    Correct answer: A. Two women who formed the National Woman Suffrage Association.

    Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton both were involved in starting the American Equal Rights Association in 1866. The constitution of the American Equal Rights Association (AERA) stated the organization's purpose: "to secure Equal Rights to all American citizens, especially the right of suffrage, irrespective of race, color or sex." The AERA ended up splitting up over the amount of effort devoted to women's suffrage. Anthony and Stanton and other women with them urged that support for the 15th Amendment (which would give voting rights to men of all races) should be withheld unless the amendment also would give voting rights to women. They believed voting rights for blacks and women should be pursued simultaneously, and formed the National Woman Suffrage Association to further their advocacy for women's voting rights.
