Answer 1

None of the provided options accurately describe the belief behind manifest destiny. The belief behind manifest destiny was that it was the destiny and duty of the United States to expand its territory from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. This belief was rooted in the idea of American exceptionalism and the belief that the United States had a unique and superior political, economic, and social system that should be spread across the continent.
