Answer:  keeping the Soviet Union from expanding communism outside its borders.

Explanation:

The policy of containment focused on keeping communism and the Soviet Union's influence limited, rather than by trying to confront the Soviet Union directly or eliminate communism completely.  It influenced US foreign policy by prompting intervention in places like Korea to stop the spread of communism.

George F. Kennan recommended the policy of containment which set the tone for US involvement in world relations following World War II.  Kennan was an American diplomat 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).  It really was a <u>long</u> telegram -- it totaled 8,000 words.  

In those days, everyone feared an ultimate confrontation between the USA and the USSR -- that the Cold War would someday explode into a massive heated conflict between the superpowers.  Kennan, in Moscow, had much foresight to see the internal problems the USSR had.  He advised not pushing the conflict too much, but instead just try to "contain" the Soviet Union and wait for their system to collapse under the weight of its own problems.  Kennan was right.  It took almost 50 years, but eventually the communist system in the USSR fell apart.  [The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics came to an end in 1991.]

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

There are a couple of things that can occur:

1)The bill would be struck down by votes in either the House of Representative (HR) or in the Senate (S).

- If the bill does not garner enough support or votes, the vote will die in the the corresponding house.

2) The bill will be veto and/or line veto by the President.

- The bill would be automatically vetoed, which would be returned to both houses to be passed if they get 2/3 votes in each congress. Line veto can be used when they pass the bill but WOULD NOT enforce PARTS of the law.

3) Law is declared Unconstitutional.

- The third branch of government, the Supreme Court, can void the law and declare the law unconstitutional.

4) Popular Opinion: On certain occasions, Citizens of the US can try Direct Democracy, in which if they gather enough signatures or supporters, they can force the government to reconsider their choice.

Concurrent powers are the powers held by both the federal and the state government. Delegated powers are the powers kept only with the central government and the reserved powers are the powers not given to any organ of the government.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Delegated (some of the time called enumerated or expressed) powers are explicitly allowed to the government in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution. This incorporates the ability to coin money, to regulate commerce, to announce war, to raise and keep up military, and to set up a Post Office.

Concurrent power is a political power independently exercisable by both federal and state governments in the same field of legislation. In the United States, examples of the concurrent powers shared by both the federal and state governments include the power to tax, build roads, and to create lower courts.

Reserved forces, residual powers, or residuary forces are the forces which are neither restricted or unequivocally given by law to any organ of government. Such powers, just as general intensity of fitness, are given since it is unfeasible to detail in enactment each demonstration permitted to be done by the state.
