The United States would have definitely risked losing World War 1 if it had not passed the Espionage and Sedition Acts to suppress the emotions and dissent of the people because the enemy nations were on the rise and passing this Act meant the abolition of traitors and enemies within the nation supporting Alien enemies (enemies related within the German and other similarities)

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • By World War 1 it was difficult to separate the issues of radicalism, labor, Socialism. The Federal government viewed these as menaces.
  • The Sedition provided penalties for people who published, wrote or published anything false and scandalous against the Government of the United States.
  • The Naturalization Act required people to be resident for 14 years before acquiring citizenship.
  • America won the War by knowing how to deal with foreigners and the immigrants that came to its jurisdiction.
  • The United States declared war on Germany on April 6th 1917, most of the Americans during that time were second-generation immigrants born of German descent and eventually these people fell under suspicion of being disloyal.
  • Hence due to circumstances like this, The Espionage and Sedition Acts was passed.

Why might a government intervene in a market economy during times of war? to increase profits to mobilize resources quickly to c
babymother [125]

The correct answer is B) to mobilize resources quickly.

A government might intervene in a market economy during times of war to mobilize resources quickly.

although a country operates under a Capitalist economy, during times of war the system can be adjusted.

In the free-enterprise system, the federal government has minimum regulation of the economy. The free market is the main component of Capitalism where owners can be as rich as they can, and employees can benefit from bonuses and other incentives.

However, during a war, the government needs to mobilize resources quickly to send weaponry and supplies to the war front. That is why it can intervene in the economy. Indeed this was what happened in the United States during World War I and World War II.

How and why did the Federalists seem to overreact to the emergence of the Republicans as powerful contenders for national favor?
meriva

The Federalists, a group made up of merchants, bankers, manufacturers, wealthy farmers, plantation owners, in other words, well-educated citizens; thought that Republicans were uneducated and a second class citizens. At Government level, those two groups were represented by Jefferson and Hamilton. Hamilton believed that elite should rule, in comparison to Jefferson who thought that a common man was capable of self-control.

Having this said, the Federalist did not want the Republicans to vote or have any voice in the new nation that was born. A few years later, both parties went to elections and in 1706 the Federalist won the elections. But in 1800, Republicans beat the Federalists and Jefferson became president of the United States. And 1812 a war took place, the Federalists vs the Republicans, and the Federalist party disappeared as a result of their defeat.

Explain how these two readings work together to help provide a picture of how Americans responded to the dramatic changes that w
fredd [130]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

You did not include the readings. Without them, we do not know what your references are. However, doing some research we can comment on the following general terms.

If your readings refer to the book "Walden" and the "Lowell Mill Girls," then our comment would be the following.

Henry David Thoreau was the author of "Walden." It shows how Americans lived in the country and their customs, highlighting the importance of living in solitude with mother nature.

The "Lowell Mill Girls" tells the story of the young women that had to work in the industries of Lowell, Massachusetts. Historians consider that approximately 8,000 women had to work in textile factories.

Both books refer to a part in United States history when Americans had to respond to the dramatic changes that were taking place during the first half of the nineteenth century, where industries hired people offering low paid jobs and workers labored under unhealthy conditions for long hours.
