Which work by Woodrow Wilson promotes self-determination, free trade, and international cooperation?

• A. Fourteen Points
• B. New Freedom
• C. Four Freedoms
• D. Pledge of Allegiance

Answer: (A)

The main idea being tested is recognizing which Woodrow Wilson work laid out a plan for self-determination, free trade, and international cooperation. The correct work is Fourteen Points. In that speech from 1918, Wilson argued for letting peoples determine their own political futures (self-determination), removing trade barriers and ensuring open markets (free trade), and creating a framework for international collaboration to maintain peace—primarily through the proposal to establish a general association of nations that would consult and resolve disputes (a precursor to the League of Nations). Other options reflect different contexts. New Freedom is Wilson’s domestic reform agenda focused on antitrust action, banking, and tariff reform, not international governance. The Four Freedoms refers to Franklin D. Roosevelt’s 1941 speech about fundamental freedoms, not Wilson. The Pledge of Allegiance is a civic oath, not a policy document.
