Select the correct text in the passage. Read the excerpt from Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare. Which statement develops the theme that abuse of power leads to destruction?

CASSIUS: (1)Why, man, he doth bestride the narrow world
Like a Colossus, and we petty men
Walk under his huge legs)

and peep about
To find ourselves dishonorable graves.
Men at some time are masters of their fates.
(2)The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars
But in ourselves, that we are underlings.)

Brutus and Caesar-what should be in that "Caesar'?
Why should that name be sounded more than yours?
(3)Write them together yours is as falr a name.
Sound them, it doth become the mouth as well.)

Weigh them, it is as heavy. Conjure with 'em,
"Brutus" will start a spirit as soon as "Caesar."
(4)Now in the names of all the gods at once,
Upon what meat doth this our Caesar feed
That he is grown so great?)

Age, thou art shamed!
Rome, thou hast lost the breed of noble bloods!

The options for the answers are 1,2,3,4

i beleive a. is the only possible answer

1) checks and balances- this idea is implemented in the constitution to ensure that no one branch of the federal government gains too much power. for example, the legislative branch(congress) can approve a bill that will then be sent to the executive branch (president). if the president does not like the bill or thinks that it violates the rights of citizens, he/she can veto the bill. vetoing the bill stops the bill from becoming a law. this check on power ensures that congress makes laws that do not violate the rights of citizens.

2) anti-federalists do not want to ratify the constitution unless it includes a bill of rights. the anti-federalists are worried that the constitution gives too much power to the federal government. having a strong central government caused problems when the us was still part of great britain. this is why the anti-federalists are fearful of this type of system.

3) federalists want a new constitution passed because it will fix america's weak political structure. before the us constitution is implemented, the constitution being used is known as the articles of confederation. this constitution has an extremely weak central government, allowing for disunity among the states.
