History

Answer: people used engraving to honor their gods and rulers.

Explanation:

In ancient times, as in modern times,  Evidence of stone carvings found in the Serengeti Plains of Africa has proven that ancient man worked with stone as long as 500,000 years ago. Statuettes of fertility goddesses, such as the famous Venus of Willendorf (discovered in Willendorf, Austria), have an estimated creation date of between 40,000–15,000 BC.

    Beautifully carved gemstones, known as cameos, have been found in Egypt and Rome. The art of cameo cutting peaked in Rome in the first centuries before and after Christ. Untold thousands of cameos were carved, many bearing the likenesses of ancient leaders, such as Alexander the Great and the Roman historian and scholar Pliny the Elder.

    People also used engraving in ancient times to signify wealth. Beginning in about 3000 BC, Sumerian and Hittite carvers began engraving “seals.” These cylindrical ornaments were often made of gemstones such as soapstone and lapis lazuli, and were carved with intricate designs and cuneiform writings. It’s likely that most wealthy individuals in those times owned at least one of these seals.

Answer:

laissez-faire - supported lack of government intervention in business affairs

Interstate Commerce Act - regulated railroads

Sherman Anti-Trust Act - banned business practices that supported monopolies

Explanation:

Laissez-faire refers to an economic system from the 18th century that was opposing any government intervention in business affairs. In this system, the individual is the center of the society who has the right to freedom; therefore, the government should not be involved in the economy, because of the natural order that ruled the world.

Interstate Commerce Act was adopted in the U.S. in 1887 as a federal law that regulated the railroad industry. This Act fought for the adjustment of railroad rates, in order to make it reasonable and just. However, the government did not have the power to establish specific rates.

Sherman Anti-Trust Act was brought in the U.S. in 1890, as an antitrust law that banned business practices that supported monopolies. The Sherman Anti-Trust Act was designed to help workers and smaller businessmen by providing them better conditions and encouraging competition.
