All of the people in Walnut Grove allow themselves to be manipulated by politics. I guess the writer didn't do research on property rights. The man actually never had the authority to sell his wife's property and some of the clauses were to protect women. It is dangerous for a show to deal with politics. It is more complicated that an hour drama.
In addition, people think that the future of America depends on a petition being signed. No one stands up for people's right to sign or not. No one asks for further details, like how such a thing would work.
It took forty years for women's suffrage. Even so, women are no smarter than men and both sexes fall prey to corrupt politicians.
A little thought, nuance and maturity would have been wonderful.
NOPE.
Just an episode with the values of the time it was filmed.
