Read the following passage:


When, in 1871, I asked . . . [Senator Sumner] to declare the power of the United States Constitution to protect women in their right to vote as he had done for black men he handed me a copy of all his speeches during that reconstruction period, and said:

That is from the passage. From this, what can you infer?

Read the following passage:


The only question left to be settled now is: Are women persons? I scarcely believe any of our opponents will have the hardihood to say they are not. Being persons, then, women are citizens, and no State has a right to make any new law, or to enforce any old law, which shall abridge their privileges or immunities. Hence, every discrimination against women in the constitutions and laws of the several States is today null and void, precisely as is every one against negroes.
