The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.

You did not specify the moment in US history of this scenario, but we can assume you are talking about the Pearl Harbor attack of December 1941.

FDR choose to go before the entire Congress rather than simply call the congressional leaders to the White House for a briefing because he considered that the historic moment needed a speech before Congress, being one of the branches of the Federal government, and to ask for a declaration of war against Germany.

After the Japanese Air Force attacked the ships on the Navy base of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, President Woodrow Wilson decided to drop the foreign policy of neutrality and to participate in World War II. The US entered WWII on December 11, 1941.

The FDR chose to go before the Congress which is a separate branch of the Federal Government as there was a need felt to deliver a speech before the congress before declaring a war against Germany.

The incident happened during the World War II in the early 1940s during the times when the tensions were increasing between the nations like USA, Japan and Germany.

  • Japan air force and navy took on a heavy attack at the Pearl Harbor and thereby causing an atmosphere of tensions between the nations. This attack was carried out by Germany who helped Japan.

  • After this USA went under the mindset of revenge after the Japanese got help from nations like Germany and hence went towards the declaration of war against Germany.

Hence, the FDR chose to go before the entire congress declaring a speech which included an agenda of war against Germany.
