Question refers to the excerpt below. "Any government that is willing to assist in the task of recovery will find full cooperation, I am sure,
on the part of the United States Government. Any government which maneuvers to block the
recovery of other countries cannot expect help from us. Furthermore, governments, political
parties, or groups which seek to perpetuate human misery in order to profit therefrom politically or
otherwise will encounter the opposition of the United States." -- From the Marshall Plan, 1947

points)
A)The United States was in a favorable economic position to help Europe recover, which gave it the political
power to direct related international negotiations.
B)The United States was firmly accepted as the leading nation of the world by that point, and other nations
saw its statements as potential threats to their own future security.
C)The United States was eager to restore productivity in its trading partners but did not want to appear
discriminatory when it refused assistance to certain enemies.
D)The United States was attempting to establish itself as a leading international power but lacked the
resources and leadership to back up its stated goals.

Any government that is willing to assist in the task of recovery will find full co-operation I am sure, on the part of the United States Government. ... It would be neither fitting nor efficacious for this Government to undertake to draw up unilaterally a program designed to place Europe on its feet economically.

Explanation:

athenian democracy developed around the fifth century bc in the greek city-state (known as a polis) of athens, comprising the city of athens and the surrounding territory of attica, and is often described as the first known democracy in the world. other greek cities set up democracies, most following the athenian model, but none are as well documented as athens'.

it was a political system of direct democracy, in which participating citizens voted directly on legislation and executive bills. participation was not open to all residents: to vote one had to be an adult, male citizen, i.e., not a foreign resident, a submissive or a woman, and the number of these was "probably no more than 30 percent of the total adult population."[1]

the longest-lasting democratic leader was pericles. after his death, athenian democracy was twice briefly interrupted by oligarchic revolutions towards the end of the peloponnesian war. it was modified somewhat after it was restored under eucleides; the most detailed accounts of the system are of this fourth-century modification rather than the periclean system. democracy was suppressed by the macedonians in 322 bc. the athenian institutions were later revived, but how close they were to a real democracy is debatable. solon (594 bc), cleisthenes (508/7 bc), and ephialtes (462 bc) contributed to the development of athenian democracy. cleisthenes broke up the power of the nobility by organizing citizens into ten groups based on where they lived rather than on their wealth.
