A Memorial Day Brain Teaser.

I like the occasional brain teasers. So, in honor of Memorial Day, I'd like to present some brain teasers because it's stuff like this our soldiers stand up and give their lives for... I will post the answers at the end of the day.


Here are the questions -

1)
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 the pursuit of
Happiness.

2)
I have a dream that one day out in the red hills of Georgia the sons of
former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit
down together at the table of brotherhood.

3)
It was we, the people, not we, the white male citizens, nor yet we, the
male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed this Union.

4) The Body of B. Franklin, Printer,

Like the Cover of an old Book,

Its Contents torn out,

And stript of its Lettering & Gilding,

Lies here, Food for Worms.

5)
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of
speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to
assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

6)
That is no vision of a distant millennium. It is a definite basis for a
kind of world attainable in our own time and generation. That kind of
world is the very antithesis of the so called new order of tyranny
which the dictators seek to create with the crash of a bomb.

7)
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for
crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist
within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

8)
We owe it, therefore, to candor and to the amicable relations existing
between the United States and those powers to declare that we should
consider any attempt on their part to extend their system to any portion
of this hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety.

9) And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.

10)
No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United
States, at the time of the Adoption of the Constitution, shall be
eligible to the Office of President, neither shall any Person be
eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of
thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United
States.

11)
His Brittanic Majesty acknowledges the said United States, viz., New
Hampshire, Massachusetts Bay, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations,
Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia,
North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia, to be free sovereign and
independent states, that he treats with them as such, and for himself,
his heirs, and successors, relinquishes all claims to the government,
propriety, and territorial rights of the same and every part thereof.

12)
The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied
or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.

13) And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air, gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.

14)
To you, then, gentlemen, who are charged with the sovereign functions
of legislation, and to those associated with you, I look with
encouragement for that guidance and support which may enable us to steer
with safety the vessel in which we are all embarked amidst the
conflicting elements of a troubled world.

15)
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation or
any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. We are met
on a great battle field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion
of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their
lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper
that we should do this.
