Read the excerpt from "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” Are the great principles of political freedom and of natural ju

The correct answer is B.

The rethorical question used in this excerpt from the speech "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” given by Frederick Douglass in 1852 serves to show African Americans how they are being denied the righ embodied in the Declaration of Independece.

It seeks to create awareness that, even though the Declaration of Independence declares that the rights should be applied to all, it is only the White Americans who enjoy and can fully enforce them.

People became self-centered and uncaring. Urbanization gave birth to an increase in the slum in the cities.
