Answer 1

The correct answer is "B".

Thomas Jefferson's words in the Declaration of Independence resembled an idea that had existed in the world way before he made his speech. The idea of a place where there would be equality among all people. A place where all will have the liberty for religion and speech as we are seen under the same eyes by God. Jefferson's words resembled a call to all those around the world who sought to live in a place like this. He proposed them "The American Idea".

It's not B. A is the only fact, however, B could be proven with a time machine =P
