Adam Smith (1723 – 1790) was a Scottish economist. In 1776, he published The Wealth of Nations, which became the foundation of modern economics.

Smith saw the first duty of government was to protect the nation from invasion. Next, he supported an independent court system and administration of justice to control crime and protect property. Finally Smith favoured a system of “public works” that profits-seeking individuals may not be able to efficiently build and operate.

At the beginning stages of industrialization, Smith recognized that repetitive factory jobs dulled the minds o workers. Smith wanted all classes, even the poorest, to benefit from the free-market system. This is why I think  Adam Smith would agree with government interventions with businesspeople like Social Security, minimum-wage laws, child-labour laws and anti-monopoly laws.

Which circumstances were a major cause of Russian weakness in the mid-1800s? Select all the correct answers. autocratic rule sho
Effectus [21]

Autocratic rule, serfdom and defeat in the Crimean War  circumstances were a major cause of Russian weakness in the mid-1800s.

<u>Answer:</u> Option A, D and F

<u>Explanation:</u>

Russia and most of Europe were in a state of animosity when Alexander I took the throne in March 1801. Russia appeared as the largest land force in Europe, and the first of the European victors over Napoleon. In such initiatives the enormous prestige gained was retained until the mid-century.

However, the Crimean War between 1853–56 showed this giant had clay feet. Under very mediocre rule, the massive empire was unable to raise, arm and bring enough troops to overpower the medium-sized French and English powers. Nicholas suffered in the bitter awareness of failure at large.
