Answer:

The right answer is:

A. increasing mistrust of the government.

Explanation:

The credibility of the political system and of the political class was undermined by both events. Since JFK, the successive administrations did not tell the whole truth about the war in Vietnam, they kept telling the pubic America and her allies were winning the war; that perception was brutally challenged by the 1968 Tet Offensive by the Communist Viet Cong in South Vietnam, a military setback but a great coup d´image for the Vietnamese guerillas fighting the pro-American regime. So, in 1969, Richard Nixon was elected under the promise he´d extricate the USA from the Southeast Asian nightmare with honor. The Watergate scandal of 1972-1974 severely eroded the aura and prestige of the presidency, as Nixon´s lies and justice obstruction became public. It ended with his resignation from the presidency.

describe how President Roosevelt portrays Nazi Germany and its allies, the Axis powers, in his speech.
Ray Of Light [21]

In his "Great Arsenal of Democracy" speech, delivered on 29 December 1940, in the middle of the World War II, Roosevelt portrays the nations of Nazi Germany and its allies as aggressors and with a very different philosophy of government than American's, which consisted of violently dominating the world. He affirmed that If the Axis won the war, they would take over other continents nearby (Asia, Africa, Europe) and would bring enormous military and naval resources against the U.S. as well.

Consequently, the Axis power represented a threat to American society, and thus America, as the great arsenal of democracy, had a duty to help Britain fight the Axis by giving them military supplies while it stayed out of the actual fighting.
