PLSC 325-Final Exam correctlyanswered 12
Quote: "In the execution of such a plan nothing is more essential than that permanent, inveterate
antipathies against particular nations and passionate attachments to others should be excluded, and that
in place of them just and amicable feelings towards all should be cultivated."
"It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world, so far, I
mean, as we are now at liberty to do it... Taking care always to keep ourselves by suitable establishment
on a respectable defensive posture, we may safely trust to temporary alliances for extraordinary
emergencies." - correct answer ✔✔-Washington's Farewell Address
Quote: "This would not have happened without American leadership. And by the way, the same is true
for the Iran nuclear deal. The same is true for the Trans-Pacific Partnership. The same is true for
stamping out Ebola, something, you guys may recall from last year, which was the potential end of the
world."
"At each juncture, what we've said is, is that American strength and American exceptionalism is not just
a matter of us bombing somebody. More often, it's a matter of us convening, setting the agenda,
pointing other nations in a direction that's good for everybody and good for U.S. interests, engaging in
painstaking diplomacy, leading by example. And sometimes, the results don't come overnight, they don't
come the following day, but they come." - correct answer ✔✔-Obama on American Exceptionalism
Quote: "For nearly two centuries, through good times and bad, the ideals of individual rights and
opportunity that inspired men like Washington, Jefferson and Adams have survived and flourished. More
than any other nation of any area, America has truly been the home of the free and the haven of the
weak and oppressed from other parts of the world. And the catalyst of American values has transformed
the weak and the oppressed into part of a strong and a just people."
"Great trials and greater triumphs still lie ahead for us as a people. There are still wrongs to be righted,
and new goals of peace, prosperity, justice and a better environment to be met. But as long as we
remain true to the ideals of America, as long as our energy does not flag and our faith does not fail, no
problem is too great and no evil is too strong to be overcome by a united American people." - correct
answer ✔✔-Nixon on American Exceptionalism
, Quote: "...the occasion has been judged proper for asserting, as a principle in which the rights and
interests of the United States are involved that the American continents, by the free and independent
condition which they have assumed and maintain, are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for
future colonization by any European powers." - correct answer ✔✔-Monroe Doctrine
Quote: "We are participants, whether we would or not, in the lift of the world. The interests of all
nations are our own also. We are partners with the rest...peace must henceforth depend upon a new
and more wholesome diplomacy...the United States is willing to become a partner in any feasible
association of nations formed in order to realize these objects" - correct answer ✔✔-Wilson pre-WW1
Quote: "At the present moment in world history nearly every nation must choose between alternative
ways of life... One way of life is based upon the will of the majority... The second way of life is based
upon the will of a minority forcibly imposed upon the majority..."
"I believe that it must be the policy of the United States to support free peoples who are resisting
attempted subjugation by armed minorities or by outside pressures... Should we fail to aid Greece and
Turkey in this fateful hour, the effect will be far-reaching to the West as well as to the East." - correct
answer ✔✔-Truman Doctrine
Quote: "It is logical that the United States should do whatever it is able to do to assist in the return of
normal economic health in the world, without which there can be no political stability and no assured
peace. Our policy is directed not against any country or doctrine but against hunger, poverty,
desperation, and chaos. Its purpose should be the revival of a working economy in the world so as to
permit the emergence of political and social conditions in which free institutions can exist." - correct
answer ✔✔-Marshall Plan
Reporter: Mr. President, would you mind commenting on the strategic importance of Indochina to the
free world? I think there has been, across the country, some lack of understanding on just what it means
to us.
Eisenhower: You have, of course, both the specific and the general when you talk about such things. First
of all, you have the specific value of a locality in its production of materials that the world needs. Then
you have the possibility that many human beings pass under a dictatorship that is inimical to the free
world. Finally, you have broader considerations that might follow what you would call the "falling
domino" principle. You have a row of dominoes set up, you knock over the first one, and what will
happen to the last one is the certainty that it will go over very quickly. So you could have a beginning of a
disintegration that would have the most profound influences... - correct answer ✔✔-Eisenhower on
Domino Theory
