Which excerpt from the passage "Equal Justice Under Law" most effectively illustrates Thurgood Marshall's natural tendency to resist authority?

"If he wasn’t throwing chalk or teasing girls, he was arguing with teachers."

"So, one day, the principal sent him to the basement with a copy of the United States Constitution and stern orders not to come back up till he had memorized a passage."

"'Before I left that school,” Marshall said many years later, 'I knew the whole thing by heart.'"

"Parts of the Constitution, however, confused the young Marshall."
