Read the passage.
From John F. Kennedy’s Inaugural Address The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human
poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe–the belief that
the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God.
What differences does Kennedy see between the world now and the world as it was during the American Revolution?
O People today have the power to end poverty and to destroy human life.
O People today believe that human rights come from God, not from the state.
O People all over the globe now believe in the ideals of the American Revolution.
O People now believe that human rights come from the state, not from God.
