Which lines in the Gettysburg Address talks about unjust laws?
is it a
"Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
Abraham Lincoln

RR and Rose are both correct btw. 100% thnx
To determine whether your answer is correct, let's analyze each option given and compare it to the content of the Gettysburg Address and "Letter from Birmingham Jail."
Option a: Comment on the tribulations faced by a nation at war.
While both texts touch on the theme of struggle, neither the Gettysburg Address nor "Letter from Birmingham Jail" specifically focuses on a nation at war. Therefore, this option is not correct.
Option b: Honor those who have fought for freedom.
While the Gettysburg Address does make reference to those who "gave their lives that that nation might live," it does not specifically focus on honoring those who fought for freedom. Likewise, "Letter from Birmingham Jail" does not directly discuss honoring individuals who fought for freedom. Therefore, this option is not accurate.
Option c: Demand the revision of the nation’s unjust laws.
"Letter from Birmingham Jail" is primarily focused on advocating for the revision of the nation's unjust laws. Martin Luther King Jr., the author of the letter, argues for the necessity of protesting and challenging unjust laws and practices. Therefore, this option is accurate.
Option d: Expound on the notion of tolerance for others.
While both texts touch on the themes of equality, justice, and fair treatment, they do not explicitly discuss the notion of tolerance for others. Therefore, this option is not correct.
Based on this analysis, your answer of c) demand the revision of the nation’s unjust laws is correct. Well done!
