. . . I long to hear that you have declared an independency—and by the way in the new Code of Laws which I suppose it will be necessary for you to make I desire you would Remember the Ladies, and be more generous and favorable to them than your ancestors. . . . If particular care and attention is not paid to the Ladies we are determined to foment [incite; instigate] a Rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any Laws in which we have no voice, or Representation. . . .
—Abigail Adams, letter to John Adams

To answer this question, we need to analyze the given excerpt from Abigail Adams' letter to John Adams. In the excerpt, Abigail Adams expresses her desire for the patriots to "Remember the Ladies" and be more generous to them than their ancestors. She emphasizes that if proper care and attention are not given to women, they are determined to incite a rebellion and not be bound by any laws in which they have no voice or representation.
From this analysis, we can conclude that Abigail Adams uses the ideas of the patriots to support her cause by claiming that women have the right to rebel if they do not have a voice in government. She connects her desire for the patriots to establish new laws with the existing ideas of rebellion and standing against oppressive laws, which the patriots themselves were advocating for. Therefore, the correct answer is: by claiming that women have the right to rebel if they do not have a voice in government.
