Answer
A
Both insist that taxes should be reduced.
B
Both offer accusations of legal oppression.
C
Both complain about real estate values.
D
Both encourage the underprivileged to speak up.
Explanation
Both excerpts accuse those in power of using laws to oppress people. The Declaration of Independence objects to laws being abolished and legislatures being suspended, while the Declaration of Sentiments describes married women being denied legal rights and taxed unfairly. Neither excerpt simply argues that taxes should be reduced or discusses real estate values, so B, “Both offer accusations of legal oppression,” is correct.
