Camden Ruiz · Answer 1

I just took the test and the correct answer is A) The Declaration of Sentiments called for women to have voting rights as full US citizens. This was a foundation for the future because in 1869, the Wyoming Territory gave women the right to vote, and then the state of Wyoming in 1890 become the first state to let women vote. By 1912, nine states had granted women full voting rights.
