Question

14 which outcomes are connected to u.s. involvement in the vietnam war? select two correct answers. the u.s. supreme court limited freedom of expression in response to military efforts. the united states lowered the voting age to 18 years old. the country of vietnam was divided into north and south along the 17th parallel. the unified vietnamese state adopted a democratic government. the war powers act of 1973 limited executive authority to conduct war without the approval of congress.

Explanation:

• Analyze each option:
• The U.S. Supreme Court did not limit freedom of expression in response to Vietnam War military efforts.
• The U.S. lowered the voting age to 18 (from 21) during the Vietnam War era, as many argued those old enough to fight should be able to vote.
• Vietnam was divided into North and South along the 17th parallel before U.S. involvement escalated (this was part of the Geneva Accords in 1954, prior to major U.S. involvement in the war).
• The unified Vietnamese state adopted a communist government, not a democratic one.
• The War Powers Act of 1973 was a response to the Vietnam War, limiting the President's ability to conduct war without Congressional approval.
• So the two correct answers are the ones about lowering the voting age to 18 and the War Powers Act.

Answer:

B. The United States lowered the voting age to 18 years old.
E. The War Powers Act of 1973 limited executive authority to conduct war without the approval of Congress.
