<span>The Interstate Commerce Act was to monitor railroad operations. During the 1870s a number of countries tested numerous programs developed to regulate railroad rates and practices, and those subjects were also repeatedly examined by the Congress. In 1886 the Supreme Court held, in the Wabash Case, that state governments could not regulate federal shipments within their borders. In response to that decision, Congress adopted the first federal program for regulating private business which is the Interstate Commerce Act. While, the Sherman Antitrust Act, it is an act passed by the U.S. Congress in 1890 to battle monopoly and inappropriate restraints on competition. It was also to break up bad trusts that were affecting the economy. But, it was unsuccessful because there was no clear meaning as to what a trust or bad trust was. So it was later replaced with the Clayton Antitrust Act.</span>

The Parabellum-Pistole (Pistol Parabellum), is a semiautomatic pistol operated by recoil. There were three types of general-purpose pistols: revolvers, automatic pistols, and semiautomatic pistols. The rifle, became the most crucial infantry weapon, of the battlefields.

16. How did Socrates lay the foundation for Plato's writings?
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

How Socrates laid the foundation for Plato's writings is:

B. Socrates began a school where he educated students like Plato, laying the foundations for his own branch of philosophy.

Explanation:

Plato (428 - 348) learned from Socrates (470—399 b.c.).  Socrates emphasized importance of ethics and politics for an individual to achieve correct living.  In his teachings and thoughts, Socrates questioned everything.  When he was imprisoned for his socratic ways and philosophies, Plato concentrated his attention and writings on living a virtuous life, as taught by Socrates.  However, since Socrates emphasized face to face communication, Plato toiled with the idea of writing down the socratic ethics and politics.  He had many philosophical writings attributed to him, especially on metaphysics and epistemology.  Plato was the teacher of Aristotle (384 - 322 b.c.).
