Read the excerpt from dr. martin luther king jr's "i have a dream" speech.
[1] i am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.
[2] five score years ago, a great american, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the emancipation proclamation. this momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. it came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.
[3] but one hundred years later, the negro still is not free; one hundred years later, the life of the negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination; one hundred years later, the negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity; one hundred years later, the negro is still languished in the corners of american society and finds himself in exile in his own land.
[4] so we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition. in a sense we've come to our nation's capital to cash a check. when the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the constitution and the declaration of independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every american was to fall heir. this note was the promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
which word provides the best context clue to determine the meaning of "unalienable" in paragraph 4?
shameful
architects
promise
guaranteed

Read this paragraph from chapter 5 of the prince. there are, for example, the spartans and the romans. the spartans held athens and thebes, establishing there an oligarchy: nevertheless they lost them. the romans, in order to hold capua, carthage, and numantia, dismantled them, and did not lose them. they wished to hold greece as the spartans held it, making it free and permitting its laws, and did not succeed. so to hold it they were compelled to dismantle many cities in the country, for in truth there is no safe way to retain them otherwise than by ruining them. and he who becomes master of a city accustomed to freedom and does not destroy it, may expect to be destroyed by it, for in rebellion it has always the watchword of liberty and its ancient privileges as a rallying point, which neither time nor benefits will ever cause it to forget. and whatever you may do or provide against, they never forget that name or their privileges unless they are disunited or dispersed, but at every chance they immediately rally to them, as pisa after the hundred years she had been held in bondage by the florentines. what idea is stressed in the passage? the desire for liberty the establishment of an oligarchy the dismantling of an acquired state the tendency toward rebellion
