The basic message all through the short story "Harrison Bergeron" concerns the perils of complete equality. In Vonnegut's tragic America, the administration has altered the Constitution to make each resident totally equivalent in for all intents and purposes each part of life.

3. philosophical.
Explanation:
The passage is questioning the very nature of man - our capacity to be both good and evil, vile and noble. The beginning of the passage itself presents a philosophical question: "Was man, indeed, at once so powerful, so virtuous and magnificent yet so vicious and base?" Philosophy has as its purpose the questioning of our assumptions and understandings concerning different topics - for instance life, morals, behavior, meanings, etc. A passage that questions human nature seems, therefore, to be a philosophical passage.
