This photograph is one example of the struggles that civil right activists faced when protesting in order to change the law. The government often used violent methods of repression in order to maintain the status quo.

9. A. Debates over the extension of democratic ideals

The photograph refers to the Stonewall riots. The main question surrounding these was whether homosexuals should have spaces in which they can express their identity without government repression. The limits of freedom is one of the most important debates surrounding democratic rule.

10. A. imbalance in Japanese-United States trade.

11. D. policy toward illegal immigrants.

The cartoon plays with the quote that is at the base of the Statue of Liberty:

"Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore, Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

The quote states that the United States is a place for immigrants to take refuge in. However, it is the tower itself that is now persecuting them. It is a criticism towards American immigration policy.
