Answer:

<h2>b) The Vietnam War</h2>

Explanation:

Protest movements against the Vietnam War were happening during the 1960s, leading up to 1971 when the 26th Amendment was passed by Congress and ratified by the states.  Protests were especially common on college campuses across the country.  Part of those protests were the demands of young people chanting, "Old enough to fight, old enough to vote."  Since 18 was old enough to be drafted to fight in the war, young people argued for their right to vote as full citizens.

The 26th Amendment was passed by Congress on March 23, 1971.  It was ratified by the states faster than any other amendment, achieving ratification by July 1, 1971.

The 26th Amendment is worded as follows:  

<em>Section 1. The right of citizens of the United States, who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of age.</em>

<em>Section 2. The Congress shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.</em>

Which of the following phrases best characterizes Herbert Hoover’s foreign policy agenda?
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer choice for the question: Which of the following phrases best characterizes Herbert Hoover´s foreign policy agenda, would be: the last one: Mutual respect, in terms of being available to support others when called upon, but not interfering unnecessarily in their affairs.

Explanation:

Herbert Hoover served as the 31st president of the United States from 1929 to 1933, and he faced one of the toughest economical debacles in all of history. Although highly criticized later for the inefficient ways in which he was perceived to have acted to stop the domino effects of the Great Depression, there is one thing that can be said about him; he definitely believed in non-interventionism, whether on internal affairs, or foreign affairs. In foreign relations, Hoover was responsible for stepping down from intervening anymore in Latin American affairs, and also, as events that led to World War II, on events that took place in Asia. However, he was also always ready to act if needed; thus, he was not above threatening to intervene militarily in the Dominican Republic, and other such places. This is why the last option is the best one to describe this character´s international agenda.
