Event: what led the US become involved in the Korean War during the early 1950s
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

Containment of communism

Explanation:

After WWII Truman's policy towards communism was to contain and prevent its spread, rather than intervene against the USSR and China, which would have been a fools errand especially after the war. After China "fell" to communism and it seemed that Korea would follow, U.S. policymakers feared that all of Asia would be invaded by communist forces and the U.S. would be threatened by an insurmountable military foe, communist countries allied with the Soviet Union taking over Asia and Europe and coming for the USA next.

Korea was occupied by Japan during WWII, and by 1948 the Soviet Union liberated the northern half, then the United States liberated the southern half. The northern half was communist, the southern half was not. In 1949 the Chinese communist revolution created another communist ally bordering North Korea, and with support from China and the USSR, North Korea invaded the South and captured Seoul.

At the time, the U.S. was deeply concerned over the invasion not only because it was hostile and internationally condemned, but because officials feared the "domino effect" of communism spreading from the USSR across Asia and Europe, as well as rising from South America, and the entire world slowly being taken over by USSR-allied communists who wanted to destroy America.

This excerpt is from The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith.
Tju [1.3M]

The first alternative is correct (A).

The man for Adam Smith is naturally selfish and always seeks to satiate his own interests. However, for Smith this is economically positive. When the social group seeks to maximize its interests, the economy is stimulated through the exchange and sale of goods in a market where everyone wants to obtain benefits.  That is why Smith maintains that it is not of the benevolence of the butcher that we have our dinner, but rather because the butcher has the ambition to profit, and therefore provides the meat. When all individuals act together for their ambitions, society gains through the supply and consumption of products. This is the mechanism called the "invisible hand" by Adam Smith.

Maysville road: Jackson vetoed the bill on the grounds that federal funding of intrastate projects of this nature was unconstitutional. He declared that such bills violated the principle that the federal government should not be involved in local economic affairs. Jackson also pointed out that funding for these kinds of projects interfered with paying off the national debt.
National Bank veto: <span>As his term continued, Jackson truly grew a desire to crush the Second Bank of the United States. Over time he had decided that it could not continue as it was, and that it did not warrant reform. It must be destroyed. Jackson's reason for this conclusion was an amalgamation of his past financial problems, his views on states' rights, and his Tennessee roots. </span>
