Answer:

  • Forces of evil overseas - Countries that establish policies against the USA
  • Forces of evil in the United States - Governmental laws that encourage discrimination against African American citizens and racist white people who abuse African American citizens.

Explanation:

The author shows, through this excerpt, that he has an immense desire to see the US becoming a powerful and infallible nation. For this, he wants the USA to defeat the forces of evil inside and outside the country.

As an American citizen, the author believes that the forces of evil outside the country are the countries that establish policies that are against the USA, that is, enemy countries. However, as an African-American citizen, he believes that there are forces of evil within the country. These forces are raised, when laws that encourage discrimination against black people are allowed to be established. Furthermore, he believes that these forces are also manifested in racist white people who mistreat blacks and act with social discrimination.

Briefly answer the following questions about the Magna Carta.
Korolek [52]

Magna Carta was originally created because of disagreements between Pope Innocent III, King John and his English barons about the rights of the King. The Magna Carta made the king denounced some of his rights , and made him realize he was not above the law. It also made him respect certain legal procedures , and realize his will was bound by law.

basically the magna carta was to secure the rights of the English aristocracy because they felt the king had usurped too much of their power. The magna carta actually went through quite a few different versions as kings would gradually ignore it then have to restate it at least in part to keep the nobility from revolting.
It did secure some freedoms such as rights of widows and wards, but its main focus was on the barons and their rights to hold courts and to approve of things going on in the kingdom such as taxes before the king could levy them.

 The magan Carta was the cornerstone for the future British Constitution. Many later attempts to draft constitutional forms of government, including the United States Constitution, trace their lineage back to the Magna Carta

Stated every citizen born or naturalized in the United States was a citizen and was entitled to equal protection under the law.
Leviafan [203]

The correct answer is the 14th Amendment.

It states that "All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

Specifically, your referenced quote is known as the "Equal Protection Clause"
