Degger [83]1 year ago

Two very particular issues drove Reagan's political conversion: fiscal policy and anti-communism. In the late 1940s, Reagan was facing the end of his career as a movie actor and was finding less and less work. He was upset because he felt that he had only a short window to maximize his earnings and ensure his future financial security and that the present 90% top marginal rate was unreasonable.

Reagan's experience as a board member and later president of the Screen Actors Guild also moved him politically rightward. In this professional capacity he dealt with a strike by a set builder union backed by communist sympathizers.

Explanation:

Sir Isaac Newton PRS (25 December 1642 – 20 March 17 march )was an English mathematician, physicist, astronomer, theologian, and author who is widely recognised as one of the most influential scientists of all time and as a key figure in the scientific revolution. His book Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica (Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy), first published in 1687, established classical mechanics. Newton also made seminal contributions to optics, and shares credit with Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz for developing the infinitesimal calculus.

Sir Isaac Newton,

Newton built the first practical reflecting telescope and developed a sophisticated theory of colour based on the observation that a prism separates white light into the colours of the visible spectrum. His work on light was collected in his highly influential book Opticks, published in 1704. He also formulated an empirical law of cooling, made the first theoretical calculation of the speed of sound, and introduced the notion of a Newtonian fluid.

In addition to his work on calculus, as a mathematician Newton contributed to the study of power series, generalised the binomial theorem to non-integer exponents, developed a method for approximating the roots of a function, and classified most of the cubic plane curves.

Newton was a fellow of Trinity College and the second Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge. He was a devout but unorthodox Christian who privately rejected the doctrine of the Trinity. Unusually for a member of the Cambridge faculty of the day, he refused to take holy orders in the Church of England. Beyond his work on the mathematical sciences, Newton dedicated much of his time to the study of alchemy and biblical chronology, but most of his work in those areas remained unpublished until long after his death.

Politically and personally tied to the Whig party, Newton served two brief terms as Member of Parliament for the University of Cambridge, in 1689–90 and 1701–02. He was knighted by Queen Anne in 1705 and spent the last three decades of his life in London, serving as Warden (1696–1699) and Master (1699–1727) of the Royal Mint, as well as president of the Royal Society.

He had great role in revolution.

What does a centrally planned economy oppose that a market economy encourages?
zubka84 [21]

A centrally planned economy opposes individual choice in comparison to a market economy.

In a centrally planned economy, a government entity decides how resources within a society will be distributed. For example, in a perfect centrally planned society, all families with 4 members in the household would receive the exact same products.

However, in a market economy, individuals make decisions for themselves regarding what resources they want/need to purchase. This market economy is based more on the capital (money) that individuals possess.

How did the stamp act tea act and intolerable ascts encourage American colonists to consider revolution against British rule
Flauer [41]
The Stamp Act, Tea Act and Intolerable Acts were put into place without the consent of the colonists. This proved that Britain was not treating them as citizens, but merely as servants to their mother country.

The Americans realized that Britain was not going to stop enacting laws in the colonies this way, and they knew that secession was inevitable.
