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.

How do the Reconstruction Amendments help explain the status of the men in the image?
frosja888 [35]
Had to look for the missing details and here is my answer.
Based on the image attached, how the Reconstruction Amendments helped in explaining the status of men is that "the 14th Amendment granted the men citizenship, making it possible for them to run for office, while the 15th Amendment allowed African American men to vote for their representative." This answer is based on the actual options posted. Hope this helps.

Write a speech that explains why you would meet Isaac Newton. Will give brainliest answer to the first person!
Bumek [7]

Issac Newton is a idol he has made several accomplishments that did not get recognized until it was proven in later day. But he was a idol that discovered the laws of motion and how motion works. He has wrote several books some are: <em>'Opticks', 'De mundi systemate'</em>, <em>'Observations upon the prophecies of Daniel, and the Apocalypse of St. John', </em>are some of the following books he wrote. I want to meet him if he were still alive to ask him how he got his ideas about the laws of motion. Although he is most recognized as a scientist he is also a world renowned mathematician he also was the one who discovered about polynomials. Newton is a very smart man that can teach me a lot of things and it would be cool to understand why he choose to study the subjects that he once did! I would like to meet Isaac Newton not because of how smart he is but because Isaac is so knowledgeable he could teach me a lot. That is why I want to meet Isaac Newton.
