The correct answer is option 3, Abraham Lincoln. The statement "of the people, by the people; for the people" is a famous quote from Lincoln`s Gettysburg Address. This speech was given by Lincoln on November 19, 1863, during the American Civil War. In the address, Lincoln emphasizes the idea that democracy is a government that is created and exists for the benefit of the people. It reflects the principles of popular sovereignty, where the power resides with the people.

Option 1, George Washington, is incorrect as he was the first President of the United States but did not make this particular declaration. Option 2, Winston Churchill, is also incorrect as he was the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and not associated with this statement. Option 4, Theodore Roosevelt, is also incorrect as he was a former President of the United States but did not make this declaration.
