Questions come from the Bluebook question bank. Made by Iskaa303 (Iskander Madikhan).

While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:

  • Leaders of the Province of Guatemala proclaimed independence for Central America from the Spanish Empire on September 15, 1821.
  • The accompanying Declaration of Independence was written by Honduran scholar and politician José Cecilio del Valle.
  • The 1812 Spanish Constitution had provided some degree of independence for Central America, but it was repealed by the Spanish king in 1814.
  • Valle, a loyal advisor to the Spanish Empire’s administrators in Central America, had long opposed independence.
  • He changed his mind after Colonel Rafael del Riego’s 1820 revolt, which demanded the return of rights lost in 1814.

The student wants to place the 1821 Declaration of Independence in the context of Valle’s changing political beliefs. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?
