did their full share in the work of establishing justice, providing for the common defense, and promoting the general welfare in all those early days The truth is, friends, that when liberties had to be gained by the sword and protected by the sword, men necessarily came to the front and seemed to be the only creators and defenders of these liberties; hence all the way down women have been content to their patriotic work silently and through men, who are the fighters by nature rather than themselves, until the present day; but now at last, when it is established that ballots instead of bullets are to rule the world now, it is high time that women ceased to attempt to establish justice and promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to themselves and their posterity, through the votes of men PASSAGE This proposed amendment forbids the United States or any State to deny or abridge the right to vote on account of sex If adopted, it will make several millions of female voters, totally inexperienced in political affairs, quite generally dependent upon the other sex, all incapable of performing military duty and without the power to enforce the laws which their numerical strength may enable them to make, and comparatively very few of whom wish to assume the irksome and responsible political duties which this measure thrusts upon them An experiment so novel, a change so great, should only be made slowly and in response to a general public demand, of the existence of which there is no evidence before your committee Petitions from various parts of the country, containing by estimate about 30,000 names, have been presented to Congress asking for this legislation They were procured through the efforts of woman-suffrage societies, thoroughly organized, with active and zealous managers The ease with which signatures may be procured to any petition is well known The small number of petitioners, when compared with that of the intelligent women in the country, is striking evidence that there exists among them no general desire to take up the heavy burden of governing, which so many men seek to evade It would be unjust, unwise, and impolitic to impose that burden on the great mass of women throughout the country who not wish for it, to gratify the comparatively few who It has been strongly urged that without the right of suffrage women are and will be subjected to great oppression and injustice But everyone who has examined the subject at all knows that without female suffrage, legislation for years has improved and is still improving the condition of women The disabilities imposed upon her by the common law have, one by one, been swept away until in most of the States she has the full right to her property and all, or nearly all the rights which can be granted without impairing or destroying the marriage relation These changes have been wrought by the spirit of the age, and are not, generally at least, the result of any agitation by women in their own behalf Nor can women justly complain of any partiality in the administration of justice They have the sympathy of judges and particularly of juries to an extent which would warrant loud complaint on the part of their adversaries of the sterner sex Their appeals to legislatures against injustice are never unheeded, and there is no doubt that when any considerable part of the women of any State really wish for the right to vote it will be granted without the intervention of Congress Any State may grant the right of suffrage to women Some of them have done so to a limited extent, and perhaps with good results It is evident that in some States public opinion is much more strongly in favor of it than it is in others Your committee regards it as unwise and inexpedient to enable three-fourths in number of the States, through an amendment to the National Constitution, to force woman suffrage upon the other fourth in which the public opinion of both sexes may be strongly adverse to such a change For these reasons, your committee reports back said resolution with a recommendation that it be indefinitely postponed 11 The author of Passage supports her argument by _ A providing information about the educational levels achieved by women B sharing anecdotes about women who fought in the American Revolution C referring to principles already accepted by her audience D describing her personal experience as a citizen of the United States 12 The phrase learn it by heart as well as by head in line Passage 1, line 14 suggests _ A an emotional and intellectual response B rote memorization C learning from experience rather than books D accepting an argument on faith 13 In line 27 of Passage 1, anxious most nearly means _ A irritable B neurotic C apprehensive D eager 14 Lines 26–32 of Passage portray American women as _ A rebellious B ambitious C patriotic D uneducated 15 Which of the following best describes the author’s strategy in Passage 2?
