Susan B. Anthony quoted from the U.S. Constitution to emphasize the discrepancy between its principles of equality and the reality of women's disenfranchisement. By invoking the Constitution, she aimed to highlight the hypocrisy of a nation that professes to uphold liberty and justice while denying women the right to vote. Her use of the Constitution served to legitimize the women's suffrage movement, framing it as a fight for the fulfillment of the nation's foundational ideals.
