By the summer of 1929, the economy was suffering. People had built up massive debt after a decade of fast spending. They could n

ot buy anymore, so factory production slowed. Because of this, factories shut down, and people lost their jobs. With unemployment on the rise, many people had no income. And many people had borrowed money that they now had no way of paying back. Thus, banks began to fail and close their doors. People sold what stocks they had and stopped buying shares. On October 29, 1929, known today as Black Tuesday, the stock market crashed. 16 million shares were sold in one single day. The market lost $14 billion. This caused a panic. People rushed to withdraw any money they had left in banks. For many, it was too late, and they lost their life savings. This was the official start of the nation's worst economic crisis, the Great Depression.
Based on the passage, why did people withdraw their money from banks after Black Tuesday?

What was the gold standard? Which groups of Americans supported it, and which groups opposed it?
Y_Kistochka [10]
<span>The gold standard is a monetary system where a country's currency or paper money has a value directly linked to gold.</span><span><span>The farmers opposed the gold standard because in order to live on their farms, they needed to take out a mortgage on them because they couldn't pay the entire fee by themselves. Thus, farmers were in debt, and a gold AND silver standard would help them by increasing the amount of currency in circulation. Inflation would help debtors because more currency would be produced, therefore the value of each currency would decrease and the value of their debts would similarly decrease, making it easier to pay off. The amount of debt would stay the same, but they would be getting higher wages because of inflation. The wealthy and eastern industrial workers supported a gold standard because inflation would not help them. The wealthy had savings accounts and such, and inflation would lessen the value of their savings. Similarly, the industrial workers might also have a small savings account, but would not have a mortgage on a farm like the westerners (they would live in tenement buildings), so inflation would not have a positive effect on them either. </span> </span>

Does the freedom of speech mean you can say whatever you want,whenever you want ?
ValentinkaMS [17]

  No, the freedom of speech is one of the most important rights in a democracy along with the freedom of press. It allows several voices to rise and be heard. But it does not means that you can say whatever you want whenever you want.

  You can find the foundations of the freedom of speech in the first amendment where it says:

<em>"Amendment I </em>

<em> </em>

<em>Congress </em><em>shall make no law </em><em>respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or </em><em>abridging the freedom of speech</em><em>, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances"  </em>

 But there are exceptions to the rule. You can´t say whatever you want as the supreme court have showed in several cases. From this we can extract some categories where the first amendment doesn´t work:

  • Incitement: When its directed to inciting or producing inminent lawless action.
  • False statements of facts: there are some types of this unprotected according to the supreme court: those said with <em>"sufficiently culpable mental state" </em>can be subject of criminal or civil liability. Secondly libel and slander and finally negligent statements or facts can be subject of civil liability.
  • Offensinve speech

  As a conclusion we can say that the freedom of speech is a fundamental right in a healthy democracy but we must take care of it. We can´t say whatever we want, well actually we can but you have to be responsible of your acts.
