The United States had adopted an isolationist view, not wanting to be involved in affairs across the ocean that were not directly related to our national security.  

The US declaration of war by Congress finally did occur on April 6, 1917.

The reasons that led to declaring war:

1.  In January, 1917, Germany had resumed its policy of unrestricted submarine warfare.  Germany had halted its attacks on non-military vessels (which it suspected of carrying military supplies) after the furor over the sinking of the Lusitania in 1915.  But now Germany was resuming attacks by its U-boats.

2.  In February, 1917, the "Zimmerman Telegram" was intercepted by British intelligence and shared with the US.  Germany's foreign minister, Arthur Zimmerman, had telegraphed an offer to Mexico's ambassador seeking Mexico's support in war vs. the United States in exchange for getting land back from the US.

3.  On April 2, 1917, President Wilson made a powerful speech to Congress in which he argued that the nation needed to enter the war "to make the world safe for democracy."  Wilson's speech was powerfully convincing, and four days later, Congress declared war.

6. In response to rising prices, the local government passes a law that says the price
Leviafan [203]

At the lower price, sellers will be willing to make 40 loaves of bread.

At the lower price, customers will want to buy 60 loaves of bread.

<h3>What is a price ceiling?</h3>

Price ceiling is when the government determines the maximum price a good or service should be sold for. It is binding when it is set below equilibrium price.

In order to determine the quantity demanded at the price of $5.50, trace $5.50 to a point on the demand curve(the downward sloping curve). In order to determine the quantity supplied at the price of $5.50, trace $5.50 to a point on the supply curve(the upward sloping curve).
