George Mason must rank with John Adams and James Madison as one of the three Founding Fathers who left their personal imprint on the fundamental law of the United States. He was the principal author of the Virginia Declaration of Rights,which because of its early formation greatly influenced other state constitutions framed during the Revolution and,through them,the Federal Bill of Rights of 1791.
Yet Mason was essentially a private person with very little inclination for public office or the ordinary operation of politics beyond the country level. His appearances in the Virginia colonial and state legislatures were relatively brief,and not until 1787 did he consent to represent his state at a continental or national congress or convention. Politics was never more than a means for Mason. He was at all times a man of public spirit,but politics was never a way of life,never for long his central concern. It took a revolution to pry him away from home and family at Gunston Hall,mobilize his skill and energy for constitutional construction, and transform him,in one brief moment of brilliant leadership,into a statesman whose work would endure to influence the lives and fortunes of those"millions yet unborn"of whom he and his generation of Americans spoke so frequently and thought so constantly.
The author indicates that Mason’s brilliant leadership ability_____.
选项
A、was exercised throughout his life
B、has been recognized only by the generations that followed him
C、was less important historically than his brilliance as a lawyer
D、emerged powerfully,but for a brief time only
答案
D
解析
题目问:作者是怎样表明梅森英明的领导能力的?文章最后一句“in one brief moment of brilliantleadership.into a statesman whose work would endure to influence the lives and fortunes of those“millions yet unborn”of whom he and his generation of Americans spoke so frequently and thought so constantly.”通过这段话可知,Mason的政治成就影响了美国政治制度的建设,因此也给美国民众带来了莫大幸福。但却是短暂的。据此判断,应选择D。
