Which statement explains why congress authorized arms sales to any nation that could pay in cash and arrange transportation? a. to the united states build up its wartime production capabilities b. to ensure that naval warfare would not affect the american shipping industry c. to allow u. s. trade to continue during wartime without drawing the nation into war d. to give the united states control over the arms build-ups in europe and asia

The correct answer is C) To allow US trade to continue during wartime without drawing the nation into war.

At the beginning of World War II, the US did not want to get involved in European affairs. This is why the US government initially adopted a policy of isolationism. Even though the US did not want to get involved in the war, they did not want trade to stop.

This is why president Franklin D. Roosevelt and Congress passed the Lend-Lease Act. This allowed the US to sell and lend ammunition, guns, and other wartime materials to members of the Allied Powers (like Great Britain and France).

s the president shall be commander in chief of the army and navy of the united states, and of the militia of the several states, when called into the actual service of the united states; he may require the opinion, in writing, of the principal officer in each of the executive departments. sooo yeahhh
