Reduces their power--elites in Latin America control economic and political aspects of society. Reforms would provide more groups with rights, reducing the influence of the elite.

In any country, elites often control the means of production and the political system. Reforms, especially coming from lower classes or oppressed groups, would potentially reduce the power and influence the elite group has. This has been true through many revolutionary movements.

Describe three inventions that occurred during the Industrial Revolution. How did these inventions change business and/or lives?
hammer [34]

In 1775, James Watt's steam engine sparked the Industrial Revolution by creating a new mechanism for powering locomotives and machinery. This made it possible to build factories and run machinery even when no water power was available. It also inspired Robert Fulton to launch steamboats on the Hudson River in 1807, opening the door for transatlantic travel. The steam engine led to the development of the electric motor in 1888 and the diesel engine in 1892, which fueled the development of the auto industry.

Samuel Morse invented the telegraph in 1836, a major technological development in communication. This device used electromagnetic currents to create codes that could be transmitted great distances via paper strips, leading Cyrus Field to invent the transatlantic cable in 1866, and Alexander Graham Bell to make the first telephone call in 1876.

Other developments of the Industrial Revolution that increased industrial productivity were Eli Whitney's cotton gin in 1798, Elias Howe's sewing machine in 1844, and Thomas Edison's harnessing of electricity to create the first light bulb in 1879.

Answer:

<em>The interest groups on the first Amendment allowed people to assemble together to speak their opinions and rights.</em>

<em>In 1971 the Federal Election Campaign Act was passed, setting limits on how people donate money in public disclosure of campaign.</em>

Explanation:

<em>People or individual would concur with me that interest groups under the Constitution have their right to encourage  a particular point of view. What most people do not agree at some point, however, this is  the level  that some interest group influence activities  preserved under the First constitution, </em>

<em> In addition to rights of  free speech the First constitution allows people the right to come together. for example  pluralists states that assembling in groups is normal and that people will tend to move toward others with same views</em>

<em>As of today, the debate about interest groups often circulates around whether the First Amendment shields the rights of groups and individuals to lend money, and if  government can control the use of this money. </em>

<em>In 1971, the Federal Election Campaign Act was passed, setting limits on how much money presidential and vice-presidential candidates and their families could provide for their own campaigns.it also made unions and cooperation's to form PACs and expected  public disclosure of campaign donations and their sources. </em>

<em>In 1 the year 1974, the act was modified in a way to control the amount of money used on congressional campaigns. </em>
