The correct answer is C) breaking up business trusts and giant monopolies.

The progressive goal pursued by President William Howard Taft was breaking up business trusts and giant monopolies.

President Taft used the Sherman Anti-trust Act to break up monopolies and regulate big business in America, as was the case of the Standard Oil company owned by Jonh Rockefeller or the Steel Company of Andrew Carnegie. President Taft was determined to prosecuting antitrust violators.

A is a goal, but not a progressive goal, so A is discarded as a correct answer. And we can say the same thing to B.

Although breaking easing the requirements to become a U.S. citizen might be seen nowadays as a progressive goal, it was not the case back in William Howard Taft's time and it certainly was not his goal. So it can't be D either.

So in the end, we have C. breaking up business trust and giant monopolies.

and he did, like his predecessor Teddy Roosevelt.

What was the main cause of the Lebanese civil war?

Trava [24]

The Lebanese Civil War had a complex series of events and factors that led to its beginning. However, a simplified version of what occurred was that there was an fragile balance of power between militant groups from the Sunni Arabs and Shi'ite Arabs as well as the Maronite Christians. When the Palestinian Liberation Organization was expelled from Jordan it further unsettled the balance of power in Lebanon causing widespread conflict between these groups. In addition external powers in the region like Syria and Israel had an influence in fomenting conflict in Lebanon during this period as well.

Which two countries signed the Limited Test Ban Treaty in 1963?

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

United States, Soviet Union and United Kingdom

Explanation:

The treaty was signed in 1963 to ban the test of Nuclear Weapon Tests in under water, outer space and atmosphere. It also banned all nuclear detonations except those conducted underground.

Further Explanation:

Partial Test ban treaty is the short form of Treaty Banning Nuclear Weapon Tests in the Atmosphere, in Outer Space and Under Water. It prohibited the detonation of the nuclear weapons except the underground explosions. It is called LTBT(Limited Test Ban Treaty).

Initial negotiations for the treaty included complete ban, but it was changed due to the technical questions about the inability to detect underground tests. The stimulus specified to the test-ban was given by the increasing public fear over the immensity of nuclear tests, especially of thermonuclear weapons. The ban on nuclear tests was believed to be the only way to slow down the spread of nuclear weapons and arms race. The treaty did not stop the spread of nuclear arms. The amount of radioactive elements present around the atmosphere declined after this treaty.

United States Soviet Union and United Kingdom singed on it on 5th August 1963 and later it was opened for other countries who wanted to become a signatory.

The treaty declared that its aim was to achieve an agreement on complete disarmament of nuclear weapons. The treaty forbids the signatories from conducting nuclear detonations. It also prohibited peaceful nuclear explosions as it was difficult to differentiate it from the military tests.

By April 1964 more than 100 states had signed the treaty and 39 had passed it. And by 2015, 126 states had signed it, ten countries has signed but not put down the instruments of ratification. And Sixty states had not signed the PTBT.

Compare and contrast one aspect of society in farming northern colonies, in the plantation southern colonies, and in the colonia

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Colonies in America established by Britishers for economic benefits and power.

Explanation:

Colonial society became much more structured by establishing rules and regulation in the colonies. The life in the colonies was harsh with extreme climate and work until sun up to down. Women in the colonial period indulged in doing domestic work like looking after the home, farm and raising children.

Farming was difficult in northern colonies because of the infertile land. Most farmers engaged in substance farming. Crops like corn, pumpkins, rye, squash and beans planted. The farmers also raised hogs, cattle, sheep, and horses.

Industries and town developed in northern colonies with roads, ports where their social life centred around town.

By the eighteenth century, planters in Southern colonies began raising corn, tobacco, indigo, cotton along with crops including wheat, barley, oats, and rye.

In the southern colonies, women look after the household and the children. In the Northern family, women seen as valuable than the south as the family structure is much more balanced.

Colonial cities arose in societies in the early expansion of capitalism. Cities in the North America colonies in the 1700s served by a small wealthy social group having a unique cultural and economic organization.
