Read this excerpt from “schenck v. u. s., 249 u. s. 47 (1919)" and answer the question that follows:
the document in question upon its first printed side recited the first section of the thirteenth amendment, said that the idea embodied in it was violated by the conscription act and that a conscript is little better than a convict. in impassioned language it intimated that conscription was despotism in its worst form and a monstrous wrong against humanity in the interest of wall street's chosen few. it said, 'do not submit to intimidation,' but in form at least confined itself to peaceful measures such as a petition for the repeal of the act. the other and later printed side of the sheet was headed 'assert your rights.' it stated reasons for alleging that any one violated the constitution when he refused to recognize 'your right to assert your opposition to the draft,' and went on, 'if you do not assert and support your rights, you are to deny or disparage rights which it is the solemn duty of all citizens and residents of the united states to retain.' it described the arguments on the other side as coming from cunning politicians and a mercenary capitalist press, and even silent consent to the conscription law as to support an infamous conspiracy.
according to the protest document, what violates the constitution?

Select the correct text in the passage. which two lines in this excerpt from shakespeare's romeo and juliet foreshadow the tragic fate of romeo and juliet? friar laurence: so smile the heavens upon this holy act, that after hours with sorrow chide us not! romeo: amen, amen! but come what sorrow can, it cannot countervail the exchange of joy that one short minute gives me in her sight: do thou but close our hands with holy words, then love-devouring death do what he dare; it is enough i may but call her mine. friar laurence: these violent delights have violent ends and in their triumph die, like fire and powder, which as they kiss consume: the sweetest honey is loathsome in his own deliciousness and in the taste confounds the appetite: therefore love moderately; long love doth so; too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.
