Basic Answer: In the late 1800s, workers organized unions to solve their problems. Their problems were low wages and unsafe working conditions. ... First, workers formed local unions and later formed national unions. These unions used strikes to try to force employers to increase wages or make working conditions safer.
Four main reasons why the U.S was unprepared for war with Britain were that 1) the Continental Army was wildly undertrained 2) the British Army had far more men 3) the Colonists lacked money for war supplies, and 4) the colonists lacked and meaningful military alliances.
The concept of Mutually Assured Destruction (or M.A.D.) widely discouraged the use of nuclear weapons during the Cold War. As both the Soviet Union and the US expanded their nuclear arsenals and capabilities (such as the invention of ICBMs in the late 50s and early 60s), it became clear that if either one were to launch a nuclear missile at the other, it would be met with an equally devastating retaliatory strike thereby leading to the decimation of both countries.
This is why the efforts of the Reagan Administration to create a Strategic Defense Initiative (dubbed Star Wars) that could effectively <em>block </em>a retaliatory strike were met with fear on the part of the Soviet Union: if the US could block the Soviet Missiles, then the <em>Mutual </em>piece of Mutually Assured Destruction would not longer stand thereby putting the Soviets at a distinct strategic disadvantage.
Answer:
This clause states that the United States Congress shall have power
•To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and
• To regulate commerce among the several States,
• and to regulate commerce with the Indian Tribes.
Explanation:
The Commerce Clause describes an enumerated power listed in the United States Constitution (Article I, Section 8, Clause 3). The clause states that the United States Congress shall have power "[t]o regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes."
The framers believe the clause was necessary so as to make"normal" or "regular" commerce between different state; hence, it was designed to further promote trade and exchange and not to limit, hinder or restrict it.
Also, it was necessary so as to aim at preventing states from enacting obstructions and restraints to the free flow of "commerce" such as quotas and taxes, and tariffs.
