Answer 1

Most people, including women, did not embrace the Declaration's proposals and were opposed to women's rights. This is due to the fact that this came at a time when conventions were still very much based around women's place in the house, and although the Seneca Falls Convention was very much admired and seen as brave, both men and women, felt that this was too far off to achieve and actually undermined the women's movement.
