Question

Sorry, I have two other questions that are quite difficult to decide on.

The first one is:
Why did the Kennedy Administration begin to act on civil rights after Project C in Birmingham, Alabama?

A. President Kennedy needed congregational support for his legislative agenda. (I'm 95% sure it's this one)

B. The Supreme Court ordered the executive branch to protect civil rights.

C. The violence against protestors had been televised nationally (80% on this one)

I'm stuck between A and C; however, A seems to make the most sense to me.

The second question is:
According to his "Letter from Birmingham Jail," what did Martin Luther King, Jr., believe?

A. African Americans should continue working for civil rights. (95% sure on this answer)

B. African American protestors should not be subject to laws regarding protests.

C. New laws should provide exceptions for the injustices that African Americans had suffered.

D. One has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws. (75% percent sure on this answer).

A and D are a bit tricky, but I'm leaning towards A because I feel like that's what his belief was.

Thank you.

1. C. The violence was televised and infuriated many of the watchers.

2. Both could be right. What does your text say?

That makes me feel better, because my teacher had explained to me that there were going to be two right answers in a couple of questions. Looking at my textbook, it talks more about A's reason. So I'll go with that one.
Thank you once again for your help, Ms. Sue!
