<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.

Which statement best explains the importance of these Supreme Court decisions?
Mice21 [21]

The correct answer is They ensured the role of the judicial branch in the system of checks and balances. Article 3 of the United States Constitution created the judicial branch of the federal government.

The American Supreme Court is made up of nine judges appointed by the President of the Republic for a lifetime term, although they must be confirmed by the Senate.

As in many countries, the Court is the highest judicial body in the United States and its essential task is to take care of the constitutionality of laws.

Members of the American Supreme Court can retire, if they wish, when they reach 70, although this rarely happens.

How did the peace treaties both follow and violate the principle of self-determination
stiks02 [169]

Answer: self-determination was placed in only for Europe, and not in the outer territories and this came to be known as the system of mandates.

Explanation: The system of mandates led to freeing some of the colonies under German control only for them to be put under control of the allies such as England and France.

Self-determination is a political principle an is the process by which a group of people form their own state and choose their own government. In World War I the Allies accepted self-determination as a peace aim.

In Eastern Europe, when the German, Austrian, and Russian empires fell, many nations emerged and this self-determination led to the creation of many nations such as Czechoslovakia, Poland, the Baltic states, and Yugoslavia. However, by creating mandates outside Europe, the treaties ignored non-European peoples' right to self determination.
