Answer: Soviet aggression toward Europe was mounting.

Context/details:

The statement was a part of what became known as "The Truman Doctrine." The policy was first stated by President Truman in an address to Congress in 1947, when he said, "It must be the policy of the United States to support free people who are resisting attempted subjugation by armed minorities or by outside pressures." Essentially, the Truman Doctrine pledged American effort elsewhere in the world to check the spread of communist and Soviet influence. The policy was first put into action in 1948 by providing economic support to Greece and Turkey to stave off communist movement in those countries. The essence of this policy was called "containment" -- keeping communism where it was and stopping it from spreading.

The containment policy had been recommended by George F. Kennan, America's ambassador in Moscow after World War II. In 1946, he sent what became known as "the long telegram" of his advice about what the USA needed to do about the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). Kennan took note of the internal problems the USSR had. He advised not pushing the conflict too much, but instead just try to "contain" the Soviet Union rather than going to battle against the USSR directly.

1. The histogram for State A is different in shape, center, and spread than the histogram for State B because the distribution of the average time spent on surfing in State A is uniform. This means that the time spent by the students of different cities in State A is very close to each other.
2. Students in State A spent more average time on surfing the internet because although there are cities in state B that spent 50 and 65 hours on the internet, they only make up a small portion of the sample.

Make an argument for this.

Shalnov [3]

Argument:

<em>The creation of the Constitution represented a remarkable example of constructive compromise because</em><u> it is a compromise between the government and the people, that states that people should act in a certain way to maintain peace and that the government should protect the people's interests and rights. </u>

A historical example that proves that the Constitution represented an example of constructive compromise is the Three - Fifths Compromise, where the framers of the Constitution reached to an agreement to represent three out of every five slaves in a state to determine their total population for legislative representation and taxes purposes. This Compromise was constructive because both slave states that had little free population and free states with a bigger population would be equally represented by the United States House of Representatives by the next ten years.
