<u>Explanation:</u>
The Little Rock Nine was a group of African American students who on September 4, 1957 went to class at Little Rock Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, and were detained by the National Guard. This episode is considered one of the most important events of the Civil Rights Movement in the United States.
The United States had for years a segregated educational system for African-Americans, and a much better and efficient one for whites. In 1954, the Supreme Court of the United States (Brown v. Board of Education) unanimously declared that segregation in public schools was unconstitutional.
The Little Rock crisis, followed closely by the press, showed how the nine black students who decided to attend classes were initially prevented from entering school by order of the Arkansas governor, Orval Faubus. Later they were followed by crowds under threats of lynching. They were finally able to attend after the intervention of President Eisenhower, who sent the Army Division 101, putting the Arkansas Military Guard under federal military command.
Answer:
The best answer for the question: What is the denotation of the word "bound" in this excerpt, would be, A: trapped.
Explanation:
Trapped is defined as being held, or captured, restrained or entrapped by something or someone. Essentially, it means that a person´s, or something, freedom, is limited due to something tying it, or them, down. When the speaker in this excerpt says that "Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right (not only to TAX) but "to BIND us in ALL CASES WHATSOEVER", he is making allusion to the fact that binding, or being bound, is like talking about being limited, withheld from their right to be free and to choose their own fates and the way they are governed. Because he uses the word "bound" as a form to talk about limitations, and being held back, especially from freedom, and then makes allusion to this being equal to slavery, then the best option to choose from to answer the question would be A: trapped, which essentially presents the same idea as "bound" would.
