How did the policy of containment affect President Truman’s decision to send troops to fight in the Korean War?

The policy of containment allowed President Truman to send troops to fight in the Korean war.

Explanation:

The policy of containment is a foreign policy during the Cold War of the United States to limit the spread of communism after World War II. It provided support for countries that rejected communism. Americans fought on the sides of the nationalists to try to stop the spread of communists, especially in Asia. President Truman decided to send troops in Korea through Japan to stop communism entering South Korea. Americans believed that if it not stopped then it might encourage China to invade Taiwan and Japan (domino effect).

was ratified. in particular, the contemporary president has

far broader powers than the original constitution contemplated. it is remarkable but true that large-scale changes in

the authority of the president have been brought about

without changes in the constitutional text, but nevertheless

without significant illegality.

this is a paradox. is it not clear that constitutional

changes, if not textual, are illegal? the paradox has considerable relevance to our current thinking about the presidency in particular and about constitutionalism in general.

perhaps the framers of the american constitution feared

legislative power most of all; 2 but from well-known events

in the twentieth century, it is possible to conclude that it is

presidential power that holds out the greatest risks to both

liberty and democracy. the president is by far the most visible leader in the nation; he is often the only person in government with a national constituency. moreover, he is
