One of the main factors which contributed to the Stock Market Crash in 1929, when the very loose regulations related to margin orders.

In financial terms, margin in an instrument which consists on depositing a collateral with a counterparty (generally the broker) to cover some of the credit risk that the depositor places to that counterparty.

In the 1920s, the mandatory requirements regarding margins were not very strict, and brokers asked investors to put in a small fraction of their own money. Leverage rates  which measure the proportion of debt, reached 90% with a high frequency.  Nowadays, the Federal Reserve has established the limit of 50%.

Back in 1929, when the stock market started to contract, many investors received margin calls. They had to hand in more money to their brokers, because the amounts required before were not enough and if not, their shares would be sold. Many people did not have the extra margin amounts required, their shares were sold and the market declined further. This generated more margin calls and more declines. This is why margin calls were one of the causes which triggered the Stock Market Crisis and, in turn, the Great Depression in 1929.

Totalitarian governments are often controlled by a single political party because
klasskru [66]
Totalitarian government is when a single group completely takes over and makes the people subservient to the state (they make all of the rules) and if there was more than one group, opinions may differ and actions may be more diverse, and it wouldn't have total control over the decisions anymore. Ex: Hitler- changed laws to what he saw fit, changed culture, controlled how people were treated, threw Jew's in concentration camps because of a personal bias, etc. He had total control, thus totalitarian gov.

lisabon 2012 [21]

No, I would not expect the borders of a gerrymandered district to appear on a map as a rectangle of circle or some other recognizable shape because first of all, geographic shapes cannot be compared to simple geometric shapes and a “gerrymandered” district would have an odd and bizarre shape, just like what happened when Gov. Elbridge Gerry redrew the Senate districts map – it looked like a salamander.
