1. To confirm the correct answer for the first question, we need to understand the historical context of the Cuban Missile Crisis. The Cuban Missile Crisis occurred in 1962 when the United States discovered that the Soviet Union was secretly placing nuclear missiles in Cuba, just 90 miles off the coast of Florida. This created a tense standoff between the United States and the Soviet Union. The correct answer is (d) the Soviets removed their missiles, known as the outcome of the crisis, because the United States successfully negotiated with the Soviet Union to remove the missiles from Cuba in exchange for the United States removing its missiles from Turkey.
2. For the second question, we need to evaluate the decisions of the Supreme Court during Chief Justice Earl Warren's tenure from 1953 to 1969. It is important to note that the Warren Court is known for its expansion of civil rights and individual liberties. The correct answer is (a) protecting the constitutional rights of citizens accused of crimes, as the Warren Court made several landmark decisions that strengthened the rights of the accused, including the landmark cases Miranda v. Arizona and Gideon v. Wainwright.
3. To determine the correct answer for the third question, we need to assess the domestic policy successes of President John F. Kennedy. During his presidency from 1961 to 1963, Kennedy's key domestic policy initiatives included the New Frontier, which aimed to stimulate economic growth, promote civil rights, and support education and healthcare reform. The correct answer is (b) he had won a popular mandate that made the passage of his programs easy, as Kennedy's election victory in 1960 was by a narrow margin and did not provide him with a legislative mandate to easily pass his programs.
4. Evaluating the criticisms of the Great Society, which was President Lyndon B. Johnson's domestic policy agenda focused on eliminating poverty and racial injustice, the correct answer is (b) gave the federal government too much authority. Critics argued that the Great Society expanded the role of the federal government in areas traditionally left to states and local communities, leading to concerns about increased government intervention and control.
5. Analyzing the effect of Supreme Court decisions on apportionment, which refers to the distribution of seats in a legislative body, the correct answer is (c) electoral districts had to be redrawn based on "one person, one vote." In the landmark case Reynolds v. Sims (1964), the Supreme Court ruled that state legislative districts must be roughly equal in population, ensuring that each person's vote carries equal weight and preventing the underrepresentation of densely populated areas.
