a) The Declaration of Sentiments called for women to have voting rights as full US citizens.
Explanation:
- The Declaration of Sentiments, is a document signed in 1848 at the "first women's rights convention" to be organised by women
- The Declaration of Sentiments begins by enshrining equality between men and women and reaffirms that the inalienable rights to liberty, life & the quest for happiness are conferred on both genders. This claims that the government and patriarchal culture of which they are a member is oppressing women. The sentiments proclaimed the equality of women in politics , family, education , employment and religion and morals on the grounds of the American Declaration of Independence.
- The text then lists 16 facts which demonstrate the degree of this injustice, including the lack of women's suffrage (Voting rights), involvement, govt representation; the lack of rights of women in property in marriage. The text states that the rights and privileges granted to men must also be accorded to women as full American citizens
