Answer:

The correct answer is A. The ICC was formed to oversee railroad operations.

Explanation:

The Interstate Commerce Commission was established by the Interstate Commerce Act, a federal law of February 4, 1887. The ICC was the first independent agency at the federal level. With the approval of the US Senate, the President of the United States appointed its members, who had a degree of independence in their decisions.

The original purpose of the ICC was to regulate rail transport (and later also truck traffic). From 1910 to 1934 it also regulated the telephone services between the states. This responsibility was transferred in 1934 to the newly created Federal Communications Commission. Due to various deregulation measures of the US Congress in the 1970s and 1980s, the ICC lost more and more skills. It was abolished in 1995. The responsibilities that have been left to it were handled by the Surface Transportation Board.

Answer: I would use a proper mix of the two approaches, but I am not sure if it could work out since it seems to me that anybody is a monday morning quarterback.

Explanation:

The Marshall Plan (officially the European Recovery Program, ERP) was an American initiative passed in 1948 for foreign aid to Western Europe. The United States transferred over $12 billion (nearly $100 billion in 2018 US dollars) in economic recovery programs to Western European economies after the end of World War II. Replacing an earlier proposal for a Morgenthau Plan, it operated for four years beginning on April 3, 1948. The goals of the United States were to rebuild war-torn regions, remove trade barriers, modernize industry, improve European prosperity, and prevent the spread of Communism. The Marshall Plan required a reduction of interstate barriers, a dropping of many regulations, and encouraged an increase in productivity, as well as the adoption of modern business procedures.

President Dwight D. Eisenhower coins one of the most famous Cold War phrases when he suggests the fall of French Indochina to the communists could create a “domino” effect in Southeast Asia. The so-called “domino theory” dominated U.S. thinking about Vietnam for the next decade.13 nov. 2009

The domino theory was a theory prominent from the 1950s to the 1980s that posited that if one country in a region came under the influence of communism, then the surrounding countries would follow in a domino effect.
