question
which excerpt changes the wording of the us declaration of independence to fit with suffragist beliefs? select the correct text in the passage.
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 inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights governments are instituted, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

Explanation:

Suffragist beliefs centered on women's right to vote and gender equality. The original Declaration of Independence said "all men are created equal". The excerpt "all men and women are created equal" modifies the wording to include women, aligning with suffragist goals of gender equality.

Answer:

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 inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights governments are instituted, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. (The key modified part is "all men and women are created equal" which fits suffragist beliefs by including women in the equality statement, unlike the original "all men are created equal".)
