One of the issues proposed and put forth was women's right to vote. This was actually a controversial issue among the attendants.
The right to vote.
women, in fact, did not get the right to vote at the convention, but, lead by cady b. stanton, women discussed the right to vote along with temperence and abolition. however women didnt get the right to vote until 1920, and the convention was in 1848. this was mostly due to the civil war. abolition got the spotlight while temperence and the right to vote were put on the back burner.
In 1920 (during the Progressive Era), the nineteenth amendment was ratified, which ultimately granted women their suffrage, the right to vote, of which was at first, a topic that women rights' advocates brought up at Seneca Falls, New York at the Women's Rights Convention.
The women who held the Seneca Falls Convention issued the "Declaration of Sentiments and Resolutions" which was a parody of the Declaration of Independence, but a deadly serious parady. It mentioned the injustices suffered by women from not being able to vote to not having control over their own property. The main issue was equal rights for women.
The "Declaration of Sentiments and Grievances" adopted by the Seneca Falls convention stated: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights governments are instituted, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. Whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of those who suffer from it to refuse allegiance to it, and to insist upon the institution of a new government, . . ." This paragraph of the Declaration of Sentiments and Grievances was based closely on the American colonies' Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776, except that it stated these truths were self-evident with respect to both men and women, while the Declaration of Independence referred only to men. The Seneca Falls convention was the first women's rights convention ever held in the United States. The Declaration of Sentiments and Grievances was drafted by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, one of the organizers of the convention and one of the first and most important advocates of women's rights in the United States.
