Elanso [62]3 years ago

Over time, the Soviet Union would either soften in its stance or would break apart from the internal contradictions of its system.

One of the things George Kennan said in his "long telegram" (8,000 words) sent in 1946 was that the USSR's overall methods of propaganda and control were negative and destructive.  "It should therefore be relatively easy to combat it by any intelligent and really constructive program," he said.  Urging a policy of containment rather than direct confrontation with the Soviet Union was a plan for waiting the nation to change in a positive direction or fail because it could not maintain control of its own system.  Kennan said, "<span>Success of Soviet system, as form of internal power, is not yet finally proven. It has yet to be demonstrated that it can survive supreme test of successive transfer of power from one individual or group to another. ... Internal soundness and permanence of movement need not yet be regarded as assured."</span>

Under the Articles of Confederation, the lack of a strong national government to deal with national problems can best be explain
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

B). Fear of the abuses experienced under British rule.

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation was the first written document regarded as the constitution of the United States of America as it was agreed upon by the thirteen (13) original states. Thus, the Articles of Confederation highlighted and established the functions of the government of the United States of America.

Hence, to the States, one of the greatest advantage of the Articles of Confederation was the sovereignty of the government of America. It made it a central government with the ability to raise an army.

Under the Articles of Confederation, the lack of a strong national government to deal with national problems can best be explained by the fear of the abuses experienced under British rule i.e the conflict which ensued between King Charles I and the parliamentarians as a result of power and authority.
