I'm going to say C because he told them what the constitution said. Even if they didn't want to listen. So, he had to allow it because there was nothing he could do at that point. I hope this is the correct answer.
Answer:
This is an excerpt from<em> "O Captain! My Captain!",</em> a poem written by Walt Whitman. In this poem, Whitman addresses the death of Abraham Lincoln. The speaker of the poem is a sailor who is talking to his captain. This is, clearly, a metaphor for Whitman's conversation with the late Lincoln. The captain represents the president, while the ship represents the United States of America. The sailor refers to 'captain' as his father, which demonstrates Whitman's respect for Lincoln. The trip mentioned in the poem represents the Civil war. Although the poet expresses his relief that the war is over, the tone of the poem is dark. At the beginning of the poem, Whitman writes that<em> "our fearful trip is done" </em>and<em> "the prize we sought is won"</em>, but the mood is quickly changed with the line<em> "You've fallen cold and dead" , </em>which symbolizes Whitman's sadness and grief over Lincoln's death.
Well, using my limited knowledge, "cleaving" means to chop, break in half, split, etc. Twain means twice. So, perhaps it's like "you've broke my heart in half", something along those lines? hopefully this helps you.
