What is the significance of making people barons and dukes in harrison bergeron

The significance of "making people barons and dukes and earls" means that if people will be able to free themselves from their handicaps, they will be rewarded with a brighter future and a greater freedom.

Explanation:

The question above is related to the story entitled "Harrison Bergeron." The story focuses on the "equality" of humans in the year 2081. The equality being mentioned here is literal equality, which means no one should be above than the other even when it comes to intelligence. George was more intelligent than his age that he was given a mental handicap radio in his ear so the government can control him and stay attuned to what he's thinking.

Harrison Bergeron was a "wanted man" who recently escaped from prison. He wanted to overthrow the government because for him people should be free from the straps of handicaps that are being attached to them. For him, people should be free to do what they want and harness their potentials to the best of their ability. This was the freedom he was referring to and showing to people.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
