the understanding of the idea the original writer wanted to convey, or would distort the correct meaning of the quote, just to make it suit the one who has borrowed the quote. In this case, in summarizing the ideas from Susan B. Anthony´s speech, and putting into a quote, the only portion of information that is not needed to understand the main idea set by Anthony, is the number of people. This is why, removing that data from the quote does not alter the main purpose, or idea, of the text used as a quote.
