Answer:
O B. a ruler denying citizens their rights
Explanation:
According to the Declaration of Independence, when a ruler denies citizens any rights, this ruler is encouraging an open rebellion against the government, as all citizens must fight for their rights to be guaranteed, no matter the situation. This argument was the justification used by the American colonies to combat the British government, since American colonists believed that the management of England limited and denied the rights of American citizens and therefore should be combated.

President Roosevelt was born during the Industrial Revolution where everything from the workforce to travel is transitioning from manual to mechanical. Railroads were the epitome result of Industrial Revolution. It erased the separation of countries due to its distances, paving way for new commerce. It made towns along the railway thrive. However, it also meant that those who had the control of the railway system can have the control of the land. Roosevelt was instrumental in stopping wealthy railroad owners from taking control of the American West when he implemented the Sherman Anti-Trust Law.
