Answer:
The sacred rights of mankind are not to be
rummaged for, among old parchments, or musty
records. They are written, as with a sun beam
in the whole volume of human nature, by the
hand of the divinity itself; and can never be
erased or obscured by mortal power.”
— Alexander Hamilton, 1775
“The basis of our political systems is the
right of the people to make and to alter
their Constitutions of Government. But the
Constitution which at any time exists, ‘till
changed by an explicit and authentic act of the
whole People is sacredly obligatory upon all.”
— George Washington, 1796
“The Declaration of Independence...[is the]
declaratory charter of our rights, and of the
rights of man.”
— Thomas Jefferson, 1819
Message fromthe Director
The Declaration of Independence and the
Constitution of the United States are the two most
important, and enduring documents in our Nation’s
history. It has been said that “the Declaration of
Independence was the promise; the Constitution
was the fulfillment.”
More than 200 years ago, our Founding
Fathers set out to establish a government based
on individual rights and the rule of law. The
Declaration of Independence, which officially
broke all political ties between the American
colonies and Great Britain, set forth the ideas and
principles behind a just and fair government, and
the Constitution outlined how this government
would function. Our founding documents have
withstood the test of time, rising to the challenge
each time they were called upon.
Make no mistake, we have been presented with
a timeless framework for self-government, but in
order to preserve this wonderful gift, we must hold
these principles close to our hearts. I encourage you
to read and understand these documents. I promise
you will be nothing short of inspired.

How did the gilded age wealthy class ( captains of industry) exploit the poor and immigrant class of workers for their benefits and profit?
Answer: There was a time in U.S. history when the business magnates and titans of industry boasted more wealth than even today’s top technology innovators and visionaries.
During America’s Gilded Age — which spanned most of the latter half of the 19th century, from around 1870 to 1900 — the inflation-adjusted wealth and impact of America’s most towering figures far overshadowed what we see today.
The wealth of people like John D. Rockefeller, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Henry Ford, and Andrew Carnegie would by today’s standards be measured in the hundreds of billions of dollars — far more than tech giants like Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and even Jeff Bezos, the wealthiest individual in the world as of 2019.
Wealth so vast can often highlight the financial inequality of an era. It’s this idea of grandeur in the face of unresolved social concerns that led Mark Twain to coin the phrase “Gilded Age” in his 1873 novel The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today. The title suggested that the thin veneer of wealth for the elite masked broader issues for many in the lower and middle classes.
But the progress made in the United States during the Gilded Age can’t be denied. As part of the Second Industrial Revolution, the country underwent an impressive economic expansion — led by the day’s larger-than-life figures of wealth and power. Much of this growth was courtesy of railroads — which now spanned from coast to coast — as well as factories, steel, and the coal mining industry.
Big business boomed, with technology such as typewriters, cash registers, and adding machines helping to transform how people worked. And the economic explosion included not only industrial growth, but also a growth in agricultural technology such as mechanical reapers.
In a time of such great expansion and fewer regulations surrounding wealth and business practices, circumstances were perfect for the rise of a class of extremely wealthy individuals who made up a very small percentage of society. They had the power and means to create opportunities and jobs for the many, though with less social prioritization on workers’ rights, issues like discrimination, exploitation, and low wages marked the era.
Still, it’s impossible to overstate the impact these individuals had on America’s development. With technology booming and immigrants flocking to the United States seeking better opportunities for themselves and their families, they left their mark on the United States — and on history.

What was the situation on the Eastern Front in 1915?1915 The Russian 10th Army is successfully engaged in battle by the German 8th and 10th Armies on the Eastern Front in Europe from February 7–22, forcing the Russians eastward into the Augustow Forest, where they are completely defeated.
The Eastern Front, which ran from the Baltic Sea in the north to the Black Sea in the south, was more than twice as long as the Western Front. The fighting was more fluid than it was in the west because of the greater separations between the forces and the greater differences in their level of equipment.
The Eastern Front is best known for the protracted Leningrad Siege and the horrific Battle of Stalingrad.
Thus, option B is correct.
