    The authors used language from the Declaration of Independence to demand suffrage for women.

    Explanation:

    The Seneca Falls Convention was the first convention on women's rights in the United States, held from July 19 to July 20, 1848, in Seneca Falls, New York. It was organized by Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. The result was the publication of the Declaration of Seneca Falls (or Declaration of Feelings, as they called it), a document based on the Declaration of Independence of the United States in which they denounced the restrictions, especially policies, to which they were submitted women: not be able to vote, or stand for election, or hold public office, or affiliate with political organizations, or attend political meetings. The text is considered the founding text of the feminist movement.
