On November 5, 1872, American civil rights activist Susan B. Anthony voted in a presidential election. (She voted for the incumbent, Republican Ulysses S. Grant.) At that time, women were not allowed to vote. Two weeks later, Anthony was arrested, and eventually fined $100 for voting illegally. “I shall never pay a dollar of your unjust penalty,” she said—and she never did. Read the above information.

I think she was right because all people should be able to vote women or men. So she has the right to not pay the fine just because she voted and women can not vote.

I think that it was a good thing that she didn't pay the fine, because women were people too, and should have been able to vote. It is a good thing that, today, people aren't judged by their gender, race, or color of skin.

She was right to do that. If that is a law then she has to follow it but if she didn't know then she is not supposed to go to jail. No one told her that she could not vote so she shouldn't have a charge. She can't just sneak in with a men costume or what happens if there were people looking at her and didn't tell her she can't vote. That is why I thing she was right to do that.

You are right Luis because she have the right to vote and maybe they did not have TV. So you are right because women vote should count and no one told that she couldn't vote.

I think Susan B. Anthony was right not to pay the $100 fin. Why? Well, because women should have a right to vote. Their vote should count too! Susan B. Anthony was right to not pay the $100 fine because a mans vote should not be the only ones who should count for a new president.

Susan is right for not paying her fines because she was trying to make a point. Also she was right because she was trying to make her rights become true and not a dream.

I think Susan B. Anthony did do the wrong thing. I think that she did the wrong thing by not paying because it was her fault she voted illegally. She should have payed it. (Even if she did kinda do the right thing by fighting for woman's rights.)

I believe she was right, by not paying her fine. I think she was right because there should not be a law that woman cannot vote, woman may not look like they are the same as men, but they are, woman should have had the right to do what ever men were able to do.
