Answer: The American Ideals that are most represented by celebrating the life and dreams of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (also MLK Jr.) are equality for all and the use of nonviolent means of protest to move progressive ideas from dream to reality.

Dr. King used his life to inspire others to help move the Civil Rights movement in a positive direction and affect real change. The early part of the 20th century was still a very difficult time for African-Americans in the United States. There were still horrible events that occurred in the U.S., especially in the South, like lynchings - hanging people, specifically African-Americans as a form of local justice without due process or a court of law.

Dr. King was assassinated (or killed) in 1968. Dr. King represented freedom and equality to millions of Americans. The Civil Rights Movement in America continued forward and much social progress with regards to freedom and equality due to Dr. King's ideals and leadership during the 1950s and 1960s.

These ideals continue to be celebrated every MLK Jr. day, a day that his heirs have promoted as a part of social campaign to give back to local communities, not a day off of work or school, but a day to give back.

Answer:

it is B.

Explanation:

The Mayflower Compact of 1620:

was signed by men from one of the first groups of English colonists who came to America

set up a government and the first written laws for the new settlers arriving at Plymouth Colony (now the state of Massachusetts)

created laws for the "general good" (common good) of the settlement

included the idea of "will of the majority," where decisions are made based on what the majority of people agree to do

included the idea of the social contract where the settlers consented to follow the Compact's rules for the sake of the survival of the new colony

influenced Americans to think that British policies and laws harmed instead of supported the common good

influenced Americans to think that King George III, in their own time, was breaking the social contract where he was bound to protect their rights and provide security

was the foundation of the U.S. Constitution according to John Adams and other Founding Fathers

Big Idea: The Mayflower Compact is an example of self-government. The people would determine laws and government for themselves rather than an outside government doing it for them.
