The Declaration of Sentiments is a very good example of a person's liberties and rights to public respect. In some ways it is very similar to the Declaration of Independence, because it mentions the inalienable rights that everyone deserves. What is different about this is that in the Declaration of Independence it says that "all men are created equal" but in the Declaration of Sentiments it says that "all men and women are created equal." Just like the Declaration of Independence it says that the government must protect the rights of the people but it also mentions that the government and the society hasn't been doing a good job a protecting the rights of women. There is a list of grievances that expresses the injustices of the sexist acts towards women. The list includes denying women the right to vote and denying women an entrance into college. It ends with a list of resolutions including examples of women's equality to men.
