Why does a.minimum wage exist?

History

LekaFEV [45]3 years ago

Arguments in favour of a minimum wage mostly hang on the idea that firms have a responsibility to ensure that their workers earn enough to live on. If a firm can’t pay its workers enough to live on, then it isn’t a viable business, because it is dependent on wage subsidies. Of course “enough to live on” depends where you live: the cost of living in London is considerably higher than it is in, say, Newcastle, so a minimum wage that would give a reasonable standard of living in Newcastle is starvation level in London. The campaign for a voluntary Living Wage tries to persuade firms to pay above the current UK minimum wage, which is perceived as being below the real cost of living.

In what ways do you think Americans would be expected to "ask what they
raketka [301]

The correct answer to this open question is the following,

Americans would be expected to "ask what they could do for their country" in their commitment to do anything necessary in order to cooperate with the federal government of the United States under the leadership of President John F. Kennedy.

I think I would have reacted with emotion and support to his message during his inaugural address because President Kennedy represented hope for the American people during difficult times of the Cold War, where the Soviet Union and the United States had many differences and confrontations due to the arms race, the space race, and the spread of Communism.

What was the result of the Supreme Court decision for Worcester v. Georgia? It required white men to leave the Indians' lands in
inysia [295]

Answer and Explanation:

The Supreme Court in Worcester v. Georgia analyzed that  the Cherokee Nation was considered a separate political entity that could not be run by the state. Georgia's license law was illegitimate, and Worcester's conviction should be overturned. Dating back of early colonial America, the Native American communities were conceived of as "separate nations,” the Court first pointed to evidence. The Court then claimed that today's "treaties and laws of the United States [also] contemplate the Indian territory  separated from that of the states, and provide that all intercourse with them shall be carried on exclusively by the government of the union."

That is why the United States can negotiate the terms of Indian lands and the use of thence. States were shortfalls of constitutional power to deal with such "nations" at all. Thus, Georgia could not pass the license law. Moreover, it also could not convict Worcester for violation of the law.
