Answer to Question 2

An ideal response will:

2. Discuss how America's geographic isolation allowed it to develop relatively free from the interference of other major powers.
3. Discuss how the United States has been relatively safe from attack within its continental borders, with rare exceptions, those being the War of 1812 and the terrorist strikes at the World Trade Center in 1993 and 2001.
4. Explain how America's geographic isolation may be less important because of the changing nature of threats (terrorists) and advances in technology.
5. Present an argument as to whether de Tocqueville's observation remains correct in light of the previous points.
