History

koban [17]3 years ago

<span>In 1890, William McKinley, the sitting Congressional Representative from Ohio, outlined the Tariff Act of 1890. Created to protect American businesses from foreign competition, the Tariff Act of 1890 raised the duty taxes on all imports to almost 50%. When American farmers, industrialists, and business men couldn't keep up with the demand created by limited foreign suppliers, prices for those goods skyrocketed, leaving many Americans with less money in their pockets. Additionally, foreign governments added their own sanctions and taxes to exported goods bound for the United States, adding additional fees that were passed along to the average consumer.</span>

Answer:

To reduce soft money contributions to political parties.

it has caused spending by interest groups to increase

Explanation:

giving money to political campaigns is considered free speech:

in "citizen united v fec" the supreme court said because corporations giving money to political campaigns is considered free speech and the government cant restrict it. giving money is protected under the first amendment

Soft money is unregulated donations to political parties for general "party-building" purposes, not the support of a particular candidate so it avoid  various legal limitations

Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act aka McCain-Feingold Act is a major amendment of the Federal Election Campaign Act 1971 passed by the US congress in 2002. Its goal was to reduce the increased use of soft money to fund advertising by political parties.

Answer:

Going out on a limb here and assuming you're speaking about the end of WWII.

Explanation:

At the end of WWII, most of Europe was destroyed due to the war. The two main superpowers that emerged were Russia and the United States. There was a lot of discussion about dividing up Europe into colonies but the United States didn't want any part of that. Instead, General and later Secretary of State George Marshall devised what was later called the Marshall Plan.

Under the Marshall Plan, the United States gave over $12 billion to the European countries affected by WWII to help them reestablish their economies and rebuild their nations. This even included our enemies, such as Germany and Italy. The goal was that if they could rebuild and be influenced by captialism, then democracies might have a chance of spreading. These discussions were held at the Paris Accords and of course, Russia was against it. Russian leader Stalin tried to kill the Marshall Plan then when he realized that couldn't be done, he tried to take credit for some or even all of it's successes.

Back in the United States, our Congress which at the time was controlled by the Republicans, put forth a bill called the Economic Cooperation Act of 1948. President Truman signed the Act into law and the ECA was funded and implemented. To protect the integrity of the program, the money wasn't given directly to the participating countries. Instead, it was managed by local authorities who had to account for every single penny.

In addition to receiving help to rebuild their economy and their infrastructure, the participating European countries also received direct technical assistance from the United States to help bring new industries and businesses into Europe. All in all 17 countries took advantage of the program and were helped.

In what ways were the poor better off in America than in Europe?
Maru [420]
The main difference between being poor in America and Europe in the 19th century etc. was that America offered much more opportunities due to the fact that it was a nation that was being built up from the ground. This meant that poor people and people of low education could at least get various jobs in construction and related things whereas in Europe, the opportunities for such people were much smaller.
