History

shutvik [7]4 years ago

The Dred Scott decision invalidated the idea of popular sovereignty promoted by Steven Douglas.

The Dred Scott decision basically said that slavery would be legal in all states of the Union. Living in a free state did not make a slave free. A Slave owner could bring his slaves with him into a free state that had voted to outlaw slavery. The slaves would remain his slaves even thought that was against the will of the people as expressed in popular sovereignty.

Douglas and the more moderate leaders in the North lost support due to the Dred Scott decision. This combined with the split in the democratic party allowed Abraham Lincoln and the Republicans to win the White House.

Talja [164]

The person who has been known up until today as the "father of modern economics" is Adam Smith. A thinker and philosopher from Scotland, born in 1723 and died in 1790, Adam Smith was given this important title because of his ideas and theories on laissez-fair and the tendency of free markets to regulate themselves by way of competition, supply, demand and self-interest. He wrote several books where he proposed his economic ideas, among which we have: The Theory of Moral Sentiments, where he expresses this ideal of a hidden hand, which means the capacity of markets to autoregulate and An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations. He was also the proponent of the theory of compensating wage differentials, which states that jobs that are riskier pay much better wages to workers because of the risk they represent, versus jobs that offer little to no risk. He is also known as the father of Capitalism.
