Answer:

The United States Congress wanted to create a "transcontinental railroad".

Explanation:

The Pacific Railroad Acts of 1862 was the way through which the United States Congress wanted to promote all aspects referring to the establishment of a "transcontinental railroad" throughout the United States. United States Congress wanted to accomplish this through the utilization of government bonds as well as the grants of the land regarding the different railroad companies.

In 1853, Congress authorized the War Department to conduct some surveys related to the five possible transcontinental routes. These routes would be from the north of Mississippi to the south. However, any route was established.

Colonial boycotts of British goods before the Revolutionary War were effective measures because they..
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

Colonial boycotts of British goods before the Revolutionary war reduced the profits of the British merchants.

Explanation:

There were laws like Townsend Acts, passed in 1767 imposed taxes on tea, glass, paint, lead import. Colonists protested the same saying that these taxes violated their rights as British citizens. They thus started boycotting British goods i.e. stopped buying them. This boycott of British goods led to a series of boycotts which ultimately led to the American revolution.

Boycotts reduced the profits of British merchants. So, they even petitioned Parliament to revoke the Townshend Acts.

The Fair Credit Billing Act permit a chargeback when there is a goods and service dispute over a purchase made with a credit car
bija089 [108]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

The Fair Credit Billing Act is a federal law in the USA, that is, it is valid in all states and must be respected in any region.

This law has as main objective to protect the consumer from unfair charges and errors of any type of merchant. In addition, the law allows to resolve any conflict that may act between consumer and merchant, arising from purchases made with a credit card and resulting from any collection error.

This law may, for example, allow a chargeback when there is a dispute for goods and services over a credit card purchase that cannot be resolved with the merchant.

A chargeback is a return on the money invested by the consumer in a product, when the merchant makes a mistake that leaves the consumer at a disadvantage.

drek231 [11]

The United States thought that it had solved its problems after assuming independence, but the tension between the northern and southern states only grew due to differences in relation to slavery. The northern and southern states were completely different, and had very different views on almost everything. Although the act of commitment was implemented, this did not solve the problems, as the states were still very independent and created ways to circumvent these rules. All this tension led to the Civil War.
