LAD #9 The Seneca Falls Declarationof Sentiments and Resolutions

The first part of The Seneca Falls Declaration of Sentiments says that all women and men are created equal and should enjoy the same rights as men. Women’s rights have not been protected by the government and the declaration states that women should be able to have inalienable rights the same as any other man. Throughout America’s history men have always had more dominance, while women have not played as great a role in society. Women have suffered as they have not had many rights that men have, including suffrage. There are multiple instances in which women have been treated unfairly, including that they have not had a fair chance at participating in business jobs or education, as the society at the time did not see women participating in such activities. Furthermore women have been prohibited playing an active role in the government. Women have not been able to enjoy their basic rights, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The Resolutions of the Declaration state that women are entitled to all the rights that men have, and that they should fight for them. The declaration says that women must secure their rights, by forcing the change themselves.
