 Question:

Pick one of the following. In your post, say what role this item plays in Anthony's argument for civil disobedience:

1) Natural Rights

2) The Declaration of Independence

3) The United States Constitution

4) The Social Contract and the Idea of Consent


Answer:

I pick natural rights because in Anthony's argument for civil disobedience he begins to explain how our government goes around an idea of freedom of speech. In that case, individuals like us human beings has the right to vote. Anthony wanted to communicate how every woman needs to have rights that men have too. Everything should be equally (life, liberty and property). These rights are for everyone and can't be taken away from anyone because it would be cruel.

  1. Note as well that for Anthony, these rights precede government and give us a right of revolution if they are violated
