Slavery is often termed "the peculiar institution," but it was hardly peculiar to the United States. Almost every society in the history of the world has experienced slavery at one time or another. The aborigines of Australia are about the only group that has so far not revealed a past mired in slavery—and perhaps the omission has more to do with the paucity of the evidence than anything else. To explore American slavery in its full international context, then, is essentially to tell the history of the globe. That task is not possible in the available space, so this essay will explore some key antecedents of slavery in North America and attempt to show what is distinctive or unusual about its development. The aim is to strike a balance between identifying continuities in the institution of slavery over time while also locating significant changes. The trick is to suggest preconditions, anticipations, and connections without implying that they were necessarily determinations (1).

Sparta and Athens had very different governments. Sparta was a militaristic state. This means that all decisions made by the government revolved around the wants and needs of the military. This resulted in Sparta developing one of the strongest armies in the world during this era.

Explanation:
On April 4, 1968, Martin Luther King was assassinated and Senator Robert F. Kennedy had given a speech. These lines are taken from that speech where he's giving a choice to the people to create the kind of future they want for their country. Whether it is the desire for revenge or whether it is to make the effort like Luther and understand with compassion and love. He also talks about the effects of violence on the country and largely on the people. He encourages the people to create a United States filled with love and wisdom, and compassion towards one another and not division, hatred or violence. These are the reasons why the 2nd and the 4th options give a clear idea about the speaker's words.
