In an essay, you will choose an entrepreneur and argue whether the free enterprise system was necessary for that individual to m
wariber [46]

Answer:

Free enterprise systems, refers to an economy where

the market determines prices, products, and services

rather than the government. In other words, businesses

and services are free of government control. As the

statement mentions it allows the supply and demand of

consumers to determine the success or failure of a

business. We can grab for example Steve Jobs, one

of the creators of the multi-billion company called

Apple. An economy where enterprises are forced to

follow the government rules, tend to limit

themselves to provide just the necessary. On the other

hand, if a business goes to the free market it opens

a whole new world of possibilities. When apple first

appeared in the market it wasn't very popular, but

then started growing popularity with its products

and slogans. Apple needed to become a free enterprise

business for it to become what it is now. Without

rules or restrictions, businesses could grow much more;

but always taking to detail that the supply and demand

will be the changing factor of success or failure.

I have to write an essay about the purpose of government, for this essay I have to choose between two presidents. 1. Thomas Jeff
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

They both are right especially during the time of their presidency. Thomas Jefferson believed that a strong federal government proved itself to be a necessity although he probably didn't like the idea at all. After all the founding fathers tried the Articles of Confederation (ratified 1781) and found out that it didn't really work.

Eight years later, they wrote the constitution that we currently live under. The federal government was given a lot more power which it needed. That doesn't mean it was fully embraced. Just that it was the next step. If anything, for all Jefferson's idealism, he was a pragmatist. If it worked, do it and be content.

====================

Lincoln saw the whole situation quite differently. The Civil War began with the underlying cause of state's rights. Later on (1863), Lincoln turned to the question of slavery. There was a hole even in the 1789 Constitution and that hole came back to haunt everyone. The question was individual rights. Slaves. The south could not easily survive without slave labor and because slaves were expensive, they were more or less humanely treated.  After the Civil War, their condition was a nightmare. Lincoln address the entire question of what was missing in the constitution although he did not bring any amendments to correct what he knew had to be corrected. He may have done so if he was not murdered. As it was it was left to Johnson to bring in the 13th amendment, which abolished slavery.
