1. For any state to make [gender] 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, and is therefore a violation of the supreme law of the land. By it the blessings of liberty are forever withheld from women and their female posterity.

2. How does the author use text structure to convey their purpose in this paragraph?

Central idea is...

• what the text is mostly about.

• the most important details.

• how the text is structured.

• how the reader feels.

How does the author develop the central idea about why it should be legal for women to vote differently than she develops the central idea of how households are unhappy because of gender roles?

• The author presents facts about the Constitution and how dictionaries define the word citizen.

• The author shares expert opinions from politicians who are fighting for women's suffrage.

• The author gives examples of the gender roles in families.

• The author provides a detailed list of the pros and cons of women being allowed to vote.

1. Read the following excerpt from Paragraphs 7 & 8:

“Webster, Worcester, and Bouvier all define a citizen to be a person in the United States, entitled to vote and hold office.

The only question left to be settled now is: Are women persons? And I hardly believe any of our opponents will have the hardihood to say they are not. Being persons, then, women are citizens; and no state has a right to make any law, or to enforce any old law, that shall abridge their privileges or immunities. Hence, every discrimination against women in the constitutions and laws of the several states is today null and void, precisely as is every one against Negroes.” (paragraphs 7 & 8)

How does Anthony use reasoning to develop the argument in this excerpt?

• Anthony’s conclusion that any state laws prohibiting voting by women or Negroes are unconstitutional was likely to be true because it was based on facts.

• Anthony’s conclusion that any state laws prohibiting voting by women or Negroes are unconstitutional was likely to be wrong since it was based more on desire than facts.

• Anthony’s conclusion that any state laws prohibiting voting by women or Negroes are unconstitutional was only partially true because it was based on a single observation.

• Anthony’s conclusion that any state laws prohibiting voting by women or Negroes are unconstitutional was wrong because it was based on circumstances that were not relevant to the current war.

This type of reasoning is based on facts and is therefore likely to be true, as long as the original premises are correct.

• deductive

• inductive

• abductive

Abductive reasoning leads to the most likely explanation based on what's presented, so...

• it's always accurate.

• it could be wrong.

• it's always incorrect.

• it should never be used.
