The United States should help other countries, because we have the resources to help. The US shouldn't be like Big Brother and control everything.

What is, and what should be, our relationship with the United Nations?
=List the constitutional powers of the president and compare them with the authority of Congress in foreign affairs. Indicate why it is naive to read the Constitution literally in order to determine which institution has the major responsibility to conduct foreign policy. Explain why the president has a larger role than the Framers intended.=

The constitutional powers of the president in foreign affairs are to make treaties, act as commander-in-chief of the armed forces, and make appointments to various departments that deal with foreign affairs and ambassadors. Congress has the power to accept, modify, or reject a foreign policy proposal from the President. It is also responsible for oversight of treaties and executive agreements, appointments, and appropriations. Another important president/congress relationship regarding foreign policy is the war powers act, as discussed in the previous chapter. It is naïve to read the constitution literally because at the time the Framers were putting it together, the US was not a prominent power in the world and was leaning towards an isolationist foreign policy.

=Explain why checks on the powers of the national government in foreign affairs are primarily political rather than constitutional.=

=Give reasons for the volatility of public opinion on foreign affairs. Explain the advantages that the president obtains when he acts resolutely in crises. Describe the problems that the president may face, using public opinion on the Vietnam War as an example.=

=What are the tools of diplomatic relations, and how have they been used in American history?=
