Read the excerpt from President Woodrow Wilson’s speech “The Meaning of Liberty.” A patriotic American is a man who is not ni**ardly and selfish in the things that he enjoys that make for human liberty and the rights of man. He wants to share them with the whole world, and he is never so proud of the great flag under which he lives as when it comes to mean to other people as well as to himself a symbol of hope and liberty. I would be ashamed of this flag if it ever did anything outside America that we would not permit it to do inside of America. Which option most clearly identifies Wilson’s argument in the excerpt? A true patriot spreads the American flag around the world by expanding American territory.

A true patriot supports the values of the American Constitution abroad as well as at home.

A true patriot supports the best interests of one’s fellow American citizens above all others.

A true patriot spreads America’s reputation as a symbol of hope by protecting American freedom.
