Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions:

If a country should have a message for its people, it should be of human dignity. The ideals of nation should be of the freedom of ideas, speech, press, the right to assemble, and the right to worship. A country should boldly proclaim to world dominated by tyrants that “all men are created equal and they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights” and “among there are life, liberty and pursuit of happiness”. This should be the source of the strength and power of nation. If people have the freedom to live their lives in dignity, they can work with a sound mind and physical health. The normal, economic and political stature of a country lies in the strength of its people. A nation should strive to be a more perfect where the people are given a promise and a hope in their minds to cherish liberty, justice and opportunity. We do not always get what we want, when we want it, but it is always better to believe that someday, somehow, someway, we will get what we want.

A nation should derive its strength and power from

Its citizens 

The correct answer is OPTION 2-  Its citizens 

The passage explicitly states that "The normal, economic and political stature of a country lies in the **strength of its people**." This highlights that the capabilities and well-being of the citizens are the foundation of a nation's strength.

While the other options are related to the source of a nation's strength, they are not as encompassing:

The morals of the nation: While morals can contribute to a strong nation, the passage doesn't solely focus on them.
Freedom of its people: Freedom is an important aspect mentioned in the passage, but it's seen as a right that empowers citizens, who are the ultimate source of strength.
Rights of its people: Similar to freedom, rights are crucial, but the passage emphasizes that these rights lead to strong citizens who make the nation strong.
