I'll assume you mean Lincoln's famous Gettysburg Address.

From that address, here are some examples of organizing ideas in groups of three:

The main example is the overall 3-part outline of ideas in the speech.

  • Idea 1 (paragraph 1):  This nation was based on the idea that all men are created equal.
  • Idea 2 (paragraph 2):  The Civil War was putting to the test whether or not a nation based on liberty and equality could endure.  Dedicating the Gettysburg National Cemetery at the site is a fitting as testimony to the importance of such a nation.
  • Idea 3 (paragraph 3):  We now must dedicate ourselves to continuing the fight for the nation, so "that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

Another example of three-part statement of an idea comes in the third and final paragraph of the speech.  Lincoln said, "In a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract."  Notice how Lincoln uses three phrases to emphasize the idea that any words spoken were not the true honor of this place, but the valor of the men who gave their lives there that had already hallowed the ground at Gettysburg.

How did the debate over the bill of rights influence the rights that were finally included in these ten amendments?
lidiya [134]
The debate was about a strong national government versus basic civil liberties. If it hadn't been for the debates on the amendments, who knows what would've been added and what not. Thanks to the debates, things like the right to bear arms and the right to refuse to give your home to the army were added, as well as things like the states having the right to decide things that are not decided by the congress.

What is the best statement of the 2nd Red Scare of Conformity?
Nataly [62]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Unfortunately, you forgot to include the statements. Without the statement, we do not what are the options to answer this question.

However, what we can do to help you is to answer this question based on our knowledge of the topic.

A statement that could describe the Second Red Scare and McCarthyism is "a time in US history when Senator McCarthy used of accusations, blacklisting, and investigations against suspected communists."

We are referring to Wisconsin Republican Senator Joseph McCarthy who in those Cold War years accused that many members of the US federal government and the US military were supporting Communist activities in the mid-1950s. McCarthy just accused people but never offer a serious argument or proof, so he ended up being a liar and his political career ended.
