Question

part a
in stating his position in passage 1, roosevelt claims that \our national policy in internal affairs has been based upon a decent respect for the rights and the dignity of all our fellow men within our gates.\ (paragraph 1)
twenty - three years later, how does johnson address the same claim in passage 2?
a he agrees that americans are law - abiding
b he notes that men have died to preserve freedoms.
c he refuses to be intimidated by those who oppose freedom.
d he states that equality before the law is not applied to all citizens.

Explanation:

Roosevelt claims national policy respects rights and dignity. Johnson's likely response would be related to whether this is actually the case. Option D addresses the idea that equality (related to rights and dignity) is not applied to all citizens, which is a relevant counter - or different take on Roosevelt's claim. The other options (A about law - abiding, B about men dying for freedoms, C about not being intimidated) are not directly related to the claim about rights and dignity in internal affairs.

Answer:

D. He states that equality before the law is not applied to all citizens
