Answer 2

Answer: D. "When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. "

Explanation:

Martin Luther King, Jr. presents the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence as evidence of African-Americans being owed the same rights as White Americans. They should get the fair and equal treatment promised in the founding documents of the United States. However, the discrimination they face makes those founding promises "a bad check".
