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 ascribes importance to the Virginia Declaration of Rights primarily because_____.
选项
A、Mason was its principal author
B、it was later adopted as the Federal Bill of Rights
C、through wide circulation it influenced the writing of other state constitutions during the Revolution
D、through other state constitutions it eventually influenced the writing of the Federal Bill of Rights
答案
D
解析
题目问:作者为什么十分重视弗吉尼亚权利宣言?第一段最后一句“He was the principal author of theVirginia 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.”通过这段话可知,弗吉尼亚权利宣言对美国革命期间各州及联邦权利法案的制定,都起到了不容忽视的作用。据此判断,应选择D。
