The correct answer is: "unreasonable charges for transporting people or goods unfair prices for the goods that are sold to consumers".

The abovementioned situations were established as violations of the law. The Interstate Commerce Act of 1887 attempted to regulate the railroad system, specially the monopolistic practices widespread within this industry. Anyway, it did not give power to the public authorities to decide on the rates that should be applied, it just required that rates were "reasonable and just,"

1.) Which issue is NOT a major challenge that both Australia and New Zealand face today?
Elodia [21]

1.) D.) High birth rates

As most of the countries in the world, Australia and New Zealand have some issues that make them problems, but the high birth rates is not one of those issues. These two nations do not have high birth rates, in fact they have low birth rates. The governments of these nations try to convince the people to have more children as they are starting to face an aging population which is very damaging for the economy. The younger population though is not that interested in having lot of children, and some don't want to have children at all.

2.) B.)They crowd out native animal territories

The invasive species are species that have been introduced into a new environment, be it naturally or because of the humans. These species more often than not manage to outcrowd the native species territories. This happens because the invasive species are often able to reproduce quicker. They tend to outcompete the native species, and also the native species do not have a defense mechanism against them. This results in explosion of the populations of invasive species, while the native species have significant decrease or go extinct.

Explain the connection between containment of communism and the interstate highway act.
aleksley [76]
Cold War concerns about the containment of communism were a priority for President Dwight Eisenhower, who had been a prominent military general before becoming president.  His concerns for increasing and strengthening America's national security gave impetus to the plan to create an interstate highway system.

Eisenhower, the former general, had seen how Germany's Autobahn system of highways had been an asset to their strength.  He came to see highways as an important part of our country's national defense.  When Eisenhower gave a speech to Congress in 1955, to promote the building of a federal highway system, he listed safety on the roads and economic advantages as strong reasons for the huge project. But he also listed a national security reason, saying:  "In case of an atomic attack on our key cities, the road net must permit quick evacuation of target areas, mobilization of defense forces and maintenance of every essential economic function. But the present system in critical areas would be the breeder of a deadly congestion within hours of an attack" (Special Message to the Congress Regarding a National Highway Program, <span>February 22, 1955).
