Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

I think Americans value the ideas of liberty, equality, and justice by Martin Luther King's "Letter from a Birmingham Jail," because are the same values expressed by the United States founding fathers when they founded the new country and created the new Constitution during the Constitutional Convention of 1787, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

As Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. advanced as the leader of the civil rights movement in the 1960s, people admired and respected him for using a non-violent approach to protest and organize his demonstrations.

Dr. King was sent to jail in the city of Birmingham Alabama in April 1963, after organizing a march to protest. The problem was that he had no permission to conduct the march and that is why the Birmingham police arrested him. That is when he wrote the famous "Letter from a Birmingham Jail."
