"the struggle against imperialism"
HISTORICAL
rule by an emperor.
EXAMPLE: ENGLAND TRYING TO TAKE OVER THE USA.
The first two-party system consisted of the Federalist Party, which supported the ratification of the Constitution, and the Democratic-Republican Party or the Anti-Administration party (Anti-Federalists), which opposed the powerful central government that the Constitution established when it took effect in 1789.
one advantage to this philosophy is that businesses faced fewer government rules and regulations. this allowes businesses to do many things. often rules and regulations add tothe costs that business faces. sometimes, rules and regulations make it harder to do business activities. when businesses have fewer rules and regulations they are generally willing to take more risks and to invest in the economy. with fewer rules and regulations, businesses have a big incentive to try to maximize profits.
a disadvantage of this policy is that businesses may engage in risky behaviors that could lead to future economic problems. in the 1920s, there were few rules and regulations on banks and on the investiment industry. to much money was being loaned to individuals and people could buy stocks woth only a small down payment. banks were also free to invest in the stock market. when the stock market crashed, many people and banks were financially ruined.
the Chinese workers were content/happy performing the jobs few white men wanted
Explanation:
- As the author of the text says "As long as Chinese were content with jobs few white men wanted, then the whites ignored them. But as soon as Chinese landed better jobs or ventured into more attractive industries then trouble brewed, especially during hard economic times. Whites feared employers would use the Chinese to drive down wages and reduce whites to a status no higher than that of the Chinese workers themselves."
- Otherwise, whites were sometimes actually doing some awful things to Chinese workers.
