The Department of Homeland Security describes its mission as ensuring "a homeland that is safe, secure, and resilient against terrorism and other hazards."
The Homeland Security Act of 2002 (Title I, Section 101), listed the top three priorities of the Department of Homeland Security as:
- (A) prevent terrorist attacks within the United States;
- (B) reduce the vulnerability of the United States to terrorism;
- (C) minimize the damage, and assist in the recovery from terrorist attacks that do occur within the United States;
Also listed as part of Homeland Security's mission is that it will "monitor connections between illegal drug trafficking and terrorism, coordinate efforts to sever such connections, and otherwise contribute to efforts to interdict illegal drug trafficking."
The Department of Homeland Security also acts "as a focal point regarding natural and manmade crises and emergency planning," and works to coordinate efforts between various agencies and law enforcement agencies in order to achieve its security goals. According to the Department of Homeland Security's own website, the Department of Homeland Security combines "22 different federal departments and agencies into a unified, integrated Cabinet agency."

Answer:
solving abolition for all slaves both in the North and South
Explanation:
The Emancipation Proclamation helped the United States get to total abolition of slavery. With the Emancipation Proclamation, the goal of the war also included freeing slaves to preserve the Union. Even though the Emancipation Proclamation first only freed slaves in more liberal states, near the end of the war, the Emancipation Proclamation influenced and prepared citizens to advocate and accept abolition for all slaves in both the North and South. Then, the 13th Amendment (that abolished slavery in the USA) was finally passed in December of 1865 as a result of this.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Free market economies still have some government regulation, like minimum wage laws and workplace safety laws. Considering the goals of businesses and companies these regulations are important because they establish a common ground to operate in similar conditions, not allowing one country or another the advantage that other nations do not have. These regulations allow the participant countries to operate under fair rules for everybody. That is the case -for instance of NAFTA, the North America Free Trade Agreement that was signed in 1992 by the presidents of México, the United States, and Canada. Recently, the agreement has been reviewed by the three governments, and now it jas a new name: USMCA, the United States, México, and Canada Agreement. The Congresses of these countries have discussed new policies and negotiated new agreements that offer the three nations better conditions in different fields of the agreement.
