Answer:

The famous phrase emanating from the Declaration of Independence of the United States has not changed throughout history, thus remaining as the fundamental pillar that supports the national organization of the country, as it guarantees and aims the achievement and defense of the rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of hapiness. The phrase, like the entire Declaration of Independence, was authored by Thomas Jefferson and heavily influenced by the British philosopher John Locke.

Now, the interpretation of this phrase has changed over the years. Thus, for example, the right to life has undergone various changes in its integration, with states passing laws that allow abortion or legislating on euthanasia, for example. The same is true of freedom, where states variably regulate the various freedoms of their citizens.

Nezavi [6.7K]
Your best answer is D. The U.S. and its allies invaded Korea to prevent the spread of Communism—a policy known as "containment."

A is wrong. Korea has plenty of natural resources, but the U.S. did not invade for this reason and it was hardly worth it to fight a huge war to gain access to Korean natural resources when the U.S. had far easier ways to secure those same resources back home and through trade.

B is wrong because there was no war or threat of war between China and the Soviet Union, both of which were Communist countries who actually fought on the same side (secretly) during the Korean War.

C is wrong because Japanese expansion ended after World War II, which came before the Korean War. 

Ba-da-bing. D.

how come texas peacefully agreed to give up being its own country and be a part of the united states?
Svetach [21]
