The U.S. government has consumer-protection regulations that impose strict quality standards on food, drugs, and other consumer

goods. Many countries in the rest of the world do not have such high standards, and WTO members have filed complaints against the United States, disputing the U.S. government's right to restrict imports that do not meet high standards. The claim is that these standards discriminate against foreign producers and constitute unfair trade restrictions. The WTO often agrees with these complaints. In 1996, the WTO ruled that an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulation calling for cleaner gasoline was discriminatory against foreign producers and violated WTO agreements. The EPA was forced to rewrite the rule to allow for dirtier gasoline.  Did this revision help world trade? Why or why not? Did the revision hurt the United States? Explain.

Yes, the revision helps world trade.  Because originally, they only allowed certain types of gasoline into the country, and now they have to allow even more types.  It also hurt the U.S, since they couldn't choose, and might have to have poorer quality gasoline in the country.

What is the strongest point made by the World Systems Theory? (What does the theory explains well?)
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

World-systems analysis is a mode of analysis that aims to transcend the structures of knowledge inherited from the 19th century, especially the definition of capitalism, the divisions within the social sciences, and those between the social sciences and history

Explanation:

"World-system" refers to the inter-regional and transnational division of labor, which divides the world into core countries, semi-periphery countries, and the periphery countries. Core countries focus on higher skill, capital-intensive production, and the rest of the world focuses on low-skill, labor-intensive production and extraction of raw materials. This constantly reinforces the dominance of the core countries. Nonetheless, the system has dynamic characteristics, in part as a result of revolutions in transport technology, and individual states can gain or lose their core (semi-periphery, periphery) status over time. This structure is unified by the division of labour. It is a world-economy rooted in a capitalist economy. For a time, certain countries become the world hegemon; during the last few centuries, as the world-system has extended geographically and intensified economically, this status has passed from the Netherlands, to the United Kingdom and (most recently) to the United States.

World-systems theory has been examined by many political theorists and sociologists to explain the reasons for the rise and fall of states, income inequality, social unrest, and imperialism.

  • Part of the US Constitution that covers the process for ratification of the Constitution — Article VII

Article Seven describes how U.S. states may ratify the Constitution, including how many (nine) must ratify it to make it valid.

  • System where government power is divided between national and state (local) governments — Federal system

The United States functions according to a system of governance called federalism, which means that the White House (national government) shares power with smaller units like state, district, and municipal governments. States actually have their own Constitutions, which tend to be more specific than the national one. While Washington controls foreign, defense, and monetary policy (among others) over the whole country, it delegates to state & local governments everything which has to do with police departments, schools, driver’s licenses, and parking tickets for example.

  • People that were against the ratification of the Constitution. They felt the national government had too much authority and that it would come to abuse its power. They also disliked the fact there was no Bill of Rights to state the rights that citizens had and to work to protect those rights. — Antifederalists

Antifederalists preferred the previous 1777 document serving as a constitution, the Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union, because it gave state governments more power. A leading Antifederalist figure among the Founding Fathers was Patrick Henry.

  • The Federalists agreed to add a Bill of Rights to the Constitution, during the first session of the Congress for the new Constitution. They asked that they ratify now and amend the Constitution later. They agreed to the compromise and ratified. — Massachusetts Compromise

The Massachusetts Compromise is important because it guarantees that amendments may be added to the Constitution.

  • People that were supporters or “For” the ratification of the Constitution to replace the Articles of Confederation — Federalists

Federalists also existed as early as the United States' creation by the Founding Fathers. A prominent example is John Adams, second president of the U.S. They however lost influence at the turn of the 19th century with the election of Thomas Jefferson.
