1. Law aimed at stopping monopolies, specifically Standard Oil​

History
1 answer:
pashok25 [27]3 years ago
6 0

Sherman’ antitrust law aimed at stopping monopolies especially, the famous New Hersey standard oil company was dissolved based on this law. This act aims at prohibiting any contracts, conspiracies in ‘restraint of trade’ and it proposed fair trade, it was a crime to create monopoly of a product under this law. This law actually helped small workers and encouraged fair competition between the businesses.

William Rockefeller established Standard oil Company in New Jersey, To give a tough opposition to his competitors, Rockefeller secretly discounted the shipping and transportation charges from railroads, he also formed a secret association with old refiners and bought their refineries at cheaper cost and started to produce more of crude oil.

It became a huge monopoly of supplying 90% of America with crude oil. These actions violated the Sherman’s antitrust law which prohibited Illegal monopoly.

What were the three main causes for the French Revolution? Other than taxes. Thank you !
Juli2301 [7.4K]
1. International: struggle for hegemony and Empire outstrips the fiscal resources of the state
2. Political conflict: conflict between the Monarchy and the nobility over the “reform” of the tax system led to paralysis and bankruptcy.
3. The Enlightenment: impulse for reform intensifies political conflicts; reinforces traditional aristocratic constitutionalism, one variant of which was laid out in Montequieu’s Spirit of the Laws; introduces new notions of good government, the most radical being popular sovereignty, as in Rousseau’s Social Contract [1762]; the attack on the regime and privileged class by the Literary Underground of “Grub Street;” the broadening influence of public opinion.
4. Social antagonisms between two rising groups: the aristocracy and the bourgeoisie
5. Ineffective ruler: Louis XVI
6. Economic hardship, especially the agrarian crisis of 1788-89 generates popular discontent and disorders caused by food shortages.

Not sure which are the three main but those are some.
