Not all industries prospered in the Boom in the 1920s of America.

Old industries such as Coal and Cotton did terribly in the Boom as people became interested in the new products such as clothes made from artificial material(polyester). Coal was an old source of power, in the 1920s oil and electricity became greatly used.

Agriculture was also poor many farmers left the farmland to find work in the city. As new people emerged, new demands also appeared. Instead of fresh fruits and vegetables, Americans preferred cereals and bread which lead to the decrease of demands in fruits.

In the 1920s, Argentina and Canada began to supply the world crops which lead to the drops of demands from USA directly. Later in the year Prohibition(anything related to alcoholic drinks was made illegal) was introduced which caused an instant drop to the demands of barley(barley was used for making alcoholic drinks such as beer)

Why was it difficult for Congress to fulfill its duties under the Articles of Confederation? Group of answer choices
nlexa [21]

Answer:

It was difficult for Congress to fulfill its duties under the Articles of Confederation because Congress lacked the power to regulate foreign trade, and most congressional decisions required the approval of at least nine states.

Explanation:

According to the Articles of Confederation, the member states had their own foreign policy and armed forces. Member states also had the right to resign from the Confederacy. Each member state had one vote in the Unicameral Congress. The Congress elected a committee consisting of one representative from each member state to conduct the foreign and security policy. It elected a president from among its members for a year at a time. Congress had little power because it had no taxing power and could not make decisions binding on member states. In nominal terms, Congress had the power to conduct foreign, military and monetary policy, but it could not compel a member state to allocate funds. With the exception of foreign policy, the decisions of the central government were only recommendations which were not binding on the states and for which the central government had no powers, prerogatives or military powers. All major decisions also required the unanimity of the states.

Which of these is an example of an implied power of Congress? a) signing a peace treaty b) proposing an amendment to the Constit
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

C) regulating internet usage

Explanation:

Implied power is a form of power in which it is believed to be in the jurisdiction of the United States Congress to perform but the United States Constitution does not explicitly or outright stated.

The Article 1 to 5 of the United States Constitution explicitly states the power of the US Congress and it includes: signing a peace treaty, proposing an amendment to the Constitution, coining a new twenty-five cent coin.

However, the power of the congress to "regulating internet usage, " is not outrightly stated in the Constitution, hence it is a good example of Implied power because it is relatively be inferred to align with express powers, though not outrightly stated.
