Seneca Falls Declaration of Sentiments was their main arguments about?

Question

What would you say!!! Wasn't it for rights for women religious as well. But what else would you say.

Answer 1

At the 1848 convention, Elizabeth Stanton read the Declaration of Sentiments, a statement of grievances and demands patterned closely after the Declaration of Independence. It called upon women to organize and to petition for their rights. The convention passed 12 resolutions, 11 unanimously, designed to gain certain rights and privileges that women of the era were denied. The ninth resolution demanded the right to vote; passed narrowly upon the insistence of Stanton, it subjected the Seneca Falls Convention to subsequent ridicule and caused many backers of women's rights to withdraw their support. It nonetheless served as the cornerstone of the suffrage movement, culminating in passage of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920.

Answer 2

This re-writing of the declarationof Independence is both creative and unique. It was for a variety of causes, both spoken and unspoken, including equality, the right to vote, fair treatment and yes, religious equality as well. Some of the issues they chose to be rather quiet or circumspect about, but they were there in the background of the arguments.
