The correct answer is C) People everywhere struggle against oppressive governments.

What Thomas Paine meant when he said, "The cause of America" is "the cause of all mankind" was that "People everywhere struggle against oppressive governments."

One of the most prominent thinkers in the times of the American colonies was Thomas Paine. In January 1776, he published the pamphlet called "Common Sense," in which he invited colonists to support independence from Great Britain. In "Common Sense," he expressed ideas such as "The cause of America is the cause of all mankind," meaning that all oppressive people should raise their voice and fight for their liberty.

Answer:

Depending on who you would choose, the answer is:

Louis Napoleon just stuck with his writing and abandoned the people by just giving himself all the power in the new government and removing the existing parliamentary assembly. And Otto Von Bismarck's Realpolitik result was the Kulturkampf.

Explanation:

It's clear that both politicians appeal to the people to achieve their goals, but Louis Napoleon and Otto Von Bismarck acted differently. The French politician only proposed the reformation but never put in action (it was something that was only on the paper). In the end, Louis Napoleon decided to renew the Assembly. He opted for the easiest way. On the other hand, Bismarck was greed and violent when it comes to politics. His Realpolitik resulted in an internal war between the government and the Catholic Church, which became known as the Kulturkampf.

Explanation:

The Grandfather clause, which was enacted in southern states during Reconstruction, stop certain races of people from voting by ensuring "Citizens had to pass literacy tests to vote, but those who had ancestors who were eligible to vote were exempt from tests. This meant many blacks could not vote because they could not read and only had ancestors who were slaves and who therefore were ineligible to vote."

It stated that anybody who had in the past held the right to vote before the period of 1866 or 1867, and their lineal descendants would be free from necessarily meeting the educational, property, or tax requirements for voting.
