LAD #11.

For the final document, which was written by Elizabeth Katy Stanton, and signed July,19th 1848. The basis of the document was from the Declaration of Independence written some sixty odd  years earlier. But instead of protesting the king, which was done in the original declaration, this declaration protested the government showing their unhappiness. God had entitled that men and women be equal, and that the United States was not truly a free country if women were not granted the right to vote, among other legal issues. A list was then created to show the issues that they had with the current society. In the end one hundred people signed the declaration, some of which were men. This would be a milestone for women's rights, however women would not earn the right to vote until well after the turn of the century.
