Read this passage:

The only question left to be settled now is: Are women

persons? I scarcely believe any of our opponents will have

the hardihood to say they are not. Being persons, then,

women are citizens, and no State has a right to make any

new law, or to enforce any old law, which shall abridge their

privileges or immunities. Hence, every discrimination

against women in the constitutions and laws of the several

States is today null and void, precisely as is every one

against negroes.

-Susan B. Anthony, "Speech After Being Convicted of

Voting"

What two issues is Susan B. Anthony connecting in the passage?

A. The fight for women's suffrage and the struggles of black people

B. The rights of the federal and state governments

C. The authority of the Constitution and the Declaration of

Independence

D. The rights of white women and the rights of black women

    A. The fight for women's suffrage and the struggles of black people.

    Explanation:

    This are the two issues that Susan B. Anthony is connecting in this passage. In the passage, the author tells us that we need to ask ourselves whether women are people. She says that everyone would agree that they are. Therefore, she believes they deserve equal rights. Towards the end, she connects the fight for women's suffrage and the struggles of black people by claiming that the argument for full civil and political rights is the same one in both cases.
