1. read the passage. then answer the question. declaration of sentiments the declaration of sentiments, inspired by the declaration of independence, was an outcome of the seneca falls convention, a women’s rights convention held in 1848. this document lists rights that american women should be entitled to, including the right to vote. 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. what is the purpose of “the declaration of sentiments”? what viewpoint does it convey about women’s rights? how does the structure to convey the purpose and viewpoint? in your response, provide examples of the authors’ use of rhetoric and explain how it to advance the purpose and viewpoint of the text. your response should be at least three complete paragraphs.
