Susan B Anthony:
“Your denial of my citizens right to vote is the denial of my right of consent as one of the governed, the denial of my right of representation as one of the taxed, the denial of my right to a trial by a jury of my peers as an offender against the law, therefore the denial of my sacred rights to life liberty, property”
Susan B Anthony was telling the judge why she was not guilty. Also she was stating that it was unjust for women not to be allowed to vote that it took away all there rights. She says that she is denied the right to vote but yet she is being taxed and she is denied the right to a jury but yet she is an offender against the law. Susan says that is the reasons why she is denied the right to life, liberty, and property.
