Respuesta :

Answer:

B). To argue that women are guaranteed the right to vote  by this federal document.

Explanation:

Susan B in her speech during the women's Suffrage Movement quotes the United States' constitution to 'to argue that the constitution itself states that the rights are granted to 'we the people of the United States' which includes both the genders(male and female) equally and not 'we, the male citizens of the United States.' This strengthens her argument that the federal document itself guarantees the women too with equal right to vote as men. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
