The King's family saved his life and spared him the death penalty.
Alberta Williams King, the mother of Martin Luther King, Jr. was shot and killed during a church service by Marcus Wayne Chenault six years after the association of her son (1974). She was 69 years old.
Her killer was a 23-year-old, college drop-out, black man from Ohio. He stated that he shot Mrs. King because she was a Christian and all Christians 'were his enemies'. His original target was Martin Luther King Sr., but he aimed at his wife because she was seated closer to him.
Chenault was sentenced to death but it was because of the King's family that his life was spared. The Kings are firmly opposed to the death penalty so they pushed for his sentence to be changed into life in prison. Chanault died in prison some years later after suffering a stroke.

Answer:
An idea that would most likely be held by a member of the Democratic Party would be that the government should help make the economic system more fair.
Explanation:
In the 21st century, the dominant ideology within the Democratic Party is modern liberalism, progressive liberalism with support for a welfare state and a mixed economy.
Democratic voters defend the supervision of the economy by the government, so that it can remedy the mistakes caused by the market and thus avoid any kind of damage that can be caused to society. For this, the government must collect more taxes, which is seen as something logical and positive by Democratic voters. It is, in short, a much more progressive political platform than that of the Republican Party.
In turn, this political group prefers that the United States maintain non-interventionist international policies, but rather collaborative relations with different international organizations in political matters.
