Read the excerpt from President Woodrow Wilson’s speech “The Meaning of Liberty.”

My dream is that as the years go on and the world knows more and more of America it will also drink at these fountains of youth and renewal; that it also will turn to America for those moral inspirations which lie at the basis of all freedom; that the world will never fear America unless it feels that it is engaged in some enterprise which is inconsistent with the rights of humanity; and that America will come into the full light of the day when all shall know that she puts human rights above all other rights and that her flag is the flag not only of America but of humanity.

Which option most accurately explains how Wilson supports the theme that American ideals can be a unique force for human rights in the world?

A.) He explains that, if there were a declaration of rights for all of humanity, it would be modeled on the Declaration of Independence because America’s founding ideals are based on the highest level of morality.
B.) He explains that, if the world knew more of America’s character as a protector of rights, it would no longer fear America.
C.) He explains that America is following in a long line of democracies that have been devoted to the exalted ideals of the Declaration of Independence and similar documents declaring liberty.
