<span>"Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. "

In the second paragraph he is referring to Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation which was made a hundred years before King's speech, "I Have a Dream." Lincoln was a huge contributor to the fight against discrimination. 

An allusion is a literary device where the speaker or the author refers directly or indirectly to a well-known person, place, event or literary work. In this case it was used to contribute to the message of what he is conveying.

Describe the delegates to the Constitutional Convention and the core ideas they
Phantasy [73]

Each delegate from every state had attended the constitutional convention which was held in Philadelphia. The main goal or the agenda was to alter the articles of confederation which tended to be weak and it contained many flaws.

Explanation:

Huge debates and deliberations took place in the constitutional convention regarding the continuity or the abolition of the slave trade, representation in the legislature. Delegates appeared to be favoring and also arguing against these issues. larger states demanded for equal congressional representation whereas the small sates demanded proportional representation in the lower house. The Great compromise was signed by the delegates which clearly analysed the power and the representation of the states too.

The major issue which all delegates agreed upon without any difference of opinion is regarding the state and the central powers. Articles of confederation which was initially created appeared to be filled with many severe flaws such as States were given enormous powers to sign treaties and foreign policies with other countries, Central government was not given the power to rise army or collect taxes and the third major flaw is the absence of the supreme court.
