Question 6 (1 point) What prompted Congress to pass the War Powers Resolution? a Decisions made by the executive branch during the Korean and Vietnam Wars b Fears that renewed conflict in the Middle East would require the United States to defend Israel c Limits on the authority of the chief executive imposed by an international tribunal d Rulings issued by the Supreme Court that banned deployment of U.S, combat forces without a declaration of war

## Step 1<br />The War Powers Resolution, also known as the War Powers Act, was passed by the U.S. Congress in 1973. This was a response to the Vietnam War, which was a conflict that the U.S. Congress did not declare war on.<br />## Step 2<br />The War Powers Resolution was passed to limit the president's power to commit the U.S. to an armed conflict without the consent of the U.S. Congress. This was a direct response to the decisions made by the executive branch during the Korean and Vietnam Wars.<br />## Step 3<br />The other options, such as fears that renewed conflict in the Middle East would require the United States to defend Israel, limits on the authority of the chief executive imposed by an international tribunal, and rulings issued by the Supreme Court that banned deployment of U.S. combat forces without a declaration of war, are not the primary reasons for the passage of the War Powers Resolution.
