<span>For all men being originally equals, no one by birth could have a right to set up his own family in perpetual preference to all others for ever, and tho' himself might deserve some decent degree of honors of his contemporaries, yet his descendants might be far too unworthy to inherit them.' Basically, descendants have the right to raise their own family as they see fit.</span>
Correct answer: C. The start of the Russian Revolution
Detail: The USA declared war in April, 1917. There was some revolution activity in Russian the spring of 1917, but the main "Russian Revolution" as led by the Bolsheviks started in October, 1917.
Context:
Public outrage in the US against the Germans swept the nation following the sinking of the British ocean liner, Lusitania -- but that happened before 1917. When a German U-boat (submarine) sank the Lusitania in May, 1915, over 1,000 persons were killed, including more than 100 Americans. The passenger liner was targeted by the Germans because they suspected weapons were being shipped to Britain in the cargo hold of the ship.
Germany managed to stave off American entry into the war at the time by pledging to stop submarine attacks. But a couple years later they resumed such attacks, and there was also an intercepted telegram (the "Zimmerman Telegram") that showed Germany was trying to secure Mexico as an ally against the United States.
In 1917, the US declared war on Germany in response.
