Best Answer

Elected president in 1960, Kennedy had campaigned on an idealistic New Frontier platform. The president believed that by showing the world what a free and democratic society had to offer, the United States could ensure the defeat of Communism.

Kennedy said, "The New Frontier is not a set of promises - it is a set of challenges. It sums up not what I intend to offer the American People but what I intend to ask of them"! That is how the famous words came about, "My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country! "
