2. Continental Congress
1. Paper Notes
3. Inflation
Explanation:
- During the Revolutionary War, in order to finance the army led by General George Washington, the Continental Congress approved in 1775 the unlimited issuance of paper money, known as the "Continental".
- Because they were out of cover, they soon became worthless. Since then, there is even the phrase "Not worth a continental" in America
.
- With the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the word "United States" appeared on paper money for the first time, but because of the demise of the Continental, people were suspicious of that money.
- That is why the Continental Congress established the Bank of North America, the first commercial bank in Philadelphia in 1781, and introduced the dollar as a national currency four years later to replace those in the individual colonies. The dollar was forged in silver.

Explanation:
In the 1970s, the supply of gas was affected by price controls imposed by the Nixon administration and then by an oil embargo by Arab members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).
As a political move aimed at pleasing voters, President Richard Nixon announced in 1971 (prior to his reelection campaign of 1972), "I am today ordering a freeze on all prices and wages throughout the United States.” The wage and price controls the Nixon administration sought to put in place interfered with natural market forces and oil supplies were reduced. That problem was magnified in 1973 when oil exporting countries in the Arab world imposed an embargo on supplies to the United States due to US support of Israel in a war that Israel was fighting against a coalition of Arab states.
Both factors -- lingering efforts at price controls and continued control of the oil and gas market by OPEC nations -- played into the long lines at gas pumps seen in America in the 1970s.
