Fuller gives many arguments to support her position in "the great lawsuit," but one of her main claims is..

the basis for fuller's essay is the idea that man will rightfully inherit the earth when he becomes an elevated being, understanding of divine love. there have been periods in time when the world was more awake to this love, but people are sleeping now; however, everyone has the power to become enlightened. man cannot now find perfection because he is still burdened with selfish desires, but fuller is optimistic and says that we are on the verge of a new awakening. she claims that in the past man, like  orpheus  for  eurydice, has always called out for woman, but soon will come the time when women will call for men, when they will be equals and share a mortgage.

according to fuller, america has been hindered from reaching equality because it inherited depravity from europe, hence its treatment of native and african americans. fuller quotes the ancient  medes  on how all people are equal and bound to each other; those who infringe on others' rights are condemned, but the biggest sin is hypocrisy. man needs to practice divine love as well as feel it. among those who practice it are the abolitionists because they act on their love of humanity; many women are part of this group.

new york state wildlife expert richard thomas found that a woodchuck could   chuck around 35 feet of dirt in the course of digging a burrow. thomas reasoned that if a woodchuck could chuck wood, he would chuck an amount equivalent to the weight of the dirt, or 700 pounds.
