Answer:

Business monopolies.

Explanation:

In the late 19th century and early 20th, most companies were looking to form monopolies. By decreasing or nullifying the competition, the business's success was assured.

As an example, the Standard Oil Company, founded by John D. Rockefeller was one of the most powerful monopolies of its time. He was able to dictate fixed products, pay whatever wages he wanted to pay to workers, and controlled the market since his competitors weren't remotely close to his manufacturing levels.

However, it didn't lack opposition. in 1890 United States Senator John Sherman, attained the passage of the Sherman Antitrust Act in 1890, which allowed the Federal Government to break up any business who was in any way prohibiting competition. This act was widely used throughout the whole century, in the fight against monopolies.

Using complete sentences, discuss three of the visible changes in modern America that were born from anti-discrimination legisla
kari74 [83]

Answer:

Sample response: America is very different than it was over one-hundred fifty years ago when the Black Codes were passed in the South. Since then, there have been major legislative overhauls against discrimination and towards equal civil rights. A cursory look at the modern day United States illuminates many of the major differences. Many colleges have increased minority enrollments, interracial marriages are legal, and minorities have increased their presence and visibility in politics. Additionally, most overt racist policies, mostly relating to separate but equal facilities and opportunities, have been removed to allow minorities greater social and professional mobility.

Which of the following accurately describes a major difference between the western Roman Empire and the Byzantine Empire?
anyanavicka [17]

One major difference was A: The Byzantine government clearly placed the emperor as the highest religious authority, while the Roman government kept political and religious authority more separate.

<h3>How did the Byzantines differ from the western Romans?</h3>

The Western Romans had the Pope as the head of the church and the emperor as the head of the empire thereby keeping both offices separate.

The Byzantines on the other hand, had their emperor as both the head of the empire, and the head of the church.
