Northern transportation industries boomed during the conflict as well-particularly railroads. The North's larger number of track

s
and better ability to construct and move parts gave it a distinct advantage over the South. Union forces moving south or west to
fight often rode to battle on trains traveling on freshly lain tracks. In fact, as Northern forces traveled further south to fight and
occupy the Confederacy, the War Department created the United States Military Railroads, designed to build rails to carry troops
and supplies as well as operating captured Southern rail lines and equipment. By war's end, it was the world's largest railroad
system.

How does the rule of law remain constant through changes and growth in society?
hodyreva [135]

Answer:Other important determinants of well-being, such as the proportion of a country that is tropical and the proportion that is urban, as well as economic freedom and the rule of law, are included in the multiple regression estimates. Thus, the sensitivity of poverty and environmental factors to population growth is examined with other factors held constant. Measures of the sensitivity of human well-being–the elasticities of these measures–in response to population growth can be calculated. Norton shows that characteristics such as a nation’s economic freedom and its legal framework are more important in determining the quality of human life and the environment than is population growth

The rule of law is defined in the Oxford English Dictionary as: "The authority and influence of law in society, especially when viewed as a constraint on individual and institutional behavior; (hence) the principle whereby all members of a society (including those in government) are considered equally subject to publicly disclosed legal codes and processes."[2] The term "rule of law" is closely related to "constitutionalism" as well as "Rechtsstaat", and refers to a political situation, not to any specific legal rule

The rule of law implies that every person is subject to the law, including people who are lawmakers, law enforcement officials, and judges.[8] In this sense, it stands in contrast to tyranny or oligarchy where the rulers are held above the law.[citation needed] Lack of the rule of law can be found in both democracies and monarchies, for example when there is neglect or ignorance of the law. The rule of law is more apt to decay if a government has insufficient corrective mechanisms for restoring it.

Explanation:

Most legal theorists believe that the rule of law has purely formal characteristics. For instance, such theorists claim that law requires generality (general rules that apply to classes of persons and behaviors as opposed to individuals), publicity (no secret laws), prospective application (little or no retroactive laws), consistency (no contradictory laws)[38], equality (applied equally throughout all society), and certainty (certainty of application for a given situation), but formalists contend that there are no requirements with regard to the content of the law. Others, including a few legal theorists, believe that the rule of law necessarily entails protection of individual rights. Within legal theory, these two approaches to the rule of law are seen as the two basic alternatives, respectively labelled the formal and substantive approaches. Still, there are other views as well. Some believe that democracy is part of the rule of law.

Fundamentally it means that there is an appropriate system through which things must be done, and all, including those who lead, must follow it. It is important, because if we do not follow the rule of law, we have chaos. Here in the US, it is the rule of law which allows us to have our Republic.

The Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen _____.
Eddi Din [679]
The correct answers are options #2 and 3.

The Declaration of the Rights of Man was a French document in which male citizens established what natural rights they have. This was very similar to the American Declaration of Independence, which was made 13 years before the Declaration of the Rights of Man.

Within this document, the French established that men are born equal and free, that people should be employed based on their skill set, and the ability to do what they want so long as they do not hurt others (like practice their own religion).

This was one of several documents during the late 1800's that established rights that all citizens should have within a country.
