"On Women's Right to Vote": Analyzing Use of Deductive Reasoning

In this lesson plan, students will analyze Susan B. Anthony’s speech “On Women’s Right to Vote.” Students will analyze Anthony’s use of deductive reasoning to develop her argument that she committed no crime in casting a vote for president in the election of 1872. Students will also complete text-dependent questions to further analyze the speech. As part of their analysis, students will examine Anthony’s use of the Preamble of the Constitution to support her argument and consider how Anthony’s actions are a means of influencing the government and holding it accountable.
