Answer: b. He wanted to remind people about what the nation’s founding ideals were.

Explanation:

This question relates to the "Gettysburg Address" which was one of the most popular speeches given by President Lincoln. He gave it at the occasion of the opening ceremony of the Gettysburg cemetery for Union soldiers.

President Lincoln began by referencing the founding of the nation because he wanted to encourage the Union that the fight they were in was a just one by reminding them of the nation's founding principles which called for liberty and freedom for all men and that in fighting for the end of slavery, they were merely following those ideals.

How did the election of Marius as a consul reflect a change in Rome's government.
ipn [44]
Marius's election as a consul  made the most sweeping changes to the Roman army. They were known as the Marian Reforms. Shortly after his election, he increased the numbers of the active army as he was concerned about a Barbarian invasion. Marius relaxed the strict recruitment policies. Until then, a Roman soldier had to provide his own uniform and weapons, own land and be of a certain social class and a Roman citizen. Marius allowed all Roman citizens to join the army irrespective of what social class they were. They also did not have to own land.
