Answer:

A. The Constitution

gives the US Government the power to collect taxes. Before the Constitution, the Articles of Confederation existed and therefore the Central Government could not collect taxes, thus not being able to pay foreign loans or their soldiers. So the Founding Fathers wrote the Constitution to give the Central government the power to collect taxes.

olchik [2.2K]

The correct answer is A.

The Northern Securities Company was formed in the year 1901 in the state of New Jersey. It was the merging of holdings of the following railroad companies: Northern Pacific Railway, Great Northern Railway, Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad.

This merger created a monopoly that monopolized the railway traffic between Chicago and the Northwest.

President Roosevelt, fearing restraint of trade and competition, sued the company in 1902 under the Sherman Antitrust Act ( this acts regulated the competition among enterprises).

The government won the case and the company was dissolved. The three railroad companies started to operate individually again.
