What is the difference between a utilitarian and a libertarian defense of the free market?
ICE Princess25 [194]

<u>Answer:</u>

Libertarianism and utilitarianism are in opposition to one another. In utilitarianism, individuals accept that an activity that produces satisfaction is the thing that one ought to go. Utilitarians could not care less whether what they are doing occupies someone else's privileges. While, in libertarianism, an individual's activity for bliss ought not to disregard someone else's rights. Libertarians’ esteem activities that advance reasonableness and equity in the general public dissimilar to the practical actions that now and again damages decency and fairness.

What are the three parts of the executive branch?
Greeley [361]

The three parts of the executive power are: the President, who is the head of the government as well as the armed forces. According to the constitution he is the guarantor of the application of the laws. Among its executive powers, it can enact executive orders, which have legal validity for federal bodies. The Vice President is the second office of the government and in case of death, resignation, destruction or serious impediments takes the place of the President. This fact has happened only nine times in American history. He is the president of the Senate and has the power to resolve any disputes with his vote. The Cabinet of Government is made up of 15 departments nominated by the President and the Senate which must be confirmed and / or rejected by a simple majority vote. The members of the Cabinet are responsible for directing departments (also called ministries) including those of Justice and the Department of Defense.

The president who used the slogan "The dollar stops here" is Harry S.Truman. Truman was born in 1884 and died in 1972 and was both vice president and 33 president of the United States of America from 1945 to 1953 under the Democratic party. Truman remembers especially for the atomic bombing on Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of the 2nd world war, the cold war with Russia and the Korean war, and the war in Vietnam.

The saying "the dollar stops here" comes from the slang expression "pass the time", meaning how to pass the responsibility. President Truman understood it as "the decision must be taken" in the sense that nothing but the president (whoever he is) must make the decisions! So this slogan symbolizes the heavy responsibility that weighs on the shoulders of the President and by extension of all those people who have executive power in the nation.

Which statement best compares attitudes of the north and south during the civil war
vladimir2022 [97]

North .  The northern soil and climate favored smaller farmsteads rather than large plantations. Industry flourished, fueled by more abundant natural resources than in the South, and many large cities were established (New York was the largest city with more than 800,000 inhabitants). By 1860, one quarter of all Northerners lived in urban areas. Between 1800 and 1860, the percentage of laborers working in agricultural pursuits dropped drastically from 70% to only 40%. Slavery had died out, replaced in the cities and factories by immigrant labor from Europe. In fact an overwhelming majority of immigrants, seven out of every eight, settled in the North rather than the South. Transportation was easier in the North, which boasted more than two-thirds of the railroad tracks in the country and the economy was on an upswing.  South .   The fertile soil and warm climate of the South made it ideal for large-scale farms and crops like tobacco and cotton. Because agriculture was so profitable few Southerners saw a need for industrial development. Eighty percent of the labor force worked on the farm. Although two-thirds of Southerners owned no slaves at all, by 1860 the South's "peculiar institution" was inextricably tied to the region's economy and culture. In fact, there were almost as many blacks - but slaves and free - in the South as there were whites (4 million blacks and 5.5 million whites). There were no large cities aside from New Orleans, and most of the ones that did exist were located on rivers and coasts as shipping ports to send agricultural produce to European or Northern destinations.

Only one-tenth of Southerners lived in urban areas and transportation between cities was difficult, except by water.  Only 35% of the nation's train tracks were located in the South. Also, in 1860, the South's agricultural economy was beginning to stall while the Northern manufacturers were experiencing a boom.   The economic differences between the North and South contributed to the rise of regional populations with contrasting values and visions for the future.
