B) The Pledge of Allegiance
C) The Constitution
D) The Declaration of Independence

Answer 1

Francis Bellamy was inspired by the flag to write the Pledge of Allegiance in 1892, reflecting the deep sense of nationalism and patriotism in America.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1892, the flag inspired Francis Bellamy to write B) The Pledge of Allegiance. This patriotic oath was a manifestation of the nationalism and patriotism that had been growing in America since the Revolutionary War, to inspire citizens to sacrifice their private interests for the general welfare, which historian John Murrin discusses. The Pledge of Allegiance is a symbol of Americans' dedication to their nation, and schools often begin the day with its recitation to teach students patriotism, as outlined by FIGURE 16.6, although students cannot be compelled to recite or salute during the Pledge.
