Rosa Parks (1913-2005) performed an act of insurrection when she refused to stand up and give her bus seat, located the bus section that was supposed to be for black passengers, to a white woman after the bus driver requested her to do so because the white section of the vehicle was already full. This happened in Montgomery in 1955. She was arrested for violating the segregation laws from Alabama.
Her action and subsequent arrest triggered the start of the Montgomery Bus Boyycott, as a social protest within Civil Rights Movement that lasted from 1955 to 1956 and aimed to end segregation in US public facilities.
Laissez-faire or free enterprise system is the principle wherein the government has little or minimal interference in the nation's economy.
This principle allowed more people to open, specialize, and industrialize their business efforts. This practice boosted the economy making more profit not only for the business people but for the nation as a whole.
It also benefited consumers because they were able to have more choices in terms of basic and luxury products.
