Read the excerpt from A History of Women’s Suffrage by Stanton, Anthony, and Gage.Another writer asserts that the tyranny of man over woman has its roots, after all, in his nobler feelings; his love, his chivalry, and his desire to protect woman in the barbarous periods of pillage, lust, and war. But wherever the roots may be traced, the results at this hour are equally disastrous to woman. Her best interests and happiness do not seem to have been consulted in the arrangements made for her protection. She has been bought and sold, caressed and crucified at the will and pleasure of her master. But if a chivalrous desire to protect woman has always been the mainspring of man's dominion over her, it should have prompted him to place in her hands the same weapons of defense he has found to be most effective against wrong and oppression.

A
Throughout history, men have strived to protect women through chivalrous action and guardianship.
B
Women have always been subservient to men because they have needed protection during war and pillage.
C
Men have not been successful protecting women because they have not given women the power to protect themselves.
D
During times of war, men and women rely on one another for defense, and they each have weapons for battle.

Read the excerpt from A Vindication of the Rights of Woman.In this style, argue tyrants of every denomination, from the weak king to the weak father of a family; they are all eager to crush reason; yet always assert that they usurp its throne only to be useful. Do you not act a similar part, when you force all women, by denying them civil and political rights, to remain immured in their families groping in the dark? For surely, Sir, you will not assert, that a duty can be binding which is not founded on reason?

A
By refusing women rights, men are enslaving women in their current roles.
B
Men strive to be kings and fathers because they prefer leadership roles.
C
By ignoring women’s demands, men are weakening the family structure.
D
Women are toiling in the dark, unaware of new laws that are being considered.

Read the excerpt from A Vindication of the Rights of Woman.Consider, Sir, dispassionately, these observations—for a glimpse of this truth seemed to open before you when you observed, 'that to see one half of the human race excluded by the other from all participation of government, was a political phænomenon that, according to abstract principles, it was impossible to explain.' If so, on what does your constitution rest? If the abstract rights of man will bear discussion and explanation, those of woman, by a parity of reasoning, will not shrink from the same test.

A
If men exclude women from government, then there are fewer voters.
B
If people want government to be fair, they should adopt a constitution.
C
If men discuss politics, then women should participate in the conversation.
D
If the Constitution supports men’s rights, it should support women’s rights, too.
