Answer:

Consumerism is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Calvin Coolidge was the 30th president of the US and served from 1924 till 1929. During his presidency, the US economy grew and unemployment declined. His government followed the policy of laissez-faire and administered lower income tax, cut spending and limited the federal regulation of the economy. Due to these the federal debt and budget deficit shrank and the economy boomed. His approach to the economy is considered to be the cause of the great depression. The prosperity in the 1920s led to the new patterns of consumption and rise in the purchase of consumer goods like radios, cars and beauty products. The credit system allowed people to buy a things which were out of their reach.

Match each outcome with a weakness of the Articles of Confederation.

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Congress was not given any power to tax the people

No taxes=no money to run the country

2. Congress had no power to enforce its own laws in the states

No enforcement=people in various states doing what they want

3. Congress could not make states follow trade agreements with other nations

Bad trading relations with other counties = no international trade

4. Congress could not regulate trade between the states.

High trading taxes between states = difficulty trading goods = slow business = lost jobs

5. Citizens in states thought their property rights were being violated

Violated property rights = need for national government to check the states

6. There was no national court system

No national court system = different systems by state = confusion in the justice system Interstate issues would have no courts to go to on the federal level No means of checking the laws of the legislature

7. There was no executive branch for the central government

This means there was no President or party responsible for enforcing laws; no authority behind the laws There was no figure head for the government No means of checking the policies created by the legislature (what happens when all power is in one branch of government?)

8. It required a unanimous vote to make changes to the Articles

This made it very difficult to make any changes to the Articles

9. Many farmers lost their farms and homes; some were even put in prison As a result, local farmers, led by Daniel Shays decided to rebel by shutting down the courts using force - they even raided a federal arsenal to take weapons for their rebellion

The purpose of this meeting was "for the sole and express purpose of revising the Articles of Confederation"...but they ended up creating a new U.S. Constitution.

in what way does jefferson emphasize that the colonists complaints are against the king of england not against the british peopl

Leokris [45]

The main way in which Jefferson does this is to use the phrase "we the people" when writing the Declaration of Independence, since this can be meant to mean the people of the entire world.

Answer:

Everyone loved Quince and Bottom's play, making it the favorite of the night.

Explanation:

In "A Midsummer Night's Dream" we are introduced to Bottom and Quince, two playwrights who are rehearsing a play with a theater company. In scene two of act four we learn that their play was a success and that everyone who watched it loved it, in addition to saying that it was the best play that night. We can draw that conclusion, after Bottom says to Quince: "We meet in the palace; let everyone pass on their papers, because, to say everything in a nutshell, our play was the favorite."
