Answer:

B. caused a major reduction in international trade

Explanation:

The "Smooth-Hawley Tariff" was an act that was meant to alleviate the people and the economy from the "Great Depression." It raised the tariff of import goods. This was retaliated by other countries, which, in turn, also increased their tariff on US goods. So, this contributed to a decline of both import and export of goods, thereby reducing international trade.

Since it is the role of the bank to assist people when it comes to financial trading, the reduction of international trade greatly affected banking. This resulted to many bank failures, including the collapse of the Creditanstalt Bank (used to be the largest bank in Austria). Farm banks also began failing due to the collapse of the export market. The tariff made a significant change in the country's monetary system.

So, this explains the answer.

Airida [17]

Answer:Citizens elect leaders who vote on the issues in a representative democracy, and citizens vote on the issues in a direct democracy

Explanation:Representative democracy is defined as the government system in which eligible citizens elect the representatives by voting to pass the law for them. The elected representative has the power of selecting the other legislature members and officers such as the president.

Disadvantages such as fake voting, corruption exist in a representative democracy.

Direct democracy is the government system in which people themselves select the policy initiatives directly.

It is said to be pure democracy as here there is no act of corruption, fake voting and all depends on the majority decision of the people. hope it helps <3
