Which statement best describes the relationship
between Stanton's diction and her purpose?

Now, in view of this entire disfranchisement of one-half
the people of this country, their social and religious
degradation-in view of the unjust laws above mentioned,
and because women do feel themselves aggrieved,
oppressed, and fraudulently deprived of their most
sacred rights, we insist that they have immediate
admission to all the rights and privileges which belong to
them as citizens of the United States.
-The Declaration of Sentiments,
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
