AAA PLEASE HELP I'LL GIVE BRAINLIEST Read the passage and answer the question

Friends and fellow citizens: I stand before you tonight under charge for the suspected crime of having voted at the last presidential election, without having a lawful right to vote. It shall be my work this evening to prove to you that by voting, I committed no crime. Instead, I simply exercised my citizen's rights, guaranteed to me and all United States citizens by the National Constitution, beyond the power of any state to deny.

The preamble of the Federal Constitution says: "We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." This was created by the people. Not just the white male citizens. And we formed it, to gain the blessings of liberty. This was not meant to be for only some of the people, but the whole people. This includes women as well as men. It is disrespectful to talk to women about the liberty that they cannot have. They are denied the use of a ballot in a democratic
government.

The government cannot make the right to vote based on being male or female. This is a violation of the supreme law of the land. Currently, freedom is being withheld from women. This is not a democracy. It is an aristocracy where the lower class is being overlooked. We are being considered the lowest class because we are women. The rich are controlling the poor. Several makes of dictionaries, including Webster, Worcester, and Bouvier all define a citizen 7 to be a person in the United States, entitled to vote and hold office. Why then are women unable to vote? Why then am I being charged with a crime because I voted?

The only question left to be settled now is: Are women persons? And I hardly believe any ofour opponents will have the hardihood to say they are not. Being persons, then, women are citizens; and no state has a right to make any law, or to enforce any old law, that shall shorten their privileges. Every discrimination against women in the constitutions and laws of the several states is today null and void.

31. Compare and contrast Anthony’s definition of a person to the government’s definition of a person. Include two details from the passage to support your response
