Answer:
The correct answer is letter b: went through numerous boom-and-bust cycles.
Explanation:
Throughout the XVII and XVIII centuries the tobacco economy of the Chesapeake region experienced continuing cycles of prosperity and depression, the <em>“boom-and-bust”</em>. Tobacco at first dominated the economy, and in order to produce this commodity Virginia adopted slave labor; by 1700, the state was importing huge numbers of slaves to provide the labor required to plant and harvest the tobacco leaves, this way the plantations owners were able to increase their fortune by selling it to other countries. For long tobacco was a very used source of income; however this practice led to soil depletion, the removal of nutrients due to improper extractive practices. As a result the production dropped and the state suffered economically. The war also contributed to eliminate most of Virginia’s trading fleet, for example.
Checks and Balances
The system of checks and balances is an important part of the Constitution. With checks and balances, each of the three branches of government can limit the powers of the others. This way, no one branch becomes too powerful. Each branch “checks” the power of the other branches to make sure that the power is balanced between them. How does this system of checks and balances work?
The process of how laws are made (see the following page) is a good example of checks and balances in action. First, the legislative branch introduces and votes on a bill. The bill then goes to the executive branch, where the President decides whether he thinks the bill is good for the country. If so, he signs the bill, and it becomes a law.
If the President does not believe the bill is good for the country, he does not sign it. This is called a veto. But the legislative branch gets another chance. With enough votes, the legislative branch can override the executive branch's veto, and the bill becomes a law.
Once a law is in place, the people of the country can test it through the court system, which is under the control of the judicial branch. If someone believes a law is unfair, a lawsuit can be filed. Lawyers then make arguments for and against the case, and a judge decides which side has presented the most convincing arguments. The side that loses can choose to appeal to a higher court, and may eventually reach the highest court of all, the Supreme Court.
If the legislative branch does not agree with the way in which the judicial branch has interpreted the law, they can introduce a new piece of legislation, and the process starts all over again.
