question:
His death, called providential by Charles Sumner, fell on the same day his home state abolished slavery. After both Louis McLane and William Duane refused to pull the government's funds out of the Second Bank of the United States, the duty fell to this man in his role as Jackson's Secretary of the Treasury. He had earlier been Attorney General, and afterwards was appointed to his most famous position, from which he issued opinions in such cases as Charles River Bridge v. Warren Bridge and Ex parte Merryman. FTP, name this Supreme Court Chief Justice who most famously presided over Dred Scott.
answer:
History

question:
To the speaker of this poem and "to darkness" is left the world by a ploughman who "homeward plods his weary way." The speaker of this poem muses about "hands that the rod of empire might have swayed, or waked to ecstasy the living lyre." The denizens of the title location of this poem were "forbade to wade through slaughter to a throne," meaning one of them may be "some (*) Cromwell guiltless of his country's blood." This poem concerns those who lived "far from the madding crowd's ignoble strife," and it begins as "the curfew tolls the knell of parting day." For 10 points, name this poem by Thomas Gray.
answer:
Literature

question:
class of particles is not massless because they are pseudo-Goldstone bosons resulting from chiral symmetry being spontaneously broken. Many grand unification theories require protons to decay into a positron and the neutral form of this class of particles. The negative form of this usually decays into an muon and an anti-muon neutrino. It was wrongly predicted to be the carrier of the strong force by Yukawa. The neutral form of this type of particle can decay into a photon and an electron-positron pair in the Dalitz decay, though more commonly decays into just two photons. While the neutral form of this with zero spin weighs around 135MeV, the positive form of this is made of an up and a down antiquark. For 10 points, name these lightest mesons.
