History

The United States Constitution limits states from keeping a standing army because the framers wanted all military personnel to be under the control of the US federal government.

Before the US Constitution was implemented, the Articles of Confederation was the law of the land. At this time, states had significant power and the US federal government struggled to have any states follow the orders of the federal government. This was especially true for developing a military, as it was optional to listen to the laws of the federal government.

When developing the US Constitution, the framers knew it was an element that needed to be changed. Now, all military would be under the control of the federal government. This would ensure that the US is ready for war and would have a cohesive unit ready for action.

What action did the Radical Republicans take during Reconstruction?
lbvjy [14]

The Radical Republicans were a faction of American politicians within the Republican Party of the United States from around 1854 (before the American Civil War) until the end of Reconstruction in 1877. They called themselves "Radicals" and were opposed during the War by the Moderate Republicans (led by President Abraham Lincoln), by the conservative Republicans, and the largely pro-slavery and later anti-Reconstruction Democratic Party, as well as by conservatives in the South and liberals in the North during Reconstruction.[1] Radicals strongly opposed slavery during the war and after the war distrusted ex-Confederates, demanding harsh policies for punishing the former rebels, and emphasizing equality, civil rights, and voting rights for the "freedmen" (recently freed slaves).[2]

During the war, Radical Republicans often opposed Lincoln in terms of selection of generals (especially his choice of DemocratGeorge B. McClellan for top command of the major eastern Army of the Potomac) and his efforts to bring seceded Southern states back into the Union as quickly and easily as possible. The Radicals passed their own reconstruction plan through the Congress in 1864, but Lincoln vetoed it and was putting his own presidential policies in effect by virtue as military commander-in-chief when he was assassinated in April 1865.[3] Radicals pushed for the uncompensated abolition of slavery, while Lincoln wanted to pay slave owners who were loyal to the Union. After the war, the Radicals demanded civil rights for freedmen, such as measures ensuring suffrage. They initiated the various Reconstruction Acts, and limited political and voting rights for ex-Confederate civil officials, military officers and soldiers. They bitterly fought President Andrew Johnson; they weakened his powers and attempted to remove him from office through impeachment, which failed by one vote in 1868.

during World War II which organization was charged with transforming the United States economy into a wartime economy
Anestetic [448]

During World War II, the organization that was charged with transforming the United States economy into a wartime economy was the War Industries Board (WIB). The War Industries Board was a government agency group formed in July 28, 1917. They were the ones that coordinate the purchases of war supplies between the War Department (Department of the Army) and the Navy Department. Because of what they do, they made the economy more into spending their money on things for war than other items. They made the U.S priorities the War.
