Question

6 multiple choice 2 points base your answer to the following question on the cartoon below and on your knowledge of social studies. source: scott stantis, the birmingham news, june 27, 2002 (adapted) which issue is the central focus of this cartoon drawn after september 1, 2001? is there a need to give up some civil liberties to protect the nation? should the united states reduce oil imports from the middle east? does the united states need fewer limits on immigration? should the united states abandon the constitution?

Explanation:

The cartoon shows Uncle Sam (representing the U.S. government) with "We the People" (from the Constitution) and the question "Where do I draw the line?" After 9/11, there was a debate about balancing security (protecting the nation) and civil liberties. The other options: reducing oil imports (not shown in the cartoon), fewer immigration limits (no indication), and abandoning the Constitution (too extreme, the cartoon is about a balance, not abandonment).

Answer:

Is there a need to give up some civil liberties to protect the nation?
