<u>Answer:</u>

The Interstate Commerce Act of 1887 required A. Equality in shipping rates charged by railroads.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The “Interstate Commerce Act” was passed in 1887. It is a federal law that was planned that helped in regulating the railroad industry. The Act made it obligatory that railroad rates should be "reasonable and just,". Though the government did not have the power to fix certain rates.

It also mentioned that railroads should announce the shipping rates and there should be no discrimination for the charges especially for smaller markets and farmers in Western or Southern Territory. The Act also created a federal regulatory agency, which monitored the railroads to make sure that they are complying with all the new rules and regulations.

Please somebody help this is due in 4 minutes <br><br> How did the Soviets create the Eastern bloc?
goblinko [34]

Answer:

The Eastern Bloc, also known as the Communist Bloc, the Socialist Bloc and the Soviet Bloc, was the group of communist states of Central and Eastern Europe, East Asia, and Southeast Asia under the hegemony of the Soviet Union (USSR) that existed during the Cold War (1947–1991) in opposition to the capitalist Western Bloc. In Western Europe, the term Eastern Bloc generally referred to the USSR and its satellite states in the Comecon (East Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, and Albania);[a] in Asia, the Soviet Bloc comprised the Mongolian People's Republic, the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, the Lao People's Democratic Republic and the People's Republic of Kampuchea, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, and the People's Republic of China (before the Sino-Soviet split in 1961) In the Americas, the Communist Bloc included the Caribbean Republic of Cuba since 1961 and Grenada.[6]

The Soviet control of the Eastern Bloc was tested by the 1948 Czechoslovak coup d'état and the Tito–Stalin Split over the direction of the People's Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, the Chinese Communist Revolution (1949), and mainland China's participation in the Korean War. After Stalin's death in 1953, the Korean War ceased with the 1954 Geneva Conference. In Europe, anti-Soviet sentiment provoked the Uprising of 1953 in East Germany. The break-up of the Eastern Bloc began in 1956 with Nikita Khrushchev's anti-Stalinist speech On the Cult of Personality and Its Consequences. This speech was a factor in the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, which the Soviet Union suppressed. The Sino–Soviet split gave North Korea and North Vietnam more independence from both and facilitated the Soviet–Albanian split. The Cuban Missile Crisis preserved the Cuban Revolution from rollback by the United States, but Fidel Castro became increasingly independent of Soviet influence afterwards, most notably during the 1975 Cuban intervention in Angola.[6] That year, the communist victory in former French Indochina following the end of the Vietnam War gave the Eastern Bloc renewed confidence after it had been frayed by Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev's 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia to suppress the Prague Spring. This led to the People's Republic of Albania withdrawing from the Warsaw Pact, briefly aligning with Mao Zedong's China until the Sino-Albanian split.

Under the Brezhnev Doctrine, the Soviet Union reserved the right to intervene in other socialist states. In response, China moved towards the United States following the Sino-Soviet border conflict and later reformed and liberalized its economy while the Eastern Bloc saw the Era of Stagnation in comparison with the capitalist First World. The Soviet–Afghan War nominally expanded the Eastern Bloc, but the war proved unwinnable and too costly for the Soviets, challenged in Eastern Europe by the civil resistance of Solidarity. In the late 1980s, Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev pursued policies of glasnost (openness) and perestroika (restructuring) to reform the Eastern Bloc and end the Cold War, which brought forth unrest throughout the bloc.

How does the Heritage Foundation measure economic freedom?
Gwar [14]
The property rights component assesses the extent to which a country’s legal framework allows individuals to freely accumulate private property, secured by clear laws that are enforced effectively by the government. Relying on a mix of survey data and independent assessments, it provides a quantifiable measure of the degree to which a country’s laws protect private property rights and the extent to which those laws are respected. It also assesses the likelihood that private property will be expropriated by the state.

This is an excerpt from an eighth-grade history textbook:
yKpoI14uk [10]

The correct answer is D) The 1893 Columbian Exposition was very popular.

The statement that best represents the main idea of this source is "The 1893 Columbian Exposition was very popular."

This is the correct answer because the excerpt tries to convey the idea that despite the United States was a young nation with a population of just 65 million people, the 1893 Columbian Exposition attracted 27 million people from all over the world, a fact that made the exhibition to be a very popular one.

This meant that although a young nation, the United States generated great expectations in different parts of the world to know its culture, customs, political and economic advances, and social organization.
