Which excerpt from the passage "Equal Justice Under Law" most effectively illustrates Thurgood Marshall's natural tendency to resist authority? "If he wasn’t throwing chalk or teasing girls, he was arguing with teachers."

"So, one day, the principal sent him to the basement with a copy of the United States Constitution and stern orders not to come back up till he had memorized a passage."

"'Before I left that school,” Marshall said many years later, 'I knew the whole thing by heart.'"

"Parts of the Constitution, however, confused the young Marshall."

"In London, he trained to become a lawyer."

"He was appalled to find that in some parts of South Africa, Indians were not allowed to vote or to own more than a certain amount of property."

"He stopped wearing Western clothes, learned to spin cloth, and wore only a cotton shawl and dhoti, a kind of loincloth, which had been spun by Indian hands."

"In the United States, the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., once said that Gandhi’s words and actions showed him how to use nonviolence to lead the civil rights movement in the 1960s."
