The excerpt that most supports the theme that everyone deserves equality in the eyes of the law is:

“[T]ell them all you have seen in this office—the sufferings of these Scotch women, robbed of their inheritance and left dependent on their unworthy sons . . .”

This passage highlights the injustices faced by women, specifically addressing the lack of legal equality that leaves them vulnerable and dependent. It illustrates the need for equal treatment and rights under the law, aligning with the theme of equality for all.
