It implies that Justice John Marshall cracked the bell.
The Liberty Bell is a national symbol that is located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The bell was made in London in 1752 and placed in the Pennsylvania State House
(now called Independence Hall). The bell first became associated with liberty after
writer George Lippard wrote a story in which a bell was rung after the Declaration of
Independence was signed. President Franklin Pierce called the bell a symbol of
American liberty and the American Revolution.
Though it symbolized liberty, the bell also served as a reminder that many people
were actually enslaved. The Liberty Bell got its name from early abolitionists who
adopted it as their symbol. The abolitionists pointed out that though part of the bell's
inscription says "Proclaim Liberty," not all the people throughout the land were
liberated.
When the bell was rung for the first time after it arrived in Philadelphia, it cracked.
The bell's crack has been repaired twice. One story says that it cracked when it rang
after the death of Chief Supreme Court Justice John Marshall in 1835. Another said
the bell was cracked during one of its traveling exhibitions. Whatever its origin, the
crack is said to add to the bell's character, so it has not been repaired again.

to eliminate ambiguous remote or broad reference it is necessary to focus on anaphoric reference. by definition "anaphoric reference means that a word in a text refers back to other ideas in the text for its meaning." the references should be clear and leave no room for ambiguity.

in the first case the pronoun it probably refers to the car but it has not been mentioned before so we should replace it for the car. in doing so the statement becomes clear.

in sentence number   two   the pronoun he refers to charles dickens the author. yet, the first half of the sentence is about the book a tale of two cities. to repair this it would be better to rephrase the first half : after i read   a tale of two cities by dickens, he so as to remove the remote reference.
