b. the idea of manifest destiny was fulfilled

d. american values expanded beyond the continent

Explanation:

• First Question:
• The concept of Manifest Destiny was the 19th - century belief that the United States was destined by God to expand across the North American continent. John O'Sullivan's statement about Americans having a God - given right to all the land of the North American continent aligns with this idea.
• The Open Door Policy was about trade in China. The Wilmot Proviso was related to slavery in new territories. The Monroe Doctrine was about European non - intervention in the Americas.
• Second Question:
• The Indian Removal Act forced Native Americans (like the Cherokee) from their lands. Jackson's pledge to have a just and liberal policy towards Native American tribes contradicts the Indian Removal Act, which was harsh and forced.
• The ruling in Cherokee Nation v. Georgia was a Supreme Court decision, but the Indian Removal Act was a more direct action against Native Americans. The acquisition of western territories and the adoption of the National Bank are not directly related to the contradiction with the pledge about Native Americans.
• Third Question:
• The quote from Polk was related to the Mexican - American War. The broader goal accomplished was the fulfillment of Manifest Destiny. The United States acquired a large amount of territory (such as California, Nevada, Utah, etc.) from Mexico, which was in line with the idea of expanding across the continent.
• Slavery was not abolished by the events following this declaration. Polk did not serve a second term. American values expanding beyond the continent was not the main goal related to this quote.

Answer:

1. B. Manifest Destiny
2. B. the enactment of the Indian Removal Act
3. B. The idea of Manifest Destiny was fulfilled
