Question

Read the excerpt from President Woodrow Wilson’s speech, “War Message to Congress.”

Answer 1

I would say the correct answer is B. Congress and the American people. This is a president's explanation and justification of taking part in the Great War. He must explain to both the Congress and the whole nation that this cause is just and that the lives of people involved will not be risked in vain. The phrase "the choice we make for ourselves" proves that Wilson relies on the national consensus for this decision.
