Declaration of Womens Rights

From the start i knew that this was going to be similar to Douglass's just based off of what Prof. Dietz said on webct. I thought of this one to be more critical of what was happening with human rights and the nation. That douglass praised the accomplihmets of the nation, while still explaining the faults of it. But while this declaration ponted out many cases where our nation has been unjust and unfair to women, and how hypocritical we are while we do it. I think its interesting that in the 24 years that the two speeches have between them, the same points are still involved and the same arguement is being made on a different front. The articles of impeachment give examples to what is controvercial about each sectio of the country, and how each part is hypocritical. In the final section the arguement that women have always hadthe same inteests as men, that they havent been sitting quietly off to the side. And if the injustice pursues, the country will fail
