Cecil Rhodes authorized an attack on Boer territories.
May I ask, what text? Why are so many people posting this type of question without adding the passage?!?
Suppose that South Carolina doesn't have laws against price-gouging, profiteering unreasonably it would be harder for the state to recover from the disaster. Commodities and gas would likely have higher prices where people would be forced to buy even if they don't have enough money because they don't have a choice. North Carolina would be more stable enough to recover since they have stricter policies to help their constituents during the calamity and be able to meet their needs by having affordable access to goods.
Legislature
A representative assembly of persons that makes statutory laws for a municipality, state, or nation.
A legislature is the embodiment of the doctrine of popular sovereignty, which recognizes that the people are the source of all political power. Citizens choose by popular vote the legislators, or representatives, whom they want to serve them. The representatives are expected to be sensitive to the needs of their constituents and to represent their constituents' interests in the legislature.
