Correct answer:  A. It amounted to an informal declaration of Cold War.

Explanation/detail:

The Truman Doctrine became the basis for the United States' foreign policy during the Cold War.  The Truman Doctrine was first stated by the president to Congress in 1947, saying:  "It must be the policy of the United States to support free people who are resisting attempted subjugation by armed minorities or by outside pressures."  Essentially, the Truman Doctrine pledged American effort elsewhere in the world to check the spread of communist and Soviet influence.  The policy was first put into action in 1948 by providing economic support to Greece and Turkey to stave off communist movement in those countries.  The essence of this policy was called "containment" -- keeping communism where it was and stopping it from spreading.  

The containment policy had been recommended by George F. Kennan, America's ambassador in Moscow after World War II.  In 1946, he sent what became known as "the long telegram" of his advice about what the USA needed to do about the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR).  Kennan took note of the internal problems the USSR had.  He advised not pushing the conflict too much, but instead just try to "contain" the Soviet Union and wait for their system to collapse under the weight of its own problems.  Kennan was right.  It took almost 50 years, but eventually the communist system in the USSR fell apart.  [The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics came to an end in 1991.]

What classification of government distinguishes between presidential and parliamentary government?
Alexus [3.1K]

How power is distributed is the classification of government that distinguishes among presidential and parliamentary government. Moreover, some writers do not make any difference between state and government.

 

EXPLANATION:  

Some writers use government and state in the same sense and at the same time provide a classification of the state. Modern writers disagree with this type of classification.

According to some writers, there should be no state classification, because all states are the same in four traits—population, government, territory, and sovereignty—are important for all states. The American writer Willoughby argues that there can be no states classification; states can only be classified by the administration. In fact, the classification of governments is the states’ classification. The state expresses its wishes through the government. L e a c  *  *  k and Gilchrist also approve that there must be a government classification.

Aristotle’s classification of states is according to two principles:

1.    The number of persons who train supreme power;

2.    The culminations they search for serving self-interest or profit of the community.

Aristotle believed that when the rulers targeted the good of the community, the states would become a pure form of the state. When the rulers in such a state became self-centered, that state would be called a p e r v e r t e d state.

According to Aristotle, if sovereignty is in one person, it is Monarchy. The form of p e r v e r t e d is Tyranny. If sovereignty exists in a small minority of the people, that is Aristocracy. If the sovereign power exists in a large part of the population, it is polity. The form of p e r v e r t e d is Democracy. If this small minority utilizes sovereignty for its own self-centered ends, that is the Oligarchy.
