Answer: question 6 is “c” to defend member nations against Soviet expansion and aggression.
Question 7 is a little more difficult because while America did want to spread democratic values, they also wanted a bulwark against Soviet expansion. I would probably say “d” in this case.
Explanation: The Soviets had already moved into Asia at the end of WWII, taking several of Japans processions, which included parts of N. Korea and Japanese islands. They had joined the war against Japan, answering a request from the US for assistance. It was important that the US not abandon Japan after WWII since there’s a good chance the Soviets would’ve moved in just as they did in parts of Asia and East Europe.
<u>The colonial governments had impact on american politics and institutions, through the following facts:</u>
<u>1. The idea of a common central government became increasingly popular</u> as criticism of British centralism took a violent form. The settlers' original dream of reforming old institutions and establishing a new civilization was unique and dual.
<u>2. The War of Independence was the first modern political revolution.</u> It started with the universal democratic slogan: "no taxation without representation".
<u>3. The Declaration of Independence in 1776 represented a revolutionary vision of mankind and its institutions</u>, emphasizing the natural necessity of separation and independence.
<u>4. The Constitution, based on a federal model, established a prototype of interstate relationships according to the principle of divided sovereignty,</u> setting up a republican system in which no branch of the government could exercise any despotic authority over the others.
