History

6 0

Answer: Sabin at first supported Prohibition. As she explained later, “I felt I should approve of it because it would help my two sons. The word-pictures of the agitators carried me away. I thought a world without liquor would be a beautiful world.”2

Prohibition had promised a society with lower crime and violence, better health, higher employment and greater prosperity. It had promised improved public morality, the protection of youth, and many other benefits.

The dream of Prohibition quickly turned into the nightmare of its reality. Within a week after the 18th Amendment went into effect, small portable stills were for sale throughout the country.3 The mayor of New York City sent instructions on winemaking to his constituents.4 California grape growers increased their acreage about 700% during the first five years of Prohibition. There was a booming nation-wide demand for grapes. Not to eat, but to make wine at home.5 A member of the President’s cabinet operated an illegal still. Bootleggers operated in the halls of Congress.

How do patents and copyrights encourage innovation?
juin [17]

Answer:

The answer is: "They give inventors and writers exclusive rights to make and sell their inventions and works, possibly making large profits."

Explanation:

When you get a patent on something, you are protected from someone swooping in and grabbing your idea and running with it. Say you have an idea for a new type of coffee cup that keeps coffee warm longer. If you just make a few thousand and sell them, some larger company can come in, copy your idea, and sell it cheaper and with a wider distribution because they have more money to work with.

When you patent it, anyone that comes in to copy your idea, can get into legal trouble over it. They may even own you money for damages.
