By these words, which are part of Johathan's Swift's "A Modest Proposal" (1729), the author is referring to the claim to the throne of England, Ireland and Scotland by James Francis Edward Stuart, son of King James II. The latter was a Catholic King, who had already fathered a daughter named Mary; until James Francis Edward's birth, Mary, who had been raised as a Protestant, was the legitimate heiress to the English throne. James Francis Edward was a Catholic. The English Protestants were reluctant to have a Catholic king, as they did not wish to be under the political influence of the Pope. Therefore, they rebelled against James II, whom they overthrew. Mary and her husband William of Orange then became Protestant Queen and King of England, Ireland and Scotland. Ireland is the "home" to which Swift refers in this statement. Since the Irish were and are Catholic, they wished to help James Francis Edward Stuart regain his position as heir to the British, Irish and Scottish crown. Swift contrasts these irish men with those Protestants who would rather leave England than pay taxes to a Catholic king.
James Francis Edward's attempts to regain the crown were unsuccessful.

Answer: D. Jackson relies on long, flowing sentences, whereas Rutledge relies on short, direct sentences.
Explanation:
Andrew Jackson’s address to the Congress and Michael Rutledge’s “Samuel’s Memory” certainly differ in writing techniques and language use. In Jackson's speech, there are long sentences, which makes the speech convincing and helps him demonstrate his intelligence. However, Rutledge's sentences are often short, quite simple and straightforward.
“Quick, Policles, quick!” he cried. “My pony is tethered behind yonder grove. A grey he is, with red trappings. Get you gone as hard as hoof will bear you, for if you are taken you will have no easy death.”
“No easy death! What mean you, Metas? Who is the fellow?”
<span>“Great Jupiter! did you not know? Where have you lived? It is Nero the Emperor! Never would he pardon what you have said about his voice. Quick,
man, quick, or the guards will be at your heels!” - This was the
conversation of Policles and his friend, Metas of Corinth</span>
