Demand for a product rises
Answer:
A
Explanation:
High tariffs meant that the Americans were taxed heavily when participating in trades, which made it very difficult to efficiently sell goods/compete in the marketplace.
The correct answer is "Elected leaders were capable of abusing their power."
For Lyndon B. Johnson, he abused the powers given to him in the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution passed by the United States Congress. His massive escalation in Vietnam despite the lack of US success shows how he abused his executive power.
For Richard Nixon, he tried to cover up a huge break in to the Democratic National Convention headquarters at the Watergate complex. He tried to use the excuse of "executive privilege" as a means to keep his recorded conversations from the American public.
Answer:
1. International - 2. Political conflict - 3. The Enlightenment - 4. Social antagonisms - 5. Ineffective ruler - 6. Economic hardship
Explanation:
International: struggle for hegemony and Empire outstrips the fiscal resources of the state
- Political conflict: conflict between the Monarchy and the nobility over the “reform” of the tax system led to paralysis and bankruptcy
- The Enlightenment: impulse for reform intensifies political conflicts; reinforces traditional aristocratic constitutionalism, one variant of which was laid out in Montequieu’s Spirit of the Laws; introduces new notions of good government, the most radical being popular sovereignty, as in Rousseau’s Social Contract [1762]; the attack on the regime and privileged class by the Literary Underground of “Grub Street;” the broadening influence of public opinion.
- Social antagonisms between two rising groups: the aristocracy and the bourgeoisie
- Ineffective ruler: Louis XVI
- Economic hardship, especially the agrarian crisis of 1788-89 generates popular discontent and disorders caused by food shortages.
