Who were John F. Kennedy's most important advisors?Answer Choices: A) Ted Sorenson and Robert Kennedy B) Ted Kennedy and Earl Warren C) Lyndon B....

The answer to this is going to depend on what your
textbook or your teacher says.  There are two answers that could possibly be
correct.


B and C are clearly not right.  Earl Warren was
the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.  That is not a political post and he was not an
advisor of Kennedy's.  Johnson was Kennedy's vice president, but the two men were not
close.  Johnson had been chosen for political reasons (because he was from the South)
not because Kennedy really trusted him.


Robert Kennedy was
JFK's Attorney General and brother.  The two brothers were close.  Sorenson did not
really have a specific title, but was one of JFK's closest
advisors.


Both McNamara and Rusk were important members of
JFK's cabinet.  McNamara was Secretary of Defense while Rusk was Secretary of
State.


So it depends on what your book/teacher thinks.  RFK
and Sorenson were personally closer to JFK.  McNamara and Rusk had more important
titles.  So which pair was more important?  It's a subjective
matter.
