Answer: Alleged attacks by North Vietnam against US naval ships in the Gulf of Tonkin.
Detail:
The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution was a measure passed by US Congress that allowed the US President to make military actions, like increase troops, without formal declaration of war. It led to huge escalation of US involvement in the Vietnam War. The resolution was passed by Congress in August, 1964, after alleged attacks on two US naval ships in the Gulf of Tonkin. The key wording in the resolution said:
- <em>Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, that the Congress approves and supports the determination of the President, as Commander in Chief, to take all necessary measures to repel any armed attack against the forces of the United States and to prevent further aggression.</em>
That resolution served as a blank check for President Johnson to send troops to whatever extent he deemed necessary in pursuance of the war. Between 1964 and the end of Johnson's presidency in 1969, US troop levels in Vietnam increased from around 20,000 to over 500,000.
Personally, I don't think so.
Every information we have is by principle, biased. We can never have a full picture on the issue (we don't live long enough to have ALL the information and all the other people's opinions) so this means that we only know a selection of relevant information. This selection biases our perception of the issue: so in this way, I think that we are bound to be at least a little bit biased.
Answer:
B. both supported a republican form of government
Explanation:
In The republican form of government, the citizens have the ability to influence the government decisions because members of the government are the representatives that selected by the citizens.
Both anti-Federalist and The Federalist supported this form of government. Their main disagreement is revolved around how much power the central government should have over the states.
The federalist wanted the central government to have huge power/influence over the states. The anti-federalist wanted the opposite.
