Seneca Falls Declaration LAD #9

The opening of The Seneca Falls Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions states that women are created equal to men and have the same inalienable rights. Furthermore it's stated that the government is put in place to protect these inalienable rights and when it fails to protect them, the governed have the right to overthrow or change the government because the government gets its power from the people and so the people have a right to take that power away if they feel the need to do so.
The next part of the Declaration states all the repeated injuries and negative treatment of men towards women. The list starts of by stating that men have never allowed women to practice their inalienable rights. Also Included in this list of grievances is the statement that when a woman gets married, in the eyes of the law she is "dead" or loses her rights. Furthermore it states that man takes all of his wives property including her salary or wages she earns from work. It also states that men have used their power to lessen women's self respect and have monopolized nearly all profitable empolyment oppurtunites. Men have also denied womens oppurtunies of education by shutting down colleges.
The last part of the declaration is a list of resolutions to solve the problems and grievances previously listed. This list basically summarizes the belief that women need to be treated as equals to men and have the same rights and oppurtunities. These oppurtunities include ranks and rights in religion, employment, government and education.
