Why did key basic industries lose business

History
1 answer:
poizon [28]3 years ago
3 0

Key basic industries, such as railroads, textiles, and steel had barely made a profit. Railroads lost business to new forms of transportation (trucks, buses, and private automobiles, for instance). Coal mining was especially hard-hit, in part due to stiff competition from new forms of energy, including hydroelectric power, fuel oil, and natural gas.

Compare and contrast what you know about the current U.S. government with government outlined in the Articles of Confederation.
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

We will notice that even though they were written within a period of just over a decade and mostly by the same people, the differences are quite clear between them.

Explanation:

If we compare the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution of the U.S we would get a fair idea of the differences between them. The Articles were heavily criticized for centralizing all the powers in the hands of state governments and leaving the central government at their disposal. But this wasn't the only distinguishing point between these documents. The two distinguished in several ways such as the judiciary, power of levying taxes, the number of votes in Congress, etc.
