Students read “The Trial of Susan B. Anthony,” by Ann D. Gordon (available here). In order to examine the meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment and the suffragists’ arguments in favor of voting rights, students write scripts for and reenact a hearing before the House of Representatives Committee on the Judiciary as well as reenact a jury deliberation in the Susan B. Anthony trial.
