With which of the following statements about our society would Vonnegut most likely agree? a. “Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost
always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority: still more when
you superadd the tendency or the certainty of corruption by authority.”
Lord Acton
b. “A people that values it's privileges above its principles soon loses both.”
Dwight D. Eisenhower
c. “I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than
those attending too small a degree of it.”
Thomas Jefferson
d. “Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character,
give him power.”
Abraham Lincoln
