Identify and describe the significance of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers should identify the treaty as the 1999 international treaty and agreement to outlaw testing of nuclear weapons. Answers could explain that more than fifty governments ratified the treaty and that the vote in the Senate was 48–51 against ratification. Answers should show that the treaty was significant because it highlighted the Senate’s ability to check foreign policy issues and the importance of party politics in Congress. Exemplary answers will identify this rejection as part of the “new isolationism” movement in Congress following the Cold War.
