Question 10 • *NBHS FL-2106010-M/J Civics A

Which example demonstrates the US using foreign policy to achieve national interests?

Answer
A
The US government passes new voting rights laws to strengthen its democracy.
B
The US government approves an increase in the budget of its military.
C
The US government works with other countries to ease conflicts and maintain trade.
D
The US government sends funds to help a US city clean its drinking water supply.

Explanation

Foreign policy is how the United States interacts with other countries to pursue its interests. Working with other countries to ease conflicts and maintain trade is an example of that interaction. Passing voting rights laws and helping a US city are domestic actions, while increasing the military budget is not itself an interaction with another country.
