Which historical allusions did president john f. kennedy make in his inaugural address? select all that apply

the civil war
the american revolution
the discovery of america
the declaration of independence

The correct answers are: the American Revolution and the Declaration of Independence.

Indeed, Kennedy mentions “the same solemn oath our forbears prescribed nearly a century and three-quarters ago”, and that oath is the Declaration of Independence, as it is confirmed by the following lines: “the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God.”

The American Revolution is mentioned twice: “the same revolutionary beliefs” and we are the heirs of that first revolution.

The correct answers are: THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION, he said: And yet, the revolutionary convictions for which our ancestors fought continue to be debated throughout the earth. Let's not forget today that we are heirs of that first revolution. THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE, John F. Kennedy said in this regard: Let friends and enemies know from here and now alike, that the torch has passed into the hands of a new generation of Americans, unwilling to witness or allow the slow disintegration of human rights. THE DISCOVERY OF AMERICA, the president-elect said: Let us explore the stars together, conquer the deserts, extirpate the diseases, take advantage of the depths of the sea and stimulate the arts and trade.  

explanation:

the intellectual community is a place like a university where people with high marks, or original thought or an outstanding interest in something gather. they take classes together. they discuss things. they argue sometimes, and not always in a friendly way. but if they argue, it is because they are passionate about something, and there is nothing the matter with that.

lately i've been hearing rumors that it is not the way it was when i went to school. the one thing all schools used to have was free speech. the 1st amendment rights were sacred. now i'm hearing they are not. students can be reported and disciplined for giving an off the wall opinion.

that is shameful.

intellectual ideas are meant to be discussed. they are meant to be chewed up and worked on. that is the primary responsibility of every intellectual community. if that is not the way it is, then that is not a school to go to.

social media, in my opinion, and this is just an opinion. i wouldn't take it too seriously, complicates everything to do with human communication. you can want to share things and others feel they have the right to be very critical or sarcastic or mean about what you share. lack of respect is an immeasurable intolerable condition and social media abounds with that sort of thing.

one of the things i really like about is how careful people are because they must have some idea that the mods are exactly what the word says they are. they police this board very well, and what is so remarkable about them is that they are no older than the average grade 12 student.

my hat goes off to them (which means i respect them quite a bit).
