The fact that replacement soldiers, usually immigrants, could be hired or that a payment of $300 to the government could get a man out of the draft made the system very unpopular to many.

The correct answer is A) Some people believed that the draft targeted poorer citizens.

The other options of the question were B) Both men and women were drafted to serve in the war. C) President Johnson was opposed to the draft. D) US leaders believed that the draft slowed the war effort.

One reason the draft was unpopular was that some people believed that the draft targeted poorer citizens.

Women were not drafted to go to the Vietnam War, some of them went voluntarily.

On July 28, 1965, President Lyndon B. Jhonson made a  difficult announcement. He ordered to increase the number of drafted men to send them to Vietnam. The US troops already had approximately 75,00o soldiers in the region but President Jhonson wanted to complete the number to 125,000. Many citizens considered that basically, the draft targeted poorer citizens.

Answer: D. It felt the League of Nations would restrict America of its sovereignty.

Details:

The United States never joined the League of Nations, in spite of the fact that an organization such as the League of Nations was the signature idea of US President Woodrow Wilson.  He had laid out 14 Points for establishing and maintaining world peace following the Great War (World War I).  Point #14 was the establishment of an international peacekeeping association.

The Treaty of Versailles adopted that idea, but back home in the United States, there was not support for involving America in any association that could diminish US sovereignty over its own affairs or involve the US again in wars beyond those pertinent to the United States' own national security. Because of its objections to membership in the League of Nations, the United States Senate refused to ratify the Treaty of Versailles.
