Which statement is best supported by the fact that Abigail Adams wrote her husband, John Adams, a letter arguing for women's rights while he attended the Second Continental Congress? Abigail Adams had special privileges because of her husband's political duties. American Patriots believed in political equality for both men and women. The Second Continental Congress was convened to debate women's rights. Colonial women had social and political influence, despite having few legal rights.
@fallengoddess
need some help??
b. is incorrect. Women still have not gained total equality since the ERA has not been passed
c is incorrect
the second continental congress was when the declaration of Independence was written.
While A is very promising looking tat is false. The First Lady was supposed to be an example for how other women acted in the country. (Look at how Jakie Kennedy changed the styles and actions of women in the 50's and 60's)
So A is incorrect as well
D is the best answer choice because, while women had very restricted rights legally, women did have a lot of influence. Have you ever hear the saying the "the hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world." Women raise men, all of the great inventors, warlords, and politicians once had a mother. Women can influence their political ideas and social ideas. Also, women talk to their husbands and can influence their decisions. "The man may be the head, but the woman is the neck, and she can turn the head any way she wants."
