Paraphin [41]2 years ago

The Founding Fathers created the U.S. government to have numerous checks and balances as well as a VERY limited central (federal) government. They did this to prevent a relapse of the tyranny (hence “absolute power”) they dealt with under the British Empire. The American colonies were essentially meant to serve the mother nation (Britain), but the colonists braved the journey to America to establish a new, freer nation with religious freedom as its top priority.
To prove this quote is still relevant today, it’s not unknown that when humans acquire power, it’s very easy for them to abuse that power. Examples of this would be the oligarchies we see in Russia and China with a very small amount of people in power living in a lap of luxury while everyone else lives a subpar life.

Basile [38]

Answer:

President Truman assigned General Douglas MacArthur as the leader of the UN troops.  Truman wanted to restore peace in North and South Korea as soon as possible. Under  no circumstances did Truman want to give the Chinese a reason to enter the war. He  wanted MacArthur to stay away from the Chinese border.

Instead of following Truman's orders, MacArthur did things his way. He thought that the Chinese would not join in the war, so he assured Truman that the Chinese army would not take part in the war when the UN forces reach the Yalu River, the border between China and North Korea.
