Correct answer:

<h2>Containment</h2>

<em>Note that the verified answer is wrong.  NATO was related to the Soviet's expansion plans, but NATO was not a "policy."  It was (and is) the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.</em>

Historical details:

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).

People feared a direct confrontation between the USA and the USSR. Kennan 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.

pav-90 [236]
Americans began to wonder if they could win the war. During the beginning of the war, morale amongst Americans was generally high and accepted a quick victory against the Viet Cong. As time went on however, fighting in the unknown terrain of Vietnam against an enemy who had no true uniform and blended in with the locals made fighting very difficult which prolonged the war. In 1968, the Viet Cong launched a nationwide surprise attack in cities, in the countryside, by splinter groups who all coordinated assaults in South Vietnam known as the Tet Offensive. The attack was a failure for the Viet Cong, but for the Americans to see the size and scope of the surprise attack in areas originally thought to be under US and South Vietnamese control was a psychological blow for the American military. They soon realized that fighting an enemy who they could not identify regardless of the hostile or friendly terrain eventually influenced the Americans decision to pull out of the war in 1973.

kicyunya [14]

Answer:

Constitutional Convention and Ratification, 1787–1789

The Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia met between May and September of 1787 to address the problems of the weak central government that existed under the Articles of Confederation. The United States Constitution that emerged from the convention established a federal government with more specific powers, including those related to conducting relations with foreign governments. Under the reformed federal system, many of the responsibilities for foreign affairs fell under the authority of an executive branch, although important powers, such as treaty ratification, remained the responsibility of the legislative branch. After the necessary number of state ratifications, the Constitution came into effect in 1789 and has served as the basis of the United States Government ever since.
