in \speech after being convicted of voting,\ why does susan b. anthony include excerpts from the declaration of independence and the constitution to support her argument?
a. both documents are well respected, so using them as evidence helps to establish her credibility.
b. women are not allowed to read those documents, so she is showing rebellion against the government.
c. she wants to use the important words within the documents to inspire more emotion from her audience.
d. she feels that those documents are examples of the way the government oppresses women.

Explanation:

Susan B. Anthony uses respected documents (Declaration of Independence and Constitution) to back her argument. Respected sources enhance credibility. Option B is incorrect as there's no indication women couldn't read them. Option C - while documents have important words, main aim is credibility. Option D - she uses them to show rights (not oppression).

Answer:

A. Both documents are well respected, so using them as evidence helps to establish her credibility.
