C. People are more powerful when they work together

Explanation:

In the story of “Hiawatha the unifier” ,Hiawatha was the human form of Ta-ren-ya-wa-gon who was the Upholder of Heaven. He saved the ancestors of the Native Americans from monsters and nourished them until a time came when he separated them into different villages giving them various unique gifts to help them.

Not long after however, the villages were attached by other tribes who did not know the good morals that Hiawatha had taught the people and the people in fear looked up to Hiawatha.

He met them and told them that they were being defeated because they had abandoned each other and had let differences separate them. He employed them to unite as one and to use their various talents for the benefit of the union instead of those talents dividing them. When they did so he told them that they would now defeat the enemy.

The message therefore is that People are more powerful when they work together.

the correct answer is option d. the nature of democracy. on november 19, 1863, president abraham lincoln delivered his famous gettysburg address in gettysburg, pennsylvania. in his speech, rather than focusing on details of the war (soldiers, casualties, aftermath of battle), lincoln invoked the very nature of democracy, that power ultimately comes from the people, when stating, “government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish”. these words mean that democracy is a government by the people (citizens) in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by the people or by their elected representatives for the benefit of all citizens. the survival of democracy in the united states is one of the reasons why this speech so significant today.
