It was a oil-exporting nation and it lost too much of an important resource, thus crippling the economy.

The "Oil Glut" of the 1980s was a surplus of oil supply caused by the reduced demand due to the 1970s Energy Crisis. After reaching a historical peak of $35 in 1980, the price of the oil barrel would sharply fall from $27 to less than $10 in 1986 due to the excess in the offer. This would severely affect the economic wealth of the Oil producing countries, such as the Soviet Union. This event would be one of the main factors that contributed to an eventual fall of the Soviet regime and dissolution of the country in 1991.

How did the Supreme Court define the role of the federal government in Marbury v. Madison (1803) and McCulloch v. Maryland (1819
drek231 [11]
Hi there!

Marbury v. Madison and McCulloch v. Maryland are some of the earliest examples of landmark cases in the history of the Supreme Court. Their decisions, which have had lasting impacts on the interpretation of the Constitution, are vital to todays understanding of the federal government.

Marbury v. Madison established the policy of judicial review. Judicial review holds that the court has the power to declare acts of Congress unconstitutional should it be inconsistent with the Constitution. This put a sizable check on the power of Congress to pass laws and established the power of the court in the new government.

McCulloch v. Maryland established that when it comes to clashes between state laws and federal laws, federal laws will always trump state laws except for a few rare exceptions. This reaffirmed the power of the new national government and the broad sweeping power it had over the states.
