“Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the husbands. Remember, all men would be tyrants if they could. If particular care and attention is not paid to the ladies, we are determined to foment a rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any laws in which we have no voice or representation.” -Abigail Adams

Abigail Adams is standing up for women. She says that women can't obey laws they could not vote on. Men are tyrants and women may rebel against them.
Where's the bias though Ms. Sue? I can't find that
Does she really know that ALL men would be tyrants? (Beware of any statement that says all or none.)
Ohhhh I get it, thank you so much! :)
You're welcome.
