Reading 2, Question 1: How do the authors of NSC-68 describe the global goals of
Soviet leaders? What threat do they believe the Soviet Union poses to the world order?
The authors of NSC-68 describe the global goals of the Soviet Union leaders as being a threat
and deemed disloyal. They believe the Soviet Union was a threat due its to the advanced
weapons and how effective it going to be. They also believed the Soviet Union was motivated by
a certain ideology and seeks to propagate it throughout the world.
Reading 2, Question 2: According to the document’s authors, how should the
United States respond to the Soviet threat? Why shouldn’t the United States continue on its
current path? Why don’t the authors support the immediate negotiations with the Soviet
Union? When do they think negotiations might be fruitful, and what would they hope to
achieve with this kind of diplomacy?
According to the document’s authors, the U.S. should respond to the soviet union threat
by taking responsibility for leadership by organizing and enlisting the energies & resources of
the free world in a positive way for peace. Doing this will result in frustrating Kemlin, the
Soviet leader, compelling him to adjust accordingly because his plan was to take over the world.
The United States shouldn’t continue on its current path because it will weaken the free world
considering the Soviet Union wants the opposite. The authors won’t support the negotiations
because they believe they’re not strong enough to negotiate with them yet. Once they are have
enough power, they will negotiate with them. But until then, they must start changing their path
to become stronger.

Reading 3, Question 1: According to the
Brown
decision, why do the circumstances
surrounding the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment have limited bearing on this case?
The circumstances surrounding the adoption of the 14th amendment has limited bearing on the
Brown v. Board of education case because the 14th amendment does not have anything to do
with this case. The 14th amendment didn’t apply to the Brown decision because it cannot
identify a compelling reason to maintain different educational systems. The court recognized
that it was insufficient to decide the issue at hand.
Reading 3, Question 2: Why does the Supreme Court reject its own precedent in
Plessy v. Ferguson?
On what kind of evidence or logic does its argument rest?
The Supreme Court rejects its own precedent in the decision because the court realized
seperation when it comes to education, it still was unequal. Regardless of race, every child needs
a proper education to prosper in their life, and it is unfair how society treats black children today.
