Which two sentences suggest that John Adams is unlikely to grant Abigail Adams’s request to “remember the Ladies”?
Passage 2
adapted excerpt from Letter from John Adams to Abigail Adams, 14 April 1776
As to Declarations of Independency, be patient. Read our Privateering Laws, and our Commercial Laws. What signifies a Word.
As to your extraordinary Code of Laws, I cannot but laugh. We have been told that our Struggle has loosened the bands of Government everywhere. That Children and Apprentices were disobedient—that schools and Colleges were grown turbulent—But your Letter was the first Intimation that another Tribe more numerous and powerful than all the rest were grown discontented. This is rather too coarse a Compliment but you are so saucy, I won't blot it out.
Depend on it, We know better than to repeal our Masculine systems. Although they are in full Force, you know they are little more than Theory. We dare not exert our Power in its full Latitude. We are obliged to go fair, and softly, and in Practice you know We are the subjects . . . I begin to think the Ministry as deep as they are wicked. After stirring up [others] at last they have stimulated thee to demand new Privileges and threaten to rebel.
The two sentences that suggest John Adams is unlikely to grant Abigail Adams's request to "remember the Ladies" are:
