The correct answer is A. Abraham Lincoln.
In his Gettysburg Address, Abraham Lincoln famously declared that “government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” This phrase has become one of the most famous and enduring expressions of democracy.
George Washington was the first president of the United States and is considered one of the Founding Fathers of the country. He was a general in the American Revolutionary War and led the Continental Army to victory over the British.
Theodore Roosevelt was the 26th president of the United States and served from 1901 to 1909. He is known for his progressive policies and his “Square Deal” for the American people.
Winston Churchill was the prime minister of the United Kingdom from 1940 to 1945 and again from 1951 to 1955. He is best known for his leadership during World War II and his speeches that rallied the British people against the Nazis.
While all of these men were important figures in American and British history, only Abraham Lincoln made the declaration that “Democracy is a Government of the people, by the people, for the people.”
