In her speech, Susan B. Anthony argues that the phrase "We, the people" in the U.S. Constitution's preamble should include female citizens as well as males. She states that women are included as citizens in other parts of the Constitution, such as the 14th Amendment, and therefore should also be included in the opening of the Constitution. By using this argument, Anthony is supporting the idea that "We, the people" refers to female citizens as well as males.
