Answer:

The correct answer is D. A trust is a group of companies joined to eliminate competition, fix prices at high levels and drive smaller competitors out of business.

Explanation:

A trust is a contractually agreed union of several companies. The aim can be to create a market or production monopoly in order to be able to eliminate competition and thus fix prices. Most of the time the companies give up their legal and economic independence, which then lies with the managing trustees of the holding company, but not the participation in the profits of the holding company.

The difference between a cartel and a trust is that a trust is a combination of several companies into one, while a cartel is a close partnership between two or more. Trusts pursue similar goals as corporations, but can pursue them more efficiently, since the subordinate companies have become completely dependent.

The main way in which geography affected the lives of those living in West Africa was that its location on the west coast of Africa led it to be a prominent place where slaves were shipped to the Caribbean--meaning that those who lived there were more likely to be captured and sold as slaves.

_____________ are rights that you have just because you were born.
Dominik [7]

<u>Natural Rights</u> are rights that you have just because you were born.

<u>Civil</u> are rights you are given for belonging to a specific society.

<u>Religious Freedom</u> and <u>Freedom of Speech</u> are rights that are guaranteed by the First Amendment.

Defamation can be broken down into two parts <u>Libel</u> (written) and <u>Slander</u> (verbal).

The Supreme Court case <u>Texas v. Johnson</u> held up the burning of the U.S. flag.

The Supreme Court case <u>Plessy v. Ferguson</u> ruled separate but equal which was overruled by <u>Brown v. Board</u> which ruled separate is not equal.

The 13th Amendment accomplished the task of <u>Abolishing Slavery</u>.

Thanks to the work of people like Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Stanton the <u>19th</u> amendment was passed which accomplished <u>women's suffrage</u>.

The freedom of religion breaks down into two parts which are <u>Free Exercise of Religion</u> and <u>No Establishment of Religions by the Government</u>.

The U.S. v O'Brien case is the litmus test of <u>The First Amendment's Guarantee of Free Speech</u>.  

<u>Rousseau</u> says that people give us some of their rights for protection for their other rights.

How can the tudor period be considered a turning point in british history
il63 [147K]

Later on, the well-known monarchs Mary I ("Blood y Mary") and Elizabeth I, both members of the Tudor dynasty, came to throne, performing many history-changing actions.
