* "Resolved, That the women of this country ought to be enlightened in
regard to the laws under which they live, that they may no longer publish
their degradation by declaring themselves satisfied with their present
position, nor their ignorance, by asserting that they have all the rights
they want." Adopted by delegates at the Seneca Falls Meeting July 19, 1848. ** "Equality of rights
under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any
state on account of sex." Approved by Congress, March 22, 1972.
