1. The difference between a bond and a stock is that stocks are shares that represent ownership in a company, and bonds are a form of long-term debt where you invest your money (essentially, a business loans money FROM you and promises to pay it back by a certain date). You should see a sizable return at the end of a bond's maturity date.
2. What makes a mutual fund an attractive investing option is that it is a diversified portfolio of different investments, such as bonds and stock. Since it is more spread out there is less overall risk.
3. A commercial bank differs from a Savings and Loan (S&L) association because S&L associations are more focused on residential mortgage, whereas commercial banks work more with large businesses.
4. A commercial bank differs from a credit union because most credit unions are not-for-profit establishments with their earnings paid back in the form of lower loan rates and higher savings rates. Commercial banks are for-profit and whatever they earn are paid back to stockholders only.
The revision or amending of existing articles of the confederation was the main reason for calling the constitutional convention of 1797. The Constitutional Convention (1797) which is also known as the Philadelphia Conference, or the Grand Conference of Philadelphia) took place in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania from 25 May to 14 September 14.
Though the aim of this Convention was to amend (making changes in the existing articles) the Articles of Confederation, many of its promoters (or advocates) wanted to build the new government instead of solving the issues of the existing one.
The purposes of government include maintenance of a social order, providing public services, providing national protection and making national economic decisions.
The Fugitive Slave Law had many features which seemed to violate the liberties of free white northerners. It allowed the federal government to deputize citizens, even against their will, and force them to take part in posses or other groups to seize fugitive slaves.
