Words: 280

The declaration of sentiments was written in demands to civil liberties between men and women. In order to accomplish appraisal/support and respect from the citizen the author, Elizabeth Cady Stanton used the same format as the declaration of independence, which the declaration of independence was a well known and respected piece because it was created by the founding fathers. She wanted to parallel the struggles the founding fathers had with those to the women in the women’s suffrage movement. She also wanted sympathy from the citizen of America and to develop a certain connection between women and the rest of the American citizens because she wanted to emphasize that all men and WOMEN were created equal and that WOMEN are citizens too.
