17. Which quotation contains details which reveal the particular beliefs, values, or customs of a
particular time period?
(2 Points)
A. "It may be said that it does not go far enough, though it will not be easy to make this appear; but it can
with no propriety be contended that there is no such thing."
B. "In this overturn of all individual governments, in this new-fashioned set of ideas, and in this total derelic-
tion of those sentiments which animated us in 1775, the Political Salvation of the United States may be very
deeply interested, but BE CAUTIOUS."
C. "The skeleton of it may remain, but its vital principle shall be transferred to the new Government: Nay,
you must go still further, and agree to invest the new Congress with powers, which you have yet thought
proper to withhold from your own present Government."
D. "There remains but one other view of this matter to conclude the point. The truth is, after all the decla-
mations we have heard, that the Constitution is itself, in every rational sense, and to every useful purpose, A
BILL OF RIGHTS."
