Answer:

Martin Luther King Jr. frequently looked up inspiration from Biblical sources, ancient philosophers and theologians.

In his "Letter from a Birmingham Jail", Martin Luther King Jr. resort to Socrates to highlight his practice of a fair form of civil disobedience and non violence, as a symbol or analogy to back up his interjection outlining the urge of awakening from the "dark depths of prejudice and racism" of society at that time.

In the letter, MLK Jr. outlines that "Socrates felt that it was necessary to create a tension in the mind", so individuals could rise from darkness; and he felt the same kind of tension was necessary at that time so that society could rise from the darkness of prejudice to a place of "understanding and brotherhood".

Alisiya [41]
2) <span>The Anti-federalists demanded more written protection than the Federalists did for individual rights.
In order to get 9/13 states to ratify the Constitution, the Federalists had to appease the Anti-Federalists, who were concerned that  a strong national government would take away the people's rights.
Note: Anti-Federalists supported the Articles of Confederation more, as the power rested in the state governments.
3) </span><span>Therefore, each branch of the central government will have the power to check the power of the other branches.
This is the only correct answer as the concern at that time was that the national government would have too much power.
4) </span><span>refer to people electing leaders to make government decisions 
This is the only answer that makes sense.
A representative democracy is one in which the people elect representatives to make decisions for them.</span>
