I've literally been trying to get an answer for over an hour, please help :( "The United States was effective in containing the spread of Communism." To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

This answer is difficult. The United States fears communism, and set out to contain it around the world. During the Korean war, you could say the allies were successful containing communism due to the 38th parallel being created. But at the same time, they couldn't wipe communism out of all of Korea. The same goes for the Vietnam War. Another example is the failure of The Bay of Pigs invasion. The U.S failed in creating an uprising against the communist Fidel Castro. The U.S also could not keep China from becoming communist. But, you could say the Soviets failed in spreading communism because they were not able to spread it all across Europe.

Explanation: I hope this answers your question.

what are the options so i can answer it

constitution, and in all respects subordinate to it. insofar

as it deals with presidential power, however, the american

constitution has proved to be a highly malleable document.

with very few exceptions,' the constitutional provisions relating to the president have not been changed at all since

they were ratified in 1787. but in the late twentieth century, those provisions do not mean what they meant in

1787. the constitution is a legal document, and it is enforced judicially; but its meaning was hardly fixed when it

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
