The blank located in the blank branch is responsible for synthesizing the messages coming out of the foreign policy establishment to the president make his or her own foreign policy

The blanks (indicated by the word "blank" in the text) are filled as follows:

"The National Security Council in the Executive branch is responsible..."

The president relies on the advice of the National Security Council to form U.S. foreign policy. This organism is composed by the vice-president, secretary of state, secretary of defense, head of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. It was introduced by former president of the U.S.A., Harry S. Truman, after disbanding the National Intelligence Authority (NIA), which served the same purpose.

        i'm fairly sure that the correct answers are 2 and 3.

        i used both my knowledge of world history and the process of elimination to obtain these answers. option 1 cannot be a possible selection because the mandate of heaven belongs to ancient chinese philosophical belief. option 4 sounds like it would benefit the region than detriment it. however, both 2 and 3 explain a potential reason for what could have contributed to the fall of the roman empire.

      hope this ! if i were you, i'd get a second opinion, because i haven't taken this course for a year. best of luck!
