Explanation:

Answer 2

The correct answer is B. Patrick Henry's "Give me liberty, or give me death". This is a quotation credited to Patrick Henry from a speech he made to the Second Virginia Convention on March 23, 1775, at St. John's Church in Richmond, Virginia. He is credited with having swung the stability in convincing the convention to pass a resolution delivering Virginian troops for the Revolutionary War. Among the delegates to the convention were future U.S. Presidents Thomas Jefferson and George Washington. No matter what the precise words of Henry were, there can be no hesitation of their impact. According to Edmund Randolph, the gathering sat in silence for several minutes afterwards. Thomas Marshall told his son John Marshall, who later became Chief Justice of the United States, which the speech was one of the bravest, passionate, and vigorous pieces of eloquence that had ever been conveyed.
