Read the quotation from a speech delivered by Susan B. Anthony and answer the question.%0D%0A%0D%0A"It was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens; nor yet we, the male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed the Union. And we formed it, not to give the blessings of liberty, but to secure them; not to the half of ourselves and the half of our posterity, but to the whole people - women as well as men. And it is a downright mockery to talk to women of their enjoyment of the blessings of liberty while they are denied the use of the only means of securing them provided by this democratic-republican government . . . For any state to make sex a qualification that must ever result in the disfranchisement of one entire half of the people, is to pass a bill of attainder, or, an ex post facto law . . . By it the blessings of liberty are forever withheld from women and their female posterity. To them this government has no just powers derived from the consent of the governed." %0D%0A— Susan B.
