describe what you think Roosevelt meant when he described the United States as the “arsenal of democracy"

History

Roosevelt stopped short of asking that Americans remain emotionally neutral in the European conflict. FDR knew that the only chance Britain and France would have to defeat the German Reich was to have ample supplies of weaponry. He immediately began to press Congress to repeal the ARMS EMBARGO.

The request was simple. Allow trade of MUNITIONS with belligerent nations on a "cash and carry" basis. There would be no danger to American shipping if the Allies had to carry the supplies on their own ships. Isolationists were concerned, but support for the President's initiative was strong enough. The NEUTRALITY ACT OF 1939 ended the arms embargo and permitted the sales of munitions on a "cash and carry" basis.

Hope this answer helps! feel free to ask any additional questions :)

How do new corporations acquire the capital they need to produce goods?​
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

Explanation:In general, economic growth occurs as a result of increases in the production of goods and services. Increased consumer spending, increased international trade, and businesses that increase their investment in capital spending can all impact the level of production of goods and services in an economy.

For example, as consumers buy more homes, home construction and contractors see increases in revenue. As companies invest in their businesses in order to expand their products and services, they hire more employees and increase salaries or wages. All of this activity leads to economic growth, which can be measured by gross domestic product (GDP)—the total monetary or market value of all the finished goods and services produced within a country's borders in a given period.

compare Boerne v. Flores to Marbury v. Madison. Which power was used by the Supreme Court in each case? How were the Supreme Cou
GalinKa [24]
<span>Flores is an example of judicial review, which was created in Madison. The court can use cases such as Boerne to determine the constitutionality of laws passed by Congress. In Marbury, the Court ruled that Congress had overstepped its constitutional powers with the Judiciary Act of 1789. In Boerne, the Court again ruled that Congress overstepped its powers. Congress must abide by the principle of limited government, and it must respect separation of powers.   </span>

What circumstances led up to the fashoda crisis and the boer war?
Mrrafil [7]
Ambush. The Boers were rough civilians who knew the land, were good marksmen. The US military would call it "asymetrical warfare" (where the two sides are very dissimilar in terms of strengths, tactics and size). 2. Tremendous new capability of distance killing. New rifled guns meant that a good marksman could kill a man at much greater distances. 3. The first real focus on "hearts and minds" as the British recognized that the civilian population provided significant support for the "commandos" (a term that came out of this war" so <span>they formed "concentration camps" to herd all civilians into.</span>
