Describe the Hepburn Act. What did the act achieve, and why was it different from the previous.
<u> </u>
<u> &Answer&</u>
<em>The Hepburn Act is a 1906 United States federal law that gave the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) the power to set maximum railroad rates and extended its jurisdiction. This led to the discontinuation of free passes to loyal shippers.[1] In addition, the ICC could view the railroads' financial records, a task simplified by standardized bookkeeping systems. For any railroad that resisted, the ICC's conditions would remain in effect until the outcome of legislation said otherwise</em>
Isolation and quarantine are public health practices used to protect the public by preventing exposure to people who have or may have a contagious disease.
Isolation separates sick people with a contagious disease from people who are not sick.
Quarantine separates and restricts the movement of people who were exposed to a contagious disease to see if they become sick. These people may have been exposed to a disease and do not know it, or they may have the disease but do not show symptoms.
The correct answer is B. Establish requirements for admitting new states to the Union
Explanation:
The purpose of the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 was to officially define and integrate territories that belonged to a region known as Northwest. This was required because the Northwest territories previously belonged to England and due to this, the Congress of Confederation (government of the time) did not have complete control over the territory.
Through this ordinance, the government ratified its power over the territory, guaranteed rights, and established requirements to admit states to the Union. This last accomplishment included the number of states that will be formed in the territory and the fact these will be free states (slavery was not allowed). According to this, the one that was an accomplishment was "Establish requirements for admitting new states to the Union."
Poland was bordered by both the Soviet Union and Germany making it an easy target from both sides.
