Explanation:

The "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave" is a memoir and a slave narrative by the narrator and author, a former slave himself Frederick Douglass. In this narrative, he recounts his life from birth under the slavery system where he was witness to lots of abuses of the blacks by their white masters. In chapter II, he particularly recounts the level of brainwashing these slaves were under when he recounts the joy of those slaves who are asked to visit the Great House Farm. He likens them to the elected representatives of the US Congress who feel proud to be a member of the high office. There seems to be a level of importance that is with the sent slave, far above his fellow slaves. These are no better than the 'slaves' of the government that do the bidding of their 'masters'. They blindly assert self importance to their being, assuming themselves to be above the others.
