How has Nevada economy changed over the past 100 years?

History
1 answer:
Ad libitum [116K]4 years ago
7 0
At the beginning of the 20th century, Nevada was struggling with a 20-year depression. When the veins of gold, silver and copper dried up, the mining industry closed and people left Nevada. There were so few people left it hardly qualified to be called a state. In March 1931, Nevada legalized gambling in their desperate move to raise revenues. Also in that month, construction of the Hoover Dam began. This sure and steady supply of water and cheap electricity sent flocks of people back to Nevada. With the advent of World War II, the United States built their military bases in the West and Southern Nevada was a suitable venue. 1,000 homes were built by the federal government to house a workforce of 10,000 for a magnesium processing plant. After the war, resort hotels began to crop up across the Southern Nevadan desert. The interstate system made travelling to Nevada easy. After the creation of the Nevada Gaming Commission, the state started to attract legitimate investors. Nevada was one of the greatest economic success stories in the 20th century.

  • Our eyes, this same small but noticeable convulsion of everyone's lips, the crumbling nose, etc., everything that unintentionally demonstrates our talents and inner feelings.

So that the above seems to be the right answer.

Laboratories for reform refers to
natima [27]

The correct answer is C.

Laboratories of reform, also denominated laboratories of democracy, was an expression promoted in the US by Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis.

It refers, within the federal structure, to a level of state autonomy that enables state and local goverments to act as "laboratories". They can pass l<u>aws that will be tested at the local or state level. It can be regarded as a manner of applying the scientific method to democracy. </u>The most prominent example would be the legalisation of marihuana in the state of Colorado, despite the fact that this substance is forbbiden at the federal level.

The legal basis for these laboratories of democracy is contained in the Tenth Amendment to the US Constitution, in the following provision:  "all powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
