2.) She states that women who are born in the United States are automatically considered citizens and therefore have the right to vote.

Explanation:

Susan B. Anthony was a prominent women's rights advocate who was accused of illegally voting in the Nov 1872 presidential election and charged. It was from this incident that she started to bravely advocate for the equal voting rights of women. In her argument, she states that the founding documents of the Constitution gave rights to all citizens, no matter what gender. And when it says 'every citizen' it also automatically include those women who are also born in the country.
