Primarily agricultural economies presided in the middle colonies, where foodstuffs were grown and fishing was done along the coasts. Furthermore, logging and animal trapping and hunting (for food and furs) also contributed to the economy.
The theories of Hamilton are most persuasive when upholding Legal procedure.

One of its main themes of the Washington government was the clash between Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson on the organization of a two-party system,
Hamilton's strategy for the National Bank formed a controversy along the same lines,
Hamilton and the Federalists supporting the National Bank, while Jefferson and the Democratic-Republicans opposed it.
This makes sense to give Parliament the freedom to act and understanding necessary to deal with different situations.
Yet, as Jefferson suggests, the laws that grant Congress so much authority if the legal system shall not be upheld. Recall that for Jefferson he advocated the Constitution's act, so the clause was not as meaningful for him as the Amendment could be amended to respond to new needs.
The severity of the destruction caused by the fire could have been prevented had the company taken necessary precautions. Despite the obvious flaws in fire safety and recent warning notice from the NY Board of Sanitary Control, little was done to correct the facility's violations. New York was a booming industrial economy in the early 1900's and many factories faced tough competition. The result was often cutting corners and violating building codes in order to turn a profit. There were two major flaws in the Triangle shirtwaist factory building. First, there was only one fire escape even though two more were needed. Second, all the exits had doors that opened inwardly rather than out. As women ran down the fire escape, it began to buckle under their weight. There were two exits and two elevators located on each end (Green Street and Washington Place) of the flat on the ninth floor. The Greene Street stairway was blocked by flames, and the Washington Place stairway was locked. It had become common practice for the factory to lock the Washington Place to prevent employee theft. As a result, the only escape routes left for victims were the elevators.
The ineffectiveness of the firemen revealed many flaws in the fire department that would later be addressed. For example, had the ladder been long enough to reach the top three floors and the water pressure strong enough to reach the floors, many of the victims could have survived the event. A few years after the incident, the fire department developed a stronger water pump and added an extra ladder as a precaution.
After the fire, the owners of Triangle Shirtwaist factory, Harris and Blanck, were brought to court on charges of manslaughter but were eventually acquitted. They were fined $75 for each life lost. However their insurance policy paid them a total of $60,000, at the rate of $400 per life lost, so they actually profited from the tragedy. After two years, they continued to lock the doors to exits and were fined for several safety code violations. However this event heralded the birth of the Labor Movement. It brought numerous laws on safety, brakes for workers and wages.
Sputnik I was the world's first ever artificial satellite that launched by the Soviet Union in 1957. This marked the start of the "space age" which pushed the race between the US and the USSR in the field. Because of this "competition", many scientific discoveries were made to study and even travel to outer space.
