It's the Congress who establishes post offices and roads

DanielleElmas [232]2 years ago

The United States Congress is the department that establishes the post office and roads. Congress was granted the power to manage the post office and the transport network, by the Articles of Confederation. The reason why the road network is part of the Postal Service is because originally the roads were created to facilitate the transport of the post to various outlying areas in the USA. It is fascinating to realize how important it was to deliver the post to its destination.

What is the summary of the Emancipation Proclamation in one paragraph?

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

<span>Despite his personal opposition to slavery, when President Abraham Lincoln took office in 1861 he insisted that his constitutional duty was to keep the nation together, not to abolish slavery. He conducted the first year of the war with the goal of reuniting the Union, but wartime events, including heavy military losses and the many slaves who escaped behind Union battle lines, forced him to contend with the issue of slavery. He issued a preliminary Emancipation Proclamation on September 22, 1862 and the final version on January 1, 1863, fundamentally changing the meaning of the war.</span>

Explain how a factory owner would view capitalism

xenn [34]

Answer:

Economic theorizing

utilizes, on the one hand, mathematical techniques and, on the other, thought

experiments, parables, or stories. Progress may stagnate for various reasons.

Sometimes we are held back for lack of the technique needed to turn our stories

into the raw material for effective scientific work. At other times, we are

short of good stories to inject meaning into (and perhaps even to draw a moral

from) our models. One can strive for intellectual coherence in economics either

by attempting to fit all aspects of the subject into one overarching

mathematical structure or by trying to weave its best stories into one grand

epic.

This paper attempts to revive an old

parable, Adam Smith’s theory of manufacturing production, which has been

shunted aside and neglected because it has not fitted into the formal structure

of either neoclassical or neo-Ricardian theory. The paper attempts to persuade

not by formal demonstrations (at this stage) but by suggesting that the parable

can illuminate many and diverse problems and thus become the red thread in a

theoretical tapestry of almost epic proportions.

The subject may be approached from either

a theoretical or a historical angle. Regarding the theoretical starting-point,

it is possible to be brief since the familiar litany of complaints about the

neoclassical constant-returns production function hardly bears repeating. The

one point about it that is germane here is that it does not describe production

as a process, i.e., as an ordered sequence of operations. It is more like a

recipe for bouillabaisse where all the ingredients are dumped in a pot, (K, L),

heated up, f(·), and the output, X, is ready. This abstraction

from the sequencing of tasks, it will be suggested, is largely responsible for

the well-known fact that neoclassical production theory gives us no [204] clue

to how production is actually organized. Specifically, it does not help us

explain (1) why, since the industrial revolution, manufacturing is normally

conducted in factories with a sizeable workforce concentrated to one workplace,

or (2) why factories relatively seldom house more than one firm, or (3) why

manufacturing firms are “capitalistic” in the sense that capital

hires labor rather than vice versa.

What decisions did the First Continental Congress make?

elena55 [62]

Americans were fed up. The "Intolerable" Acts were more than the colonies could stand. In the summer that followed Parliament's attempt to punish Boston, sentiment for the patriot cause increased dramatically. The printing presses at the Committees of Correspondence were churning out volumes. There was agreement that this new quandary warranted another intercolonial meeting. It was nearly ten years since the Stamp Act Congress had assembled. It was time once again for intercolonial action. Thus, on September 1774, the First Continental Congress was convened in Philadelphia. E Pluribus Unum Patrick Henry What do you do if you fail as a storekeeper and farmer? Become a lawyer! That's what Patrick Henry did. By the time he became a member of the First Continental Congress, Henry was known as a great orator. Americans were fed up. The "Intolerable" Acts were more than the colonies could stand. In the summer that followed Parliament's attempt to punish Boston, sentiment for the patriot cause increased dramatically. The printing presses at the Committees of Correspondence were churning out volumes. There was agreement that this new quandary warranted another intercolonial meeting. It was nearly ten years since the Stamp Act Congress had assembled. It was time once again for intercolonial action. Thus, on September 1774, the First Continental Congress was convened in Philadelphia. The Intolerable Acts Quartering Act (March 24, 1765): This bill required that Colonial Authorities to furnish barracks and supplies to British troops. In 1766, it was expanded to public houses and unoccupied buildings. Boston Port Bill (June 1, 1774): This bill closed the port of Boston to all colonists until the damages from the Boston Tea Party were paid for. Administration of Justice Act (May 20, 1774): This bill stated that British Officials could not be tried in provincial courts for capital crimes. They would be extradited back to Britain and tried there. Massachusetts Government Act (May 20, 1774): This bill annulled the Charter of the Colonies, giving the British Governor complete control of the town meetings. Quebec Act (May 20, 1774): This bill extended the Canadian borders to cut off the western colonies of Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Virginia. Debating the Intolerable Acts Colonists came together at the First Continental Congress to protest the Intolerable Acts. This time participation was better. Only Georgia withheld a delegation. The representatives from each colony were often selected by almost arbitrary means, as the election of such representatives was illegal. Still, the natural leaders of the colonies managed to be selected. Sam and John Adams from Massachusetts were present, as was John Dickinson from Pennsylvania. Virginia selected Richard Henry Lee, George Washington, and Patrick Henry. It took seven weeks for the country's future heroes to agree on a course of action. First and most obvious, complete nonimportation was resumed. The Congress set up an organization called the Association to ensure compliance in the colonies. Carpenters' Hall — the meeting place of the First Continental Congress Rushton Young Carpenters' Hall — the meeting place of the First Continental Congress A declaration of colonial rights was drafted and sent to London. Much of the debate revolved around defining the colonies' relationship with mother England. A plan introduced by JOSEPH GALLOWAY of Pennsylvania proposed an imperial union with Britain. Under this program, all acts of Parliament would have to be approved by an American assembly to take effect. Such an arrangement, if accepted by London, might have postponed revolution. But the delegations voted against it — by one vote. One decision by the Congress often overlooked in importance is its decision to reconvene in May 1775 if their grievances were not addressed. This is a major step in creating an ongoing intercolonial decision making body, unprecedented in colonial history. When Parliament chose to ignore the Congress, they did indeed reconvene that next May, but by this time boycotts were no longer a major issue. Unfortunately, the Second Continental Congress would be grappling with choices caused by the spilling of blood at Lexington and Concord the previous month. It was at CARPENTERS' HALL that America came together politically for the first time on a national level and where the seeds of participatory democracy were sown.
