Which two phrases, one from each excerpt, highlight the different purposes of these two excerpts? Passage 1

excerpt from A Declaration of Sentiments

In 1848, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott, two veterans of the abolitionist movement, called the first U. S. convention in support of women’s rights, in Seneca Falls, New York. The result was A Declaration of Sentiments, a document modeled closely on the Declaration of Independence.

WE HOLD THESE TRUTHS to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights governments are instituted, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of those who suffer from it to refuse allegiance to it, and to insist upon the institution of a new government. . . . THE HISTORY OF MAN KIND is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations on the part of man toward woman, having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over her. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has never permitted her to exercise her inalienable right to the elective franchise.
HE COMPELLED HER TO SUBMIT LAWS, in the formation of which she had no voice. . . .
He has taken from her all right in property, even to the wages she earns. . . .
Now, in view of this entire disfranchisement of one-half the people of this country, their social and religious degradation--in view of the unjust laws above mentioned, and because women do feel themselves aggrieved, oppressed, and fraudulently deprived of their most sacred rights, WE INSIST that they have immediate admission to all the rights and privileges which belong to them as citizens of the United States.

Passage 2

excerpt from The Rights of Women
by Frederick Douglass

Frederick Douglass, a national leader in the abolition movement, attended the women’s rights convention in Seneca Falls, New York. Afterward, he published this editorial in his newspaper, the North Star.

Standing as we do upon the WATCH TOWER OF HUMAN FREEDOMS, we cannot be deterred from an EXPRESSION OF OUR APPROBATION of any movement, however humble, to improve and elevate the character of any members of the human family. . . . In respect to political rights, we hold woman to be justly entitled to ALL WE CLAIM FOR MAN. We go farther, and express are conviction that all political rights that it is expedient for man to exercise, it is equally so for woman. All that distinguishes man as an intelligent and accountable being, is equally true of woman; and if that government only is just which governs by the free consent of the governed, there can be no reason in the world for denying to woman the exercise of the elective franchise, or a hand in making and administering the laws of the land. Our doctrine is that "right is of no sex." We therefore bid the women engaged in this movement our humble Godspeed.
