The mercantilism policy served to increase tensions and conflict between great
Britain and its American colonies. the policy,coined by Adam smith was the practice by several European countries to allow exports and discourage import, hence exports were encouraged from Great Britain but imports were not from the colonies.
If I was an ordinary person in my 1930s and aged 40 with a middle income job such as an 'office assistant', I would not be in favour of helping other countries.
I would personally prefer a policy of isolation from the rest of the world. Primarily, this would be because I had seen with my very won eyes, the death and destruction bought on by World War I and more importantly the Great Depression.
With millions of job less people, poverty and people barely making ends meet, I would want our government to concentrate on the welfare of our own people, rather than go to war with countries thousands of miles away.

Historians affect history because the bias of historians will affect the way that they record events.
Whether intentional or unintentional, many historians include bias in their writing when recording events. Bias is your personal beliefs or attitudes skewed for or against a topic that influence your writing. If a historian includes this in their writing about an event, it can change the way that the event is perceived by the public. Many historians relay the facts in a similar manner, but it is the bias that makes their stories unique from one another and also how they affect history.
Hope this helps!
United States v. Nixon, 418 U.S. 683 (1974), was a landmark United States Supreme Court case that resulted in a unanimous decision against President Richard Nixon, ordering him to deliver tape recordings and other subpoenaed materials to a federal district court. Issued on July 24, 1974, the decision was important to the late stages of the Watergate scandal, when there was an ongoing impeachment process against Richard Nixon. United States v. Nixon is considered a crucial precedent limiting the power of any U.S. president to claim executive privilege.
