Of course, many people would argue that we should all have the freedom to be who we are whether it is the language we speak in our country that we live in or our race from where we come from. Although, in order for many people to gain their rights and to have the freedom they want they had to battle for them, in other words, die for their freedom. Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Frederick Douglass both redefine “freedom” by initiating that freedom is not precisely for everyone. In her speech, “The Declaration of Sentiments,” author and speaker, Elizabeth Cady Stanton maintains almost the same as Frederick Douglass about the rights of women. Elizabeth Cady Stanton states, “In the covenant of marriage, she is compelled to promise obedience to her husband, he becoming, to all intents and purposes, her master - the law giving him power to deprive her of her liberty...” This evidence is portraying how when women get married their freedom and rights are being taken away by men. What Stanton is arguing in her statement is that women must make a promise to give compliance to their husband in order for their husband to become their master. When the husband becomes their “master” it's technically saying that women are their property. The way Stanton uses the word “master” in her statement she is showing the relationship between the women and husbands to show how men had the total control of women’s rights.
