Answer:

Monopolies are bad for the economy because lack of competition allows a few to set prices, stagnate competition.

Explanation:

How did the rich take advantage:

The rich had ready capital to either buy out smaller competitors or drive them out with undercut prices until the competitor failed, then prices to consumer went back up even higher.

It happened in the early industrial revolution:  Rockefeller/Standard Oil,

Carnegie and JP Morgan= Steel industry

Still going on today, especially in the tech arena.

Able to manipulate what we buy, the way we think, etc.

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Napoleon came to power in France through the coup d’etat.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Napoleon came to power in France through the coup d’etat. This move brought an end to the five member directory in France and the French consulate came in its place. This took place on 9 November 1799.

Napoleon had returned to France and was respected due to his victories in the Middle East. A false threat that the Jacobin coup gaining control in Paris was made and the members of the Councils were relocated. Napoleon took charge of the local troops.  

Later three members of the Directory were made to resign and the Directory lost quorum. The protests of the two remaining members were suppressed. Military power was then used to suppress further protests and the counsel was formed with Napoleon as the most powerful member in it.  

Finally the first French empire came into being.
