Well used power role:

Obama asked Congress for approval of health reform, a key promise in his campaign and a legislative goal that aims to expand medical coverage to all US citizens. On July 14, 2009, Democrats in the House of Representatives presented a health reform bill and Obama had the expectation that Congress would authorize the plan before the end of the year. One of the components of the health system reform project is the creation of an optional insurance for those who do not have the possibility of accessing private insurance, by means of which it seeks to reduce expenses and improve the quality of public health. On September 9, at the extraordinary session of Congress, he delivered a speech in which he defended his proposal, also denied all the rumors that emerged in summer by the opposition, noting that the project has a cost of approximately 900 000 million of dollars in a period of ten years. On March 21, 2010, the House of Representatives finally approved sanitary reform - with amendments such as the prohibition of using federal funds to fund abortions - by 219 votes in favor and 212 against.

Role of Power that was not well used or could have improved:

On May 11, 2009 Obama replaced General David McKiernan as army top commander in Afghanistan with the former commander of the Special Forces, Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal, with the conviction that the experience of McChrystal would help bring security to Afghans and facilitate the use of anti-insurgency tactics. However, McChrystal submitted his resignation on June 23, 2010, due to the publication in Rolling Stone magazine of harsh criticism of the general and his team to the Obama Administration, for his management and direction of the war in Afghanistan, replaced by General David Petraeus.

1. Which of the following helped fuel economic growth by encouraging people to buy American goods? (1 point)
Nataly [62]
1. The correct answer here is the third option. 

One way to fuel your economy is to have people buy domestic products. After the Great Depression the US economy was in shambles and in order to revitalize it even just a little, the government used protective tariffs. When you impose taxes, that is tariffs the price of the goods they are placed on will increase. Thus the domestic products would be cheaper and thus would be bought more than imported, more expensive goods. 

2.The correct answer here is the first option.

A cartel is a group of firms, producers or individuals that, while on the surface independent, work together in order to increase their profits by manipulating the market by some restrictive practices like price fixing. On the other hand a monopoly is when a single company or an individual control the whole market and thus have complete freedom in setting the quality of  products and their prices. 

3. 
The correct answer here is the fourth option. 

For a long time the work hours and the activities of the people have been dictated by the time of the day and the amount of available sunlight. That all changed with the arrival of electricity and the invention of electric light sources. These have tremendously  increased the usable time of the day for people and created a revolution in the daily life of the people. 

4.The correct answer here would be the third option.

The Sherman Antitrust Law is a landmark statute and a law that represented a great win for the United States and its people as it was a law that limited the power of the large companies and was a step in right direction when it came to fighting monopolies and trusts. 

5.
The correct answer here is the first option. 

It was Samuel Gompers that was elected the first president of the American Federation of Labor. The American Federation of Labor was a labor organization that operated on the level of the whole state and which consisted mainly from the various craft unions. The group attracted many who were not satisfied with the Knights of Labor. 

6.The correct answer here is the first option.

The Haymarket Affair refers to a bombing that occurred during what originally started as a peaceful rally in support of 8 hour work day and workers rights. But unfortunately, someone threw dynamite at the police which who then reacted to disperse the crowd. This event served as a catalyst for the workers and the people of US to turn away from radicalism. 

7. The correct answer here is the third option.

It was during the 1880 and 1885 that a technological boom occurred. The more and more things were being rapidly invented and patented which resulted in the doubling of the number of patents granted during this period. This was a particularly eventful and fruitful period of the Second Industrial Revolution. 

8.The correct answer here is the first option. 

The ICC here refers to now defunct government regulatory agency whose primary purpose was to regulate the railroad operations. The ICC which stands for Interstate Commerce Commission was in 1887 by the Interstate Commerce Act of 1887 and it was functioning until 1995 when its duties have been transfered to Surface Transportation Board<span>.

9.The correct answer here is again the first option.

It was not easy being a worker in 1800s. Firstly you had to work in unsanitary conditions and more importantly in unsafe condition as worker safety was not deemed to important. You had to work long hours usually from 10-16 hours a day and you did that for a small, pitiful wage. 

10.The correct answer here is the last option.

Among the presented organizations it was the Knights of Labor that were founded first as they were founded in December 1869. The second organization founded was American Federation of Labor in 1886 mainly from the people who were not satisfied with the work of Knights of Labor.
