President Roosevelt presented his declaration of war to Japan in his infamy speech presented to the Congress and the people. The speech was given to inform the people about Japan's war of aggression and to give them assurance of their safety.
The speech effectively made delivered it's message to both Congress and the people.

The correct answer is "both audiences were concerned with the situation because it directly affected the United States.

One of those speeches was addressed to Congress, the other to the United States Citizens. Congress was better informed about the war situation that American citizens. People did not know much about the U.S. military strength. Congress did.

The context of the two speeches given by Franklin D. Roosevelt was that due to an attack by Japan, America had to enter World War II and fight the Axis Powers.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt made one of his most famous speeches to Congress the day after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. On December 8, 1941, he delivered the “Infamy Speech” asking a declaration of war against Japan entering World War II.

Roosevelt created an alliance with France, Great Britain, and the Soviet Union to fight and eventually defeat the Axis powers comprised by Germany, Italy, and Japan.
