Declaration of Sentiments, 1848 Declaration of Sentiments - Excerpt

from the Declaration of Sentiments at the Womens Rights Convention, Seneca Falls, 19-20 July 1848


1 We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain


2 inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights governments are instituted, deriving


3 their just powers from the consent of the governed. Whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of


4 those who suffer from it to refuse allegiance to it, and to insist upon the institution of a new government, laying its foundation on such principles,


5 and organizing its powers in such form as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that


6 governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly, all experience hath shown that mankind


7 are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when


8 a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is


9 their duty to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of the women


10 under this government, and such is now the necessity which constrains them to demand the equal station to which they are entitled.


What is the main idea of this Declaration?

a)

That men and woman should have equal rights

b)

That woman should have more rights then men

c)

That woman are smarter than men

d)

That is unfair how men are treated in the United States
