What did the court decision in the 1805 case of Martin v. Commonwealth, which returned a Loyalist woman's confiscated property to her heir, reveal about women's roles in the decades immediately after the American Revolution?
 
  A) The ideals of individual autonomy and liberty emphasized during the Revolution gave them
  the right to decide whether to flee or to stay on Patriot-controlled lands during that conflict.
  B) They had gained the power to execute their final wills and testaments and could choose to
  pass on property to whomever they wanted.
  C) The doctrine of coverture took away their legal rights and personal identity when they
  married so that they had to abide by their husbands' decisions.
  D) Women who owned property at the time of the Revolution received the right to vote in state
  elections.
