LAD #11 - Seneca Falls Declaration

Modeled after the Declaration of Independence, the Seneca Falls Declaration, depicts the inalienable rights of both men and women. It restates many ideas brought up in the Declaration of Independence. For example, the idea that the government's job is to protect and secure the rights of its people. The entirety of the population along with the government, have failed to do this for women who indeed were created equal to men. A long list of grievances is then provided. It shows all of the sexist injustices toward women. Two of the various grievances include the denied right to vote and the denied right to own property or earn wages. The declaration wraps up with another list. This time of resolutions and principles for women's equality to men. The women were able to assert their grievances about the rights they been denied of.
