History

Answer:

The native Americans lacked the immune system to fight diseases like measles and smallpox

Explanation:

  • The 15th century brought many diseases with the arrival of Europeans in Native America. These diseases have taken on the form of epidemics and have virtually wiped out the population of Native Americans.
  • This is because Americans have no prior exposure to European culture and lifestyle, so they have not developed the immunity needed internally to fight diseases like measles, smallpox, and cholera. They do not even have drugs to prevent or fight these diseases.

How does executive order differ from the law

What are the consequences of a strict interpretation of the term "commerce" when deciding the constitutionality of federal laws?
djverab [1.8K]

Answer and Explanation:

1. If the term "trade" is interpreted strictly, the concept of free trade will be undermined. This is because the literal interpretation will give the State the power to completely control and manage trade, which interferes with the concepts of economic liberalism which states that the State should not meddle in commercial matters beyond the protection of property.

2. As a consequence of this strict interpretation there would be consequences in the relations between large and small companies, since the State could interfere in the way they are established and how they compete with each other.
