The answer about the "Wilson's War Message to Congress" is:

f. The comparison hopes to change the way governments look at decisions of war.

Explanation:

Firstly, I enclose part of the words spoken by former President Wilson before the congress:

"We are not against the German people, but the military despotism of Germany. We must fight to safeguard democracy. It is terrible to throw this great and peaceful people into a war, the most terrible and disastrous that has ever existed, since the existence of the same civilization is aired in it. But law is more valuable than peace, and we are going to fight for those things that have always been more expensive to our hearts: for the right that the governed have to have their voices heard in the government itself, for the rights and freedoms of small nations and by a law-based organization, integrated by a cordial alliance between free peoples, that offers peace and security to all nations and finally gives freedom to the world ... "

As you can see at the beginning of the words by former President Wilson, his words did not hope to encourage any kind of war, but to mention that one should think more about the German people and if, fighting was required, The United States of America would be willing to to do it but for the right reason, which would be to safeguard democracy against the tyranny of a dictatorship.
