Which turning point would best start an era called "westward expansion"?

History

Hmm, there were several triggering events that promoted westward expansion of the United States.  Victory in war over Mexico (1848) gave the US new lands in the west.  A treaty with Britain (also in 1848) gave the US sole possession of some formerly disputed Oregon territory lands also. Plus, in 1848, gold was discovered in California (land newly in US possession after that Mexican war treaty), so that prodded westward expansion too.  Perhaps those are the initial "turning points" you're looking for. The completion of the Transcontinental Railroad in 1869 sure helped the process as it was underway, as well.

Answer: A lawyer

Explanation: Gideon v. Wainwright is a landmark case in United States Supreme Court history. In this case in 1963, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that states are required under the Sixth Amendment of the United States Constitution to provide legal counsel to defendants in felony cases who are unable to afford attorneys by themselves.

Mr Clarence Earl Gideon could not afford an attorney and his request for counsel.was denied by the Court with the excuse that the only time the court can appoint counsel to represent a defendant is when that person is charged with a capital offense.

However, Justice Clark's concurring opinion stated that the Sixth Amendment does not distinguish between capital and non-capital cases, so legal counsel must be provided for an indigent defendant in all cases.

The correct answer is allowed wage competition for laborers.

After conquering power in 1949, participating in the Korean War and the success of the 1st Five-Year Plan (1953-1957), Chinese leader Mao Zedong launched the Great Leap Forward (1958-1962), a program of deep reforms whose aim was to accelerate the march towards communism.

One of the creations of the Great Leap was the Popular Communes. They would replace the old agricultural production cooperatives, seeking to remove the last remnants of private property. The Communes brought together about 20,000 to 30,000 people, creating a social, agricultural, industrial, administrative, cultural, medical and military unit. They were administered by a Central Committee that controlled production and organized the Work Brigades.

This change in the direction of the paths of the revolution shifted the center of investment from the State to the countryside and no longer to the basic industries located in the cities. One of the objectives was to unite agricultural and industrial production, by installing industrial equipment in rural areas. In this way, the Great Leap intended to overcome the division between countryside and city, instituted by capitalism since its genesis.
