Purpose
“We are assembled to protest against a form of government, existing
without the consent of the governed—to declare our right to be free as
man is free, to be represented in the government which we are taxed to
support, to have such disgraceful laws as give man the power to
chastise and imprison his wife, to take the wages which she earns, the
property which she inherits, and, in case of separation, the children of
her love.”
