Which historical allusions did president john f. kennedy make in his inaugural address? select all that apply

the civil war
the american revolution
the discovery of america
the declaration of independence

The correct answers are: the American Revolution and the Declaration of Independence.

Indeed, Kennedy mentions “the same solemn oath our forbears prescribed nearly a century and three-quarters ago”, and that oath is the Declaration of Independence, as it is confirmed by the following lines: “the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God.”

The American Revolution is mentioned twice: “the same revolutionary beliefs” and we are the heirs of that first revolution.

The correct answers are: THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION, he said: And yet, the revolutionary convictions for which our ancestors fought continue to be debated throughout the earth. Let's not forget today that we are heirs of that first revolution. THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE, John F. Kennedy said in this regard: Let friends and enemies know from here and now alike, that the torch has passed into the hands of a new generation of Americans, unwilling to witness or allow the slow disintegration of human rights. THE DISCOVERY OF AMERICA, the president-elect said: Let us explore the stars together, conquer the deserts, extirpate the diseases, take advantage of the depths of the sea and stimulate the arts and trade.
