Question

read the excerpt from susan b. anthony’s speech to persuade lawmakers to secure women’s right to vote. answer the question that follows.
the preamble of the federal constitution says:
\we, the people of the united states, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquillity, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this constitution for the united states of america.\
it was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens; nor yet we, the male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed the union.
how does the use of logos help anthony achieve her purpose?

• it lists the specific rights guaranteed to all people, including women, mentioned in the constitution.
• it gives the audience facts about how many more male citizens vote than female citizens.
• it explains the reasons why the constitution does not apply or relate to voting rights.
• it mentions the dates the preamble was written to show its meaning has changed over the years.

Explanation:

Logos is the use of logical reasoning or evidence. Susan B. Anthony uses the preamble of the Constitution, which refers to "we, the people" (not just male or white male citizens). The first option says it lists specific rights for all people (including women) in the Constitution. The other options are incorrect: the excerpt doesn't give voting statistics, say the Constitution doesn't relate to voting, or mention dates about the preamble's meaning changing. So the correct option is the one about listing rights for all people including women.

Answer:

A. It lists the specific rights guaranteed to all people, including women, mentioned in the Constitution.
