Question

which of the following best describes the protests at the 1968 democratic convention in chicago? anti - war protestors beat chicago police and attacked them with tear gas. anti - war democrats had no candidate, so they protested at the convention. pro - war protestors beat chicago police and attacked them with tear gas. pro - civil rights democrats had no candidate, so they protested at the convention.

Explanation:

The 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago was met with anti - war protests. The protesters were against the Vietnam War. It was the anti - war protesters who clashed with the police, not the other way around as described in some incorrect options. The main issue for the protesters was the war, not lack of a civil - rights or pro - war candidate.

Answer:

None of the above options are entirely accurate. However, the closest correct idea is that anti - war protesters clashed with Chicago police. The police used force against the anti - war protesters, not the other way around as stated in the first option. If we must choose from the given options, the most relevant is that anti - war Democrats had no candidate they fully supported in the context of the war, so they protested at the convention (though this is an oversimplification). But strictly speaking, the best answer would be that none of these precisely describe the events.
