Hope this helps mate! :)

The National Maximum Speed Law (NMSL) in the United States was a provision of the Federal 1974 Emergency Highway Energy Conservation Act that prohibited speed limits higher than 55 miles per hour (90 km/h).

"in which two revolutions was the growing power of the middle class a major cause of revolt"
alexandr402 [8]
There multiple examples in which a growing power in the lower or middle class was a cause for concern and reform. The two most notable examples where the growing power was a major cause of revolt however, was the American and French Revolution.
The American Revolution has its roots within the French and Indian war (or Seven Year's war), which was a global conflict between France and England. The conflict existed on the frontier of the British colonies in America, and after the British won the war they began to heavily tax the colonists whom they spent resources to protect. By this time, there was already a growing middle class from New England through down to the southern colonies. These new taxation were done without consent nor representation for the colonists which greatly angered them as the taxes were already immensely expensive on daily items such as tea and stamps. The enlightenment thought was also influential, as new schools of thought challenged the position of the individual to the state and monarchy. Eventually, sentiment grew and the colonists fought for their freedom from heavy taxation and monarchy, winning it in 1783.
Similarly, the French revolution saw its beginnings in similar fashion to that of the American revolution. France just fought two major conflicts (French and Indian war, as well as siding with the colonists in the American Revolution). Economic hardships was heavily burdensome to the French lower and middle class who were constantly outvoted by the clergy and nobility in the French court, both who did not face as strong hardships as the middle and lower class.

This passage was written by famed British economist John Maynard Keynes in 1919. According to [the French] vision of the future,
Sveta_85 [38]

Germany signed the <em>Treaty of Versailles</em> with the Allies,officially ending World War 1.The British economist John Maynard Keynes left the treaty conference in protest. In his The Economic Consequences of the Peace 1919, Keynes predicted that the stiff war reparations and other harsh terms imposed on Germany by the Treaty would lead to financial collapse of Germany,which in turn would have serious economic and political repercussions on Europe and the World.

On June 5,1919 ,Keynes wrote a note to Lloyd George PM of England,that he was resigning his post in protest of the impending devastation of Europe.

In his book Keynes wrote""if we aim at the impoverishment of Central Europe,vengeance,I dare say will not limp.Nothing can then delay for very long the forces of Reaction and the despairing convulsions of Revolution,before which the horrors of the later German war will fade into nothing,and which will destroy, whoever is victor,the civilisation and the progress of our generation.""
