<span>The consolidation of economic power by the wealthiest. Prior to the 16th amendment, direct taxes had to apportioned to the states according to population. There were some exceptions based upon indirect taxes such as tariffs and excise taxes, but in general income from rentals of property were effectively unable to be taxed. The Pollock v. Farmers' Loan & Trust Co., case eased the governments ability to tax, in that it made wages exempt from the apportionment clause, but income via rentals, interest, and dividends were restricted to apportionment and effectively untaxable. The 16th amendment allowed for taxation on those sources of income.</span>

Stalin failed to act quickly on promises to help the U.S. …contributed to mistrust between the nations
andre [41]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.

Stalin failed to act quickly on promises to help the U.S., according to the agreements reached during the Yalta Conference and later in the Potsdam Conference. However, the United States also failed to do things agreed upon during the conferences. Of course, both nations have their own sides of the story. The real thing was that these series of disagreements contributed to mistrust between the nations.

During the so-called Cold War years, the Soviet Union remained in control of Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Romania, Bulgaria, Poland, and Hungary. Stalin considered these countries as a buffer in case the western allies tried to invade the Soviet Union.

The Cold War years was a time in which the United States and teh Soviet Union competed in the arms race, the space race, and in spreading/contain Communism in the world. These generated so many conflicts and wars around the world.

What are your thoughts towards the action of the United States that took away the right of people who were Asian but not Japanes
Elza [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

I think this question is rooted in WWII when the Japanese were being put into interment camps- so I will answer based on that. The United States, regardless of race, has no justification to take away the rights of its citizens. Even in times of war, someone needs to be accused of being a spy with actual hard <em>evidence</em> before they should be subjected to that.
