Question

2 multiple choice 3 points why did many americans oppose u.s. actions in the philippines? it was too expensive the philippines had no resources it contradicted american ideals of freedom spain was still involved clear my selection

Explanation:

Opponents of U.S. intervention in the Philippines argued that colonizing the nation went against the foundational American values of self-determination and freedom, which were central to the country's origin story of breaking from colonial rule. The other options are incorrect: the intervention had financial costs but this was not the primary opposition driver; the Philippines did have valuable resources; and Spain was defeated in the Spanish-American War and no longer involved in the territory when the main opposition arose.

Answer:

It contradicted American ideals of freedom
