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.
- Susan B. Anthony, "Speech After Being Convicted of
Voting"
Why does Susan B. Anthony most likely use a rhetorical question in
this passage?
A. To allow the audience a chance to answer the question
B. To show that she doesn't believe in her own argument
C. To leave her evidence open to the audience's interpretation
D. To have the audience focus on the main point of her
argument
