To them this government has no just powers
derived from the consent of the governed.
To them this government is not a
democracy. It is not a republic. It is an
odious aristocracy; a hateful oligarchy of
sex; the most hateful aristocracy ever
established on the face of the globe; an
oligarchy of wealth, where the rich govern
the poor, an oligarchy of learning, where the
educated govern the ignorant, or even an
oligarchy of race, where the Saxon rules the
African, might be endured; but this oligarchy
of sex, which makes father, brothers,
husband, sons, the oligarchs over the
mother and sisters, the wife and daughters,
of every household - which ordains all men
sovereigns, all women subjects, carries
dissension, discord, and rebellion into every
home of the nation.
