Explanation:

1. Analyze Option 1: The excerpt focuses on upholding the Constitution, not changing it. Eliminate.
2. Analyze Option 2: The excerpt is about the governor following the law, not the Supreme Court's role in determining law fairness. Eliminate.
3. Analyze Option 3: There's no indication of the president admiring Governor Faubus; the focus is on compliance with the law. Eliminate.

D. The governor is expected to follow the law
