Question

read this quote. note that \her\ refers to all american women, and \he\ refers to men. look carefully at all of the underlined words. based on the context of this quote, what does \elective franchise\ mean? right to vote complete based on this meaning, what is stanton arguing in favor of here? women should be made us citizens. women should have the right to vote. women should be legislators. done

Explanation:

The quote mentions that women were deprived of the "elective franchise" which led to "without representation". Representation in a democratic context often comes through voting. The options are analyzed: women were already citizens (1848 when Declaration of Sentiments was written, women were citizens in the sense of being born in the US or naturalized), the quote is about a right (not about being legislators directly). Since "elective franchise" is equated to "right to vote" (as per the first part of the question), Stanton's argument is about women having that right.

Answer:

Women should have the right to vote.
