  • Schenck v. United States (1919) is a US Supreme Court case in which Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes concluded that the defendants, who were distributing fliers urging resistance to the draft, could be convicted of an attempt to obstruct the draft. This is a criminal offense. Holmes argued that these actions were intended to result in a crime (resisting the draft) and posed a <em>"clear and present danger"</em> of succeeding.
  • Abrams v. United States (1919) is a US Supreme Court case in which the defendants were convicted on the basis of two leaflets they threw from windows in New York City. The leaflets denounced the war effort and advocated the cessation of production of weapons used against Soviet Russia.

In the second case, Justice Holmes dissented from the majority, and ruled differently than in the case of Schenck v. United States. Holmes rejected the idea that the leaflets represented a "clear and present danger" like in the previous case. He argued that the defendants did not have the specific intent to interfere with the war in Germany, and that they seemed to be prosecuted not for their speech, but for their beliefs.

Describe the role of trade routes in the Eastern Mediterranean, and then give your opinion as to why the Phoenicians were so suc
gtnhenbr [62]
The role that tradition especially assigns to the Phoenicians as the merchants of the Levant was first developed on a considerable scale at the time of the Egyptian 18th dynasty. The position of Phoenicia, at a junction of both land and sea routes, under the protection of Egypt, favoured this development, and the discovery of the alphabet and its use and adaptation for commercial purposes assisted the rise of a mercantile society. A fresco in an Egyptian tomb of the 18th dynasty depicted seven Phoenician merchant ships that had just put in at an Egyptian port to sell their goods, including the distinctive Canaanite wine jars in which wine, a drink foreign to the Egyptians, was imported.<span>

Describe the Texas oil industry when oil was first discovered in Texas.
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

The Texas oil boom, sometimes called the gusher age, was a period of dramatic change and economic growth in the U.S. state of Texas during the early 20th century that began with the discovery of a large petroleum reserve near Beaumont, Texas. The find was unprecedented in its size (worldwide) and ushered in an age of rapid regional development and industrialization that has few parallels in U.S. history. Texas quickly became one of the leading oil-producing states in the U.S., along with Oklahoma and California; soon the nation overtook the Russian Empire as the top producer of petroleum. By 1940 Texas had come to dominate U.S. production. Some historians even define the beginning of the world's Oil Age as the beginning of this era in Texas.[1]
