Answer 2

The correct answer is B. The New Frontier was President Kennedy's plan for legislation to address civil rights and other domestic reforms.

Step-by-step explanation:

The New Frontier was the political motto advocated by John F. Kennedy, at the Los Angeles Democratic Convention, July 14, 1960, during the United States presidency mandate conference to indicate the frontiers of science and space. In a period of internal economic stagnation and a strong contrast with the Soviet Union, Kennedy said: "We stand today on the edge of a New Frontier—the frontier of the 1960s, the frontier of unknown opportunities and perils, the frontier of unfilled hopes and unfilled threats". From that time this expression summarized the renewing political action initiated by the Kennedy administration, both in the relaxation and disarmament of nuclear weapons, and in domestic politics with the projects of war on poverty and unemployment, a material and physical wellbeing more solid and more widely distributed, the laws in favor of education and the provision of law against racial discrimination in public places, in schools of all levels, in the armed forces and in public and state enterprises, to reinforce the struggles for civil rights started by the protest movement of African Americans.
