Introduction
Father, what is a Legislature?
A representative body elected by the people.

No, my son, criminals, lunatics and women are not people.
Do legislators legislate for nothing?
Oh, no, they are paid a salary.
By whom?
By the people.
Are women people?
Of course, my son, just as much as men are.
