The correct answer is "Elected leaders were capable of abusing their power."
For Lyndon B. Johnson, he abused the powers given to him in the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution passed by the United States Congress. His massive escalation in Vietnam despite the lack of US success shows how he abused his executive power.
For Richard Nixon, he tried to cover up a huge break in to the Democratic National Convention headquarters at the Watergate complex. He tried to use the excuse of "executive privilege" as a means to keep his recorded conversations from the American public.
Answer: A) The Cuban Missile Crisis
Context/detail:
The Cuban Missile Crisis was a tense face-off between America, led by President John F. Kennedy and the Soviet Union, led by Nikita Khrushchev, in October of 1962, over the placement of Soviet missiles on the island of Cuba, close to the United States home territory. It is often stated that this moment was the closest the USA and the USSR ever came to the eruption of an actual nuclear war between the two superpowers.
The correct answer is Brazil.
Brazil was the last country in the world to abolish slavery.
The Portuguese who colonized the country used the hand if slave labor and this culture was perpetuated until the end of the Portuguese empire.
It<u> was only in 1988 that Isabel, the heir of the Portuguese empire in Brazil, signed a document called </u><u>The Aurean Law</u><u>, which freed all 700,000 slaves from the country, which had 15 million inhabitants.</u> The Aurean Law marks a political context of pressures for the end of slavery and, almost four centuries after its discovery, Brazil became a country without slaves, the result of much political and social struggle.
