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.
Answer:Hired by English merchants, explorer Henry Hudson twice entered the Arctic Ocean in an attempt to find a Northeast Passage to Asia, only to be stymied each time by sheets of sea ice. Though unable to gain additional backing in his home country, the state-sponsored Dutch East India Company soon jumped in to green-light a third voyage. In April 1609, Hudson set off on his ship, the Halve Maen (Half Moon), but quickly reached treacherous, ice-filled waters above Norway. Choosing to disobey his instructions rather than admit defeat, he crossed the Atlantic Ocean to Nova Scotia and then roughly followed the coastline south to North Carolina before reversing course again and heading up what’s now called the Hudson River. In the end, shallow waters forced him to turn around, by which time he realized the river would not be a Northwest Passage to Asia. Based on his voyage, however, the Dutch claimed parts of present-day New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Connecticut and Delaware for the colony of New Netherland. Hudson, meanwhile, died in 1611 following a mutiny in which he was set adrift on a small lifeboat in the Canadian Arctic
Explanation:
The US believed in isolation, if another country attacked the US that is the only way that we would get involved, therefore we tried to stay out of the mass killings and havoc that the Germans and Japanese were creating until we felt that it involved the US. The US did not want to pick a side and have to stay loyal to that side and go to war when that country did because of the alliance. The US finally joined in to help the allied powers to supply them with weapons/military troops. They did not enter the war until December 1941.
