What is the purpose of Usury Laws?

Social Studies
1 answer:
morpeh [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: B) To prohibit charging excess interest on loans.

Without these laws in place, price gouging (more or less) is very possible. Though with things like high interest rate on credit cards, it's a bit vague and unclear just what constitutes "unreasonable" in terms of how high the rate gets. It seems subjective in my opinion.

lys-0071 [83]
The correct answers are fewer and more.
There are fewer letters than phonemes in the English language, which means that there are more sounds which you can produce than there are letters to write them. Additionally, consonants can give you more information about the sound (whether it is nasal, aspirated, dental, etc.) than vowels (a, e, i, o, i, y) which don't have that many characteristics.

What happens if a state or local government writes a law which conflicts with the U.S. Constitution or a federal law?
lapo4ka [179]
<span>The Supremacy Clause is a clause within Article VI of the U.S. Constitution which dictates that federal law is the "supreme law of the land". This means that judges in every state must follow the Constitution, laws, and treatises of the federal government in matters which are directly or indirectly within the government's control. Under the doctrine of preemption, which is based on the Supremacy Clause, federal law preempts state law, even when the laws conflict. Thus, a federal court may require a state to stop certain behavior it believes interferes with, or is in conflict with, federal law.</span>
