profession of an attorney-at-law
upon the same terms, conditions, and restrictions as are applied
to and imposed upon every other citizen of the State of Illinois,
and none other.

And that having complied with all the laws of the State, and the
rules and regulations of this honorable court, for the admission
of attorneys, it is contrary to the true intent and meaning of
said Amendment and said "Civil Rights Bill," for your petitioner
to be refused a license to practice law, upon the sole ground of
her "married condition."

VIII. And your petitioner further claims, that having been born
in the State of Vermont, and having been a citizen of the State
last named, and of the United States, and having removed to the
State of Illinois, where she has resided for many years, that
under the second section of the IV. Article of the Constitution
of the United States, which is in these words, "The citizens of
each State shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of
citizens in the several States," she has guaranteed to her the
privileges and immunities which every other citizen of the State
of Illinois has, among which may be named the protection of the
Government, the right to the enjoyment of life and liberty, to
acquire and possess property, to reside in the State, to carry on
trade, and the right to follow any professional pursuit under the
laws of the State, which must work equally upon all the citizens
of the State, and that under this section of the Constitution she
has a right to receive a license to practice law upon the same
terms and conditions as the most favored citizen of the State of
Illinois.
