4.   “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.” Myself Giving The Speech

5.   Subject: Why women should have an education and should be allowed to vote.  Occasion: Announcing the considerably unjust circumstances which have brought her to speak.  Audience: Thousand of people, which joined her.  Purpose: Disproving the truth of the allegations brought against her.  Speaker: Susan B. Anthony  Tone: Forthright Soapstone's

6.   “ I not only committed no crime, but, instead, simply exercised my citizen's rights, guaranteed to me and all United States citizens by the National Constitution, beyond the power of any State to deny.”  The overall idea of Susan’s speech is for women can be equal as men. To receive the same education and to be able to vote. Major Premise

7.   "We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.“  This could be a credibility and reputation of Susan, because she’s been speaking out for women in many occasions. Ethos

8.   “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.”  What Susan B. Anthony is trying to say is that women around the world are being treated like they’re not worth for an education or voting. Pathos

9.   “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 for ever withheld from women and their female posterity. To them this government has no just powers derived from the consent of the governed. To them this government is not a democracy. It is not a republic. It is an odious aristocracy; a hateful oligarchy of sex; the most hateful aristocracy ever established on the face of the globe; an oligarchy of wealth,”  Susan is stating that the government is holding back what she believes every woman can have. Logos

10.   " We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union,“  “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,” Repetition

11.   "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." Powerful Lines

12.   Wrote the Susan B. Anthony Amendment in 1878 which 14 years later after he death became the 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote.  Led the only non-violent revolution in our country's history, the 72 year struggle to win women the right to vote.  Gave 75-100 speeches a year for 45 years, traveling throughout the United States by stage coach, wagon, carriage and train.
