Read the following excerpt from jackie robinson’s letter to president eisenhower. as the chief executive of our nation, i respectfully suggest that you unwittingly crush the spirit of freedom in negroes by constantly urging forbearance and give hope to those pro-segregation leaders like governor faubus who would take from us even those freedoms we now enjoy. your own experience with governor faubus is proof enough that forbearance and not eventual integration is the goal the pro-segregation leaders seek. to which specific historic event is jackie robinson referring to in the letter? a. president eisenhower’s argument over civil rights with arkansas governor faubus at the summit meeting of negro leaders the day before this letter was written b. the riots of harlem, which broke out in response to african americans’ frustration at job discrimination, police brutality, poor treatment by the armed forces, and lack of access to economic opportunities c. governor faubus’s calling of the arkansas national guard to prevent nine african american students from entering little rock central high school, despite the us supreme court’s ruling against segregation d. the rumored fatal shooting in august 1943 of a white soldier, which culminated in race rioting across the nation

Read this paragraph from chapter 5 of the prince. there are, for example, the spartans and the romans. the spartans held athens and thebes, establishing there an oligarchy: nevertheless they lost them. the romans, in order to hold capua, carthage, and numantia, dismantled them, and did not lose them. they wished to hold greece as the spartans held it, making it free and permitting its laws, and did not succeed. so to hold it they were compelled to dismantle many cities in the country, for in truth there is no safe way to retain them otherwise than by ruining them. and he who becomes master of a city accustomed to freedom and does not destroy it, may expect to be destroyed by it, for in rebellion it has always the watchword of liberty and its ancient privileges as a rallying point, which neither time nor benefits will ever cause it to forget. and whatever you may do or provide against, they never forget that name or their privileges unless they are disunited or dispersed, but at every chance they immediately rally to them, as pisa after the hundred years she had been held in bondage by the florentines. what idea is stressed in the passage? the desire for liberty the establishment of an oligarchy the dismantling of an acquired state the tendency toward rebellion
