Answer:

The first time zones in the US was created by the railroad industry. The need for time zones was felt the railroads spread over thousands of miles. During the 1880's most of the towns in the US had their local time. and these local times created scheduling problems for the railways. Hence the railroad companies agreed for a new time code system. They divided the continent into four time zones. The congress officially adopted the railroad time zone in 1918.

In 1883, it was the "railroad industry" that was responsible for creating the first system of time zones in the United States, since the introduction of rail travel meant that there needed to be a set table of departure and arrival times across the US.

Expressing Problems Clearly Explain the balance between police power and individual rights.
Nookie1986 [14]

In every society, the government needs to have what are called police powers.  What this means is that the governments need to have the right to uphold the laws.  Governments need to have this ability so that they can protect their citizens from others who would seek to prey on them.  Without police powers, for example, there is no one to protect us from being murdered or robbed, or otherwise harmed.

The problem is that the government can take away our rights in the process of trying to protect us.  For example, let us imagine that the government is worried about drug use.  It therefore declares that it has the right to test any person for drug use at any time.  It also declares that it has the right to search anyone’s house at any time for evidence of drug manufacture, sale, or use.  This would be great for law and order because it would make it much harder to get away with drug crimes, but it would be terrible for our rights.
