Answer:

By giving the president larger powers to use force and other means necessary to face the communist moves in Southeast Asia.

Explanation:

The so-called Gulf of Tonkin Resolution was passed by Congress on August 7, 1964. It authorized president Lyndon B. Johnson "to take all necessary measures to repel any armed attack against the forces of the United States and to prevent further aggression” by the communists of North Vietnam.

It followed the alledged attack on two U.S. Navy destroyers by North Vietnamese boats in international waters of the Gulf of Tonkin. This resolution opened the door to full military engagement by the US in the conflict in Vietnam.

The Missouri compromise by Senator Clay involves admitting Maine to the United States as a free state while at the same time having Missouri as a slave state.

The Northerners and Southerners probably had the strong feeling that Clay was only working to solve the problems in ways in which he best knew how to.

stich3 [128]

Answer: B. a lower per capita income.

Explanation:

Per capita income refers to a measure of economic development that divides a nation's GDP by the population of the country. It is meant to show in theory, the amount of wealth that each person in the country has.

A developed country like the United States would have a very high GDP which when divided by the population of the U.S. would give a higher per capita income. This is unlike a developing country that would have a lower GDP and by extension, a lower per capita income as well.
