Passage
Imagine a 6-mile-wide solar-power satellite orbiting 22,000 miles in space, with photo-sensitive panels that
can collect enough light from the Sun to power a large city. It may sound like science fiction, but a
government study group recently issued a report stating that space-based solar power is feasible--and
international scientists are already developing prototypes. The price tag is daunting, but nations that are
able to harness the potential of satellite solar power will enjoy tremendous benefits. This is one space race
the United States can't afford to lose

Read the excerpt from the declaration of independence. nor have we been wanting in attention to our brittish brethren. we have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. we have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. we have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. they too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. what is the author’s purpose in this excerpt? to inform readers about british immigration to the colonies to convince readers that britain has treated the colonists unfairly to inform readers about specific acts of british military aggression to convince readers that american colonists should be tried in britain
