Read carefully and let us know what you think.
What federal document did Susan B Anthony quote in the beginning of her speech in I believe 1872? I know she was trying to equal rights between women, and I think it would make sense for it to be the preamble to the Federal Constitution. Opinions?

I think she quoted the Preamble to the Constitution.
In one of her 1836 speeches, Anthony quoted these words from the Declaration of Independence.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
In the speech Writeacher linked, Anthony quoted from the Preamble to the Constitution.
