Which of the following options correctly restates the meaning of this excerpt from Anthony's "On Woman's Right to the Suffrage"? 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. A. It was not the people, just the men, who formed this nation. And they did so to secure liberty, not give it to just anyone, and not to have to share it, leaving them with just half of it, and certainly not to give it to everyone -- women and men. B. It was the people, not just the men, who formed this nation. And we did so to secure liberty, not give it to some, and not to give it to just half of us, but to everyone -- women and men. C. This nation was born in liberty, and we can't afford to give it to some, so let's give it to just half of us, instead of to everyone -- women and men. D. It was the people, by which we mean just the men, who formed this nation. And men did so to secure liberty, not give it to women, so let's keep things the way they are -- women and men.
