Tools of Foreign Policy

Question 5 • *NBHS FL-2106010-M/J Civics A

Which scenario best represents the US foreign policy goal of promoting democracy around the world?

Answer

The United States condemns the arrests of protesters in Country A who were peacefully demonstrating.

Congress ratifies a trade agreement between the United States and several Central American countries.

The United States sends funds and supplies to a country that was devastated by a series of earthquakes.

The president meets with the leader of Country B to discuss ways their two countries can work together.

Explanation

Promoting democracy means supporting people’s rights to participate in government and express their views peacefully. Condemning the arrests of peaceful protesters in Country A signals support for those democratic rights. The trade agreement, earthquake aid, and diplomatic meeting may serve other foreign policy goals, but they do not directly promote democracy.
