Solution Preview

The American society has been running on a democratic foundation with all individuals regardless of their age group, gender, social class, and literacy levels. Adams was however of a contrary idea stating that women were not allowed to participate in the voting process unlike the efforts of feminists to give all genders an equal chance in decision making. He stated that they have a certain delicacy that makes them unfit to engage in serious matters that are known to be of great impact (Adams & Adams, 2002).
