Use the passage below to answer the following question: Suppose the subject of another country were to come to England to trade,

he would certainly be required to comply with the laws of England, then how much more does this apply to us of the celestial empire! Now it is a fixed statute of this empire, that any native Chinese who sells opium is punishable with death, and even he who merely smokes it, must not less die. Pause and reflect for a moment: if you foreigners did not bring the opium hither, where should our Chinese people get it to re-sell? It is you foreigners who involve our simple natives in the pit of death, and are they alone to be permitted to escape alive?—Modern History Sourcebook Based on the passage, what is Commissioner Lin's major goal?

The main objective of the commissioner is to get the foreigners to stop selling opium to the Chinese. We learn this in the passage. The commissioner begins by explaining what the punishment is for Chinese people who find themselves involved in the opium trade. However, he then states that he believes foreigners are as much to blame for the trade, because they are the ones bringing it into the country. The commissioner wants the foreigners to reflect on this and change their ways, or face the legal consequences.

What were the possible causes of the Great Depression? To what extent could a stock market crash of the intensity of 1929 occur
Dominik [7]

Answer:

overproduction of goods and the expansion of unbridled credit by banks.

Explanation:

The Great Depression of the 1930s was the largest recession in history and its causes were overproduction of goods and the expansion of unbridled credit by banks.

The American economy was experiencing a period of euphoria during the 1920s. The US had become the world's leading economic powerhouse and was the largest supplier of manufactures to Europe. In this scenario, banks have expanded their credit rampantly to sustain the increase in production. However, production increased in a way that there was not enough consumer market to dispose of the products. The businessmen lost the conditions to pay their loans to the banks and the financial system collapsed.

Currently, the Federal Reserve has regulatory mechanisms that aim to reduce the risk of unbridled expansion of bank credit, such as the collection of the compulsory deposit and monetary policy. However, it is not possible to say that the risk is non-existent. We live in a special moment where technology has positive impacts, but can also cause negative havoc. For example, virtual currencies, if not well regulated, can cause a new crisis.

Olin [163]

Answer:

railroads must clearly publish and honor posted schedules and fees

Explanation:

During the late 1800s, railway companies were shortchanging their customers by hiking the prices of tickets to only some customers and as a result, the Interstate Commerce Act was passed in 1887 to stop this anomaly.

This Act was meant to ensure fairness in prices and regulate the excesses of the rail officials by requiring them to publish and honor posted schedules and fees.
