Nicolás Machiavelli was a diplomat, civil servant, political philosopher and Italian writer, considered father of modern Political Science. He was also a relevant figure of the Italian Renaissance. His thinking translates the philosophical tradition of ancient political thought in which political practice is overshadowed by the idealization of governments and utopian cities.

Machiavelli states that the actual exercise of politics involves real situations with real men and peoples, whose behavior, decisions and actions, usually do not necessarily respond to morality but to the laws of power

Niccolo Machiavelli was an Italian diplomat, politician, philosopher and writer. He lived during the Renaissance period. He is often called the "father" of modern political science. He served as an official in the Florentine Republic for many years.

His most famous work is titled "The Prince" and was wrote in 1513. Here, Machiavelli describes dishonesty, immoral behavior and the killing of innocent people as being effective tools in politics and encourages the reader to act under these principles whenever it is needed.

Leno4ka [110]

Correct answer:  Creating the Environmental Protection Agency

Explanation/detail:

The formal recognition of China and Strategic Arms Limitations Talks (SALT) were <u>foreign</u> policy initiatives (not domestic).

As to interest rates, during the Nixon presidency, the Federal Reserve chairman, Arthur Burns, had begun raising interest rates.  In 1971, President Nixon exerted pressure on Burns and "the Fed" to keep interest rates down, but that only led to a decade of high inflation that caused other economic problems. So that was not a success for Nixon.

<u>About the Environmental Protection Agency</u>

President Nixon signed an executive order establishing the Environmental Protection Agency in 1970.  Subsequent committee hearings in the House of Representatives and the Senate ratified Nixon's order for the creation of the agency.  

Environmental issues had been gaining much attention during the 1960s, and the need for oversight became clear.  As Lily Rothman reported in a TIME magazine article:

  • <em>An oil spill off the California coast in 1969 coated 400 square miles with slime and killed hundreds of birds. Scientists announced that auto exhaust was at high enough levels in some places that it could cause birth defects. The city of St. Louis smelled, as one resident put it, “like an old-fashioned drugstore on fire.”</em>

<em>- </em>"Here's Why the Environmental Protection Agency Was Created," <em>TIME, </em>March 22, 2017

Nixon's administration felt it necessary to take action to address pollution problems in the American environment.

Which of these actions was an economic cause of increased tensions between the North and South?
RUDIKE [14]

The protective tariff was an economic cause of the increased tension between the North and the South.

Economically, the North had a lot of factories and had become industrialized. The south on the other hand still depended heavily on Agriculture.

High protective tariffs were placed on foreign goods to favor the Northern Industries. This meant that people had to buy more from the North.

This tariff favored the North but caused greater burden on the South who had to pay more for goods that they imported from Europe.

In conclusion the protective tariffs helped to boost the economy in the North while hurting t the south.
