Answer:

The correct answer is B. It made them aware of the government's lies about the Vietnam War.

Explanation:

The Pentagon Papers revealed that the United States had not shown to the American public the real scope of the actions taken by their country in the Vietnam War through the bombings in Cambodia and Laos.

Daniel Ellsberg was the person who disclosed the study and he was accused of conspiracy and espionage but the charges were dismissed after an investigation about the Watergate scandal.

Finally, in 2011 the Pentagon Papers were released to allow the American public knowing the details about this study.

____ [38]

Answer:

The power of the purse is the ability of one group to manipulate and control the actions of another group by withholding funding, or putting stipulations on the use of funds. The power of the purse can be used positively (e.g. awarding extra funding to programs that reach certain benchmarks) or negatively (e.g. removing funding for a department or program, effectively eliminating it). The power of the purse is most often utilized by forces within a government that do not have direct executive power, but have control over budgets and taxation.
