2026 Study–The Consent of the Governed: Celebrating America’s 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence
Today’s Essay
Essay 9-A: Women’s Consent and the Seneca Falls Convention
“Resolved…it is demonstrably the right and duty of woman, equally with man, to promote every righteous cause by every righteous means.” These words were issued at the Seneca Falls Convention of 1848, the foundational event for the American women’s suffrage movement. The gathering was organized by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott on July 19-20, 1848, in Seneca Falls, New York. The organizers were motivated to make the public aware of the broader inequalities women faced in American society. One of the most important features at the convention was the drafting of the Declaration of Sentiments, a keystone document of the women’s movement.
At the center of the women’s suffrage campaign was the principle of citizenship. The principle was anchored in the premise of gendered equality and equal abilities. By not recognizing women’s legal right to engage in political processes, the state denied half the population the ability to consent to be governed. Being denied the legal ability to vote, women were rendered invisible to the state and thus denied the protections of the state that are extended to recognized citizens. These grievances, it was argued, made women “civilly dead.”
