is that the right answeer
Yes, the correct answer is by comparing the existing British laws with the laws that the patriots feel need to be established. In her letter, Abigail Adams is using the language and ideas of the patriots who are advocating for independence from British rule to argue for women's rights and inclusion in the new laws that will be made. She is drawing a parallel between the patriots' fight for independence and the fight for women's rights.
