The line from Lincoln's speech that best corresponds to Martin Luther King Jr.'s concern about waiting for "our God-given and constitutional rights" is:
**d. four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.**
This line speaks to the founding ideals of equality and liberty, which King references in relation to the long struggle for civil rights, highlighting that although the nation was founded on these principles, they have not yet been fully realized for all individuals, particularly African Americans.
