The Articles of Confederation were structured to allow the federal government very little power for example the federal government had almost no control over taxes and each state had its own individual government. This is because the American colonists had suffered greatly at the hands of the British government because they made them do things they did not want to but had no control over, hence the structure of the Articles of Cony
An important benefit of the laissez-faire policies of the federal government in the late 19th century is that many American industries, such as railroads, steel and oil, achieved rapid growth.
Industrial expansion accelerated during and after the Civil War. During the Civil War the Union Congress approved bond issues and land grants to finance the construction of the transcontinental railroad by the Central Pacific and Union Pacific railroads. The railroad connected California with the Midwest, and made protected, all-weather coast-to-coast rail travel and transport economically feasible.

Missouri Plan, method of selecting judges that originated in the state of Missouri and subsequently was adopted by other U.S. jurisdictions. It involves the creation of a nominating commission that screens judicial candidates and submits to the appointing authority (such as the governor) a limited number of names of individuals considered to be qualified. The appointing authority chooses from the list, and any one so chosen assumes the judgeship for a probationary period. After this period the judge stands for popular election for a much longer term, not competing against other candidates but basing his candidacy on previous judgments. Under the Missouri Plan, voters decide whether or not to retain the judge in office.
