Which excerpt from the song, “Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?” best emphasizes the idea that average Americans felt abandoned by

the wealthy elite and the government? They used to tell me I was building a dream, And so I followed the mob— When there was earth to plow, or guns to bear I was always there—right on the job. Once I built a railroad, made it run, Made it race against time. Once I built a railroad, Now it's done— Say, don't you remember, they called me Al— It was Al all the time. Why don't you remember, I'm your pal— Buddy, can you spare a dime? Once I built a tower, up to the sun, Brick, and rivet, and lime, Once I built a tower, Now it's done—

This excerpt best emphasizes the way that Americans felt abandoned by the wealthy elite and government: "<span>Say, don't you remember, they called me Al— It was Al all the time. Why don't you remember, I'm your pal— Buddy, can you spare a dime?"

Forgetting someone from the past is completely forgetting what has been. The excerpt uses the metaphor of having a friend from the past that a person forgot already because the person has seen better opportunities or is higher up in the rank. Much the same as how the elite and the government treat those people who are part of the masses. </span>

Answer:

Ponyboy picks up the glass because he feels bad about breaking it. It's strange considering his previous actions. This action is a relief to Two-Bit because it shows that Ponyboy isn't completely hardened.

Are there different rights for citizens and noncitizens? Should there be?
inessss [21]

Answer:

im not sure if this is what you asked but hope it helps :)

Explanation:

Rights Reserved to Citizens

The Constitution reserves a few rights for citizens alone. Most notably, the Privileges and Immunities Clause of Article IV, Section 2, and the Privileges or Immunities Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment both protect the “privileges” and “immunities” of US citizens against various types of interference by state governments.

The Second and Ninth Amendments indicate that the rights they protect are those of “the people.” While the Supreme Court has never addressed this issue, lower courts have disagreed over whether “the people” entitled to the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms includes noncitizens, especially undocumented immigrants.

That a few constitutional rights may be specifically reserved to citizens underscores the broader principle that the vast majority are not. There would be no need to specify such a reservation if the Constitution had a default rule limiting rights to citizens.

In reality, the vast majority of rights outlined in the Constitution are phrased as general limitations on government power, not special protections for a specific class of people — be they citizens or some other group.
