(D.)
I'm not completely sure on this. There was a variety of factors, but I think your best answer here would be "ASL being simplified and making it easier to learn and teach." However, the answer could also be "A change in social climate that was more accepting of differences in people."
During the time, there was a slight shift in social acceptance, but it would, in my mind, make more sense for the other choice to be true, I only hesitate on this because there were slight developments in spelling ASL that allowed easier teacher, child, and parent communication through the use of spelling in sign, though ASL itself did not undergo major reconstruction, but rather had additions made to it

<span>As we celebrate the 272nd birthday of Thomas Jefferson, this <span>excerpt from Jeffrey Rosen and David Rubenstein's pamphlet about the “Constituting Liberty” exhibition </span>puts the Declaration of Independence in context.</span>
When the Second Continental Congress convened in Philadelphia in 1775, it was far from clear that the delegates would pass a resolution to separate from Great Britain. To persuade them, someone needed to articulate why the Americans were breaking away. Congress formed a committee to do just that; members included John Adams from Massachusetts, Benjamin Franklin from Pennsylvania, Roger Sherman from Connecticut, Roger Livingston from New York, and Thomas Jefferson from Virginia, who at age 33 was one of the youngest delegates.
Although Jefferson disputed his account, John Adams later recalled that he had persuaded Jefferson to write the draft because Jefferson had the fewest enemies in Congress and was the best writer. (Jefferson would have gotten the job anyway—he was elected chair of the committee.) Jefferson had 17 days to produce the document and reportedly wrote a draft in a day or two. In a rented room not far from the State House, he wrote the Declaration with few books and pamphlets beside him, except for a copy of George Mason’s Virginia Declaration of Rights and the draft Virginia Constitution, which Jefferson had written himself.
The Declaration of Independence has three parts. It has a preamble, which later became the most famous part of the document but at the time was largely ignored. It has a second part that lists the sins of the King of Great Britain, and it has a third part that declares independence from Britain and that all political connections between the British Crown and the “Free and Independent States” of America should be totally dissolved.
The preamble to the Declaration of Independence contains the entire theory of American government in a single, inspiring passage:
