Explanation:

The Clear Water Act or Federal Water Pollution Act (FWPA) was passed in 1972 to prevent and limit the pollution of rivers and streams and to protect the water bodies from fire. It is known as the first  and the most influential environmental law of America. But before 1972, as such there was no effective law regarding the protection of rivers and streams  thats why Cuyahoga River got polluted and caught fire repeatedly from 1868-1969 and cause the damage of $1.5 million.

In what ways did the Han Dynasty change policies that the Qin dynasty established?
Lady_Fox [76]

The Han Dynasty changed a few notable policies that were established.

1) The Qin Dynasty banned Confucianism (belief that people are naturally good) and rather focused on Legalism, but the Han dynasty lifted the ban and allowed it to be practiced once again. The Han Dynasty used Confucianism as a model by which to govern.

2)  The Han Dynasty reversed the autocratic policies of the Qin Dynasty. The Qin Dynasty was ruled by a single emperor (which is an autocracy) but the Han Dynasty allowed several leaders to rule and have power rather than one man.

I'm sure there are more, but these ones should do. Hope this helps! :)
