Answer:

The correct answer is A. The Teller Amendment said that the United States would leave an independent Cuba's government alone.

Explanation:

The Teller Amendment was adopted by the US Congress on April 11, 1898, on the eve of the Spanish-American War, in which the United States intervened on the island of Cuba.

During the Cuban War of Independence (1895-1898), Republican politicians such as Henry Cabot Lodge and Theodor Roosevelt had called for annexation of Cuba. To avoid any appearance of self-interest, an amendment was added to the declaration of war to Spain at the suggestion of Senator Henry Teller of Colorado: the American intervention was not allowed to result in annexation of Cuba or any other form of control over the island and its population. The Americans only claimed to want to end the humanitarian catastrophe and not want to expand their territory.

Answer: B) To prohibit charging excess interest on loans.

Without these laws in place, price gouging (more or less) is very possible. Though with things like high interest rate on credit cards, it's a bit vague and unclear just what constitutes "unreasonable" in terms of how high the rate gets. It seems subjective in my opinion.

o-na [289]

Answer:

The individual lives and acts within society but society is nothing, in spite of the combination of individuals for cooperative effort. On the other hand, society exists to serve individuals—not the other way around. Human life and society almost go together.
