Answer: B. Leading the support for the Bill of Rights.

Explanation:

George Mason was part of a committee working on a constitution for the state of Virginia in 1776, and authored a Declaration of Rights to be included in that Constitution. The Virginia Declaration of Rights, authored by Mason, became the basis for the Bill of Rights that later became part of the United States Constitution.

In September, 1787, Mason was part of the Constitutional Convention for the United States held in Philadelphia. As reported by the <em>Smithsonian Magazine </em>(April 30, 2000), "Toward the end of the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, Mason proposed that a bill of rights preface the Constitution, but his proposal was defeated. When he refused to sign the new Constitution, his decision baffled some and alienated others, including his old friend, George Washington. Mason's stand nonetheless had its effect. At the first session of the first Congress, Madison introduced a Bill of Rights that paralleled Mason's Declaration of Rights of 1776. "

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The correct answer is "to contrast the different living conditions for the middle and working classes."

The purpose of this source is " to contrast the different living conditions for the middle and working classes."

That is the purpose of the excerpt when it describes the following: "Middle-class professionals found it easy to get from their homes outside the city to their jobs, and back home at the end of the day. Not everyone was fortunate enough to live outside the city. Working-class immigrant families lived in the poorest parts of the city in tenement buildings.

It is true to say that tej Industrial Revolution changed people's for good or for bad.

People who lived in the rural areas of the country decided to move to the larger cities, where the big industries and factories were located. These fabrics offered jobs, although low-paid jobs to operate the machines in the factories. That attracted many people, including immigrants.

These immigrants were poor citizens from the rural areas who had to live in overcrowded spaces. These were small and unhealthy places with no ventilation, where the spread of disease was a major risk. Poverty and crime were also a consequence of this situation.
