Answer 1

Antiwar protests convinced U.S. leaders that voters did not

support aggressive foreign policy.

Explanation:

• The opposites and conflicts created by the rivalry of the superpowers, in the early 1970s, resulted in an awareness of the necessity of US-Soviet global political cooperation based on respect for each other's interests (the Kissinger Doctrine).
• The US initiated a policy of détente, and in 1972, for the first time, a US president (R. M. Nixon) visited Moscow, when agreements were signed on limiting strategic arms and on the Soviet purchase of American grain.
• The harmonization of the global political activity of the superpower on the basis of respect for national interests and the agreed boundaries of (geo) political action (the so-called Sonnenfeldt Doctrine of 1976) is an attempt to maintain a consensual block bipolarity.
