President Roosevelt declined to invoke the Neutrality Acts because they worked to the advantage of aggressors. Explain this position.

True

Explanation:

His position was that this aggressors (such as Germany) benefitted from the fact the US did not send military aid to countries that were vulnerable to their attack, and they took advantage of the embargo of the Neutrality Act.

President Roosevelt thus requested an amendment to this law which later ease some restrictions embargo and gave the the President more powers.

It ensures the United State keeps trade with the aggressor state.

Explanation:

To begin with, Neutrality Acts state that a President can announce the existence of a foreign war. In this wise, US citizens are disenfranchised from sailing to the bellicose state, sailing or transporting munitions to the bellicose, or making credit to the bellicose. Suffix to say, this actually angered the bellicose, until when later reviewed.

The scenario that the neutrality acts worked to the advantage of the aggressors can be found in the Japanese aggression to China, when the former touched an explosion in the region. The then President of the United State, refused to call the incident a 'declared war', thus no invocation of the neutrality acts.

With this, the USA continues to sell it's war supplies and materials to the Japanese - an aggressor state. This would otherwise be impossible if the neutrality acts has been invoked.
