Read the passage from a speech given by the Athenian leader Pericles. Our constitution does not copy the laws of neighboring sta

tes; we are rather a pattern to be imitated than imitators ourselves. Its administration favors the many instead of the few; this is why it is called democracy. If we look to the laws, they afford equal justice to all in their private differences. . . . [C]lass considerations [are not] allowed to interfere with merit; nor again does poverty bar the way, if a man is able to serve the state, he is not hindered by the obscurity of his condition. Pericles claimed that the Athenian government, unlike other Greek city-states, favored its wealthy citizens. kept poor people from serving the state. imitated the laws of its neighbors. treated all its people fairly regardless of class.

What Pericles says in this speech is that a pattern of a constitution that does not imitate anyone is created, which means that it excludes the third option offered. It is further stressed that everyone, regardless of class or property, has the rights to equal justice, nor does the class decide on merit, to anyone capable of serving the state, thus excluding the first and second option.

The correct option is the fourth, because this constitution treats all citizens fairly, favors many instead of a few, and therefore is called democracy.

How was the addition of Oregon to the United States an example of the idea of Manifest Destiny?​
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:Manifest Destiny, in U.S. history, the supposed inevitability of the continued territorial expansion of the boundaries of the United States westward to the Pacific and beyond. Before the American Civil War (1861–65), the idea of Manifest Destiny was used to validate continental acquisitions in the Oregon Country, Texas, New Mexico, and California. The purchase of Alaska after the Civil War briefly revived the concept of Manifest Destiny, but it most evidently became a renewed force in U.S. foreign policy in the 1890s, when the country went to war with Spain, annexed Hawaii, and laid plans for an isthmian canal across Central America.
