Answer:
The correct answer is <u>B</u>: Congress declared war on Japan.
Explanation:
In 1941, Japan occupied Indochina and acquired valuable sources of material goods and materials. Their next plan was to attack East India, because of its oil sources. The US responded to this by an oil embargo that particularly hit the Japanese Navy. The Japanese government decided to occupy East India, although it brought them an armed conflict with Britain and the US.
As a further warning, the US government had moved most of its Pacific fleet from San Diego to Pearl Harbor. That was a great opportunity for Japan to gain dominance in the Pacific and conquer the rest of Asia.
On December 7, 1942, the US base (Pearl Harbor) was attacked by Japanese aircraft which damaged a large number of ships and aircraft. This attack, carried out without a formal war declaration, caused great anger among the American public and the Congress decided the USA should be involved in world events and declared war on Japan.
The answer is A. Pathways to Preosperity.
Answer:
b. Restrict first amendment rights.
Explanation:
The Schenck v. United States (1919) Supreme Court case ruled by putting limitations on the rights of individuals if it concerns the interest of the nation. This ruling states that constitutional rights are not absolute and can be changed anytime the government sees fit.
The Supreme Court decided to issue the limits on the freedoms of individuals, especially during wartime. This ruling established the ability of the government in suppressing any speech or news that it thinks is harmful to the welfare of the nation. It stated that with concerns regarding the <em>"clear and present danger" </em>that can put the nation in jeopardy, the government is free to restrict the first amendment rights as and when it feels necessary.
Thus, the correct answer is option b.
