The Ordinance of 1784 is most significant historically because it embodied the principle that new states should be formed from the western region and admitted to the Union on an equal basis with the original commonwealths. This principle, which underlay the whole later development of the continental United States, was generally accepted by this time and cannot be properly credited to any single man. Thomas Jefferson had presented precisely this idea to his own state of Virginia before the Declaration of Independence, however, and if he did not originate it he was certainly one of those who held it first. It had been basic in his own thinking about the future of the Republic throughout the struggle for independence. He had no desire to break from the British Empire simply to establish an American one--in which the newer region should be subsidiary and tributary to the old. What he dreamed of was an expanding union of self-governing commonwealths, joined as a group of peers.
The author implies which of the following happened to new lands that are part of the British Empire?
选项
A、They were not considered equal to Britain itself.
B、They established a separate empire of their own.
C、They had an equal share in the government of the empire.
D、They were ruled by a group of peers.
答案
A
解析
本题为细节题。文章通篇强调新的成员要与老成员平等。文章倒数第四行有一句话——“He had no desire to break from the British Empire simply to establish an American one—in which the newer region should be subsidiary and tributary to the old”,可见正是因为原来存在不平等的问题,美国才要求独立。据此推断出选项A正确。
