Answer:

Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act, Fair Credit Reporting act, Fair debt Collection Practices Act, Truth in Lending act and fair credit billing Act and Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act

Explanation:

Safeguarding the buyer of services and goods against unfair practices is called consumer protection. These laws are established by law, and these laws prevent the businesses from engaging in unfair practices. People may be affected by such practices even if they are not directly consuming or purchasing the product.  

Consumers are the people who consume goods and services. There are various laws in US at both state and federal levels to regulate the consumer affairs. Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act, Fair Credit Reporting act, Fair debt Collection Practices Act, Truth in Lending act and fair credit billing Act and Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act are acts that protect consumers in US.

Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act gives the government authority to oversee the safety of drugs, medical devices, drugs and cosmetic products.  

The Fair Debt collection Practices Act prevents the costumers from unfair practices in the debt collection and to promoted the fair debt collection.  

Fair credit Reporting Act was passed to promote the privacy, fairness and accuracy of consumer information.  

The truth in Lending Act was passed in 1968, it is a federal law for promoting the informed use of consumer credit by requiring the disclosures about its costs and terms to standardising the method in which costs associated with borrowing are disclosed and calculated.

Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act was passed in 1999, it repealed the part of Glass-Steagall Act of 1933 that barred any one institution from acting as  a commercial bank, an insurance company and investment bank.

Write a paragraph that explains how advances in technology led to the Industrial
Nitella [24]
Technological advances helped to speed up the importance of industry and the rate at which it took over economies. Inventions
such as the steam engine, for example, made it possible to transport goods over much greater distances than had previously been
possible using animal power (such as horse and ox teams). Automatic signals, air brakes, and knuckle couplers on the railroads; the
Bessemer and then the open-hearth process in the steel mills; the telephone, electric light, and typewriter. Advancements in technology
are enabling manufacturers to streamline production processes, innovate at a faster pace, reduce costs and deliver higher quality
products to meet customer demand. Many different factors contributed to the rise of the Industrial Revolution in Britain. The new
inventions, access to raw materials, trade routes and partners, social changes, and a stable government all paved the way for Britain to
become an industry-driven country. Advancements in manufacturing and production technology enabled the widespread adoption of
technological systems such as telegraph and railroad networks, gas and water supply, and sewage systems, which had earlier been
concentrated to a few select cities. Rapid advances in the creation of steel, chemicals and electricity helped fuel production, including
mass-produced consumer goods and weapons. It became far easier to get around on trains, automobiles and bicycles. At the same time,
ideas and news spread via newspapers, the radio and telegraph. The development of trade and the rise of business were among the major
causes of the Industrial Revolution. Advances in manufacturing technology have the main benefit of improving quality. Manufacturing
processes are less likely to be affected by human error when robotics and automation are heavily involved. Through artificial intelligence,
errors will be predicted earlier, improving the quality of outcomes. New technological advances in manufacturing have helped to better
meet consumer demand. With the implementation of computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS), the manufacturing
industry became incredibly more efficient. Natural Resources. Another major reason why the Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain
was that it had an abundant supply of what economists call the three factors of production. These factors of production are land, labor,
and capital. Three important technologies can be identified that formed the foundations of the first industrial revolution namely: iron
production, steam engine and textiles. The steam engine had been discovered before the industrial revolution and was subsequently
improved by Watt and others after 1778.

What is the relationship between the Second Great Awakening and the reform movements of the early 1800s.
finlep [7]
The Second Great Awakening was a Protestant religious revival during the early 19th century in the United States. The movement began around 1790, gained momentum by 1800 and, after 1820, membership rose rapidly among Baptist and Methodist congregations whose preachers led the movement. Therefore, the same groups were active in both movements. The reform movements also borrowed the kind of enthusiastic preaching of the Second Great Awakening to preach against slavery.
