Question

refer to explorations in literature for a complete version of this speech
which evidence from \the american promise\ is sufficient to prove lyndon b. johnsons argument that we must fight to ensure that all americans have the right to vote?

\the constitution says that no person shall be kept from voting because of his race or his color
we must now act in obedience to that oath.\

\somehow you never forget what poverty and hatred can do when you see its scars on the
hopeful face of a young child.\

\for with a country as with a person, what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world,
and lose his own soul?\

\for the fact is that the only way to pass these barriers is to show a white skin.\

Explanation:

To determine the correct evidence, we analyze each option:

• The first option cites the Constitution's statement about not denying voting rights based on race/color and the need to act on that oath. This directly relates to ensuring all Americans (regardless of race/color) have the right to vote, supporting LBJ's argument.
• The second option is about poverty and hatred's impact on children, irrelevant to voting rights.
• The third option is a philosophical quote about gaining the world and losing one's soul, not related to voting.
• The fourth option describes a barrier (needing white skin) but doesn't provide a reason to fight for all to vote; it just states the problem, while the first option gives a constitutional basis and a call to act.

Answer:

A. "The Constitution says that no person shall be kept from voting because of his race or his color We must now act in obedience to that oath."
