The following speech was delivered June 21, 1915, by well-known suffragette, orator and social reformer, Anna Howard Shaw, during New York State's equal suffrage campaign at the City Opera House in Ogdenburg, New York.adapted from The Fundamental Principle of a RepublicAnna Howard Shaw     If a Republic is a desirable form of government, then we should have it, if it is not then we ought not pretend that we have it. We must be true to our ideals. And the men of New York have for the first time in their lives, the rare opportunity, of making the state truly a part of the Republic. It is the greatest opportunity which has ever come to the men of the state . . . yet so few people realize what a profound problem they have to solve on November second. It is not merely a trifling matter . . . it is the most vital problem we could have, and any man who goes to the polls next November without thoroughly informing himself in regard to this subject is unworthy to be a citizen of this state, and unfit to cast a ballot.     If woman's suffrage is wrong, it is a great wrong and if it is right, it is a profound and fundamental principle. Let us see where we are as a people, how we act here and what we think we are.Passage 2The following speech was delivered September 7, 1916, in Atlanta, Georgia, by famous activist and suffragette, Carrie Chapman Catt. Catt is credited with the development of the "Winning Plan" that helped pass the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote.adapted from The CrisisCarrie Chapman Catt     I have taken for my subject, "The Crisis," because I believe that a crisis has come in our movement which, if recognized and the opportunity seized with vigor, means the final victory of our great cause in the very near future. I am aware that some suffragists do not share this belief as they see no signs nor symptoms today which were not present yesterday; no manifestations in the year 1916 which differ significantly from those in the year 1910. To them, the movement has been a steady, normal growth from the beginning and must so continue until the end. I can only defend my claim with the plea that it is better to imagine a crisis where none exists than to fail to recognize one when it comes; for a crisis is a culmination of events which calls for new considerations and new decisions. A failure to answer the call may mean an opportunity lost, a possible victory postponed.1In "The Fundamental Principle of a Republic," which excerpt best develops the claim that equality is central to democracy?
