read this passage from "The American Dream." America is essentially a dream, a dream as yet unfulfilled. It is a dream of a land where men of all races, of all nationalities and of all creeds can live together as brothers. The substance of the dream is expressed in these sublime words, words lifted to cosmic proportions: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness." This is the dream. Based on the passage, how does the speaker provide evidence to support the idea of the American dream? by stating that the country was founded on the idea of equality by presenting the idea of men as brothers who live together by stating that the country includes people from many races by presenting the idea that words have the power to help people

Answer:

By stating that the country was founded on the idea of equality

Step-by-step explanation:

The author of the passage is justifying his view that there is something as the American Dream, by making reference to the declaration of independence, which the author quotes.

In the quote, the central idea of the nation is explained: all men are equal, and have basic rights that cannot be violated. To the author, this is the American Dream that is still unfulfilled.
