Answer: B ) The arms race
Explanation: The nuclear arms race was an arms race competition for supremacy in nuclear warfare between the United States, the Soviet Union, and their respective allies during the Cold War. During this very period, in addition to the American and Soviet nuclear stockpiles, other countries developed nuclear weapons, though none engaged in warhead production on nearly the same scale as the two superpowers.
The correct answer is D. Nathan Hale said that before he was hung by the British.
Allan Bakke had been the subject of a case involving <u>“reverse discrimination” </u>during the carter administration.
In 1978 Allan Bakke applied for admission at medical school and it was declined twice by the University of California, so Bakke filed a suit against the University arguing that he had better scores than the minority groups that were granted access.
At that time, the university had reserved a quota of 16%, as part of affirmative action program, to minority groups. Affirmative action program was designed to provide better educational and employment opportunities to those groups.
In this legal case, Bakke claimed that the use of quota based on race was unfair “reverse discrimination” as according the Civil Right Act, equal protection should be given to all citizens. The Supreme Court, in a highly controversial case, ordered that the university should admit Bakke and declared that affirmative action was constitutional but could not be used in cases of race quotas.
