Which detail from The American Crisis develops the key idea that the failure to face challenges as they arise places the success
of future generations at risk?
a) "What signifies it to me, whether he who does it is a king or a common man; my countryman or not my countryman; whether it
be done by an individual villain, or an army of them?”
b) "If we reason to the root of things we shall find no difference; neither can any just cause be assigned why we should punish in
the one case and pardon in the other."
c) "The heart that feels not now is dead; the blood of his children will curse his cowardice, who shrinks back at a time when a little might have saved the whole, and made them happy."
d) "The far and the near, the home counties and the back, the rich and the poor, will suffer or rejoice alike."
