Answer: Yes it did by allowing women to contribute to the economy.
Explanation:
The 19th Amendment guaranteed women in the America, the right to vote just like men. It as the result of a long term effort by women's suffrage groups in the United States who knew that being allowed to vote meant more economic opportunities.
After the Amendment, women voted in people who would push for more women's rights such that women could contribute economically.
As a result, today women now add a staggering amount of over $7.6 trillion to the U.S. GDP by working in companies and running businesses. It is estimated that women are entrepreneurs at the head of over 9.9 million businesses in the U.S. which employ more than 8 million people.
Both the Meiji Restoration in Japan and the efforts of Chancellor Otto von Bismarck in the German Empire were focused on unifying, strengthening and modernizing the government and economy of their nations.
Bismarck led the way in uniting the many German states and principalities into a single, powerful German Empire, created in 1871. In Japan, prior to the Meiji Restoration, shogun rule (rule by military leaders) held control over part of the country, but feudal warlords maintained much power in their own lands. In 1868, shogun rule was ended and the emperor was restored to full power over the country.
A push for rapid industrialization characterized both Germany and Japan in the latter portion of the 19th century.
A key difference, however, was that the various German states had already begun industrializing before Bismarck came to power in Prussia and led the creation of the united German Empire. Bismarck's government strongly backed and increased industrialization efforts. In Japan, before he period known as the Meiji Restoration, Japan was not focusing on industrialization. Feudal arrangements persisted. But the new emperor took the name "Meiji," meaning "enlightened rule." And under the reign of Emperor Meiji, which lasted till 1912, Japan aggressively pursued modernizing and westernizing it economy and way of life.
Answer:
C. The people, not the government, can best determine the structure of the economy
Explanation:
Adam Smith and David Ricardo are the fathers of economic Liberalism. They opposed mercantilism and the planning and control of the economy by the government. Under mercantilism, trade was controlled, one of the reasons was that the ruler was responsible for the well being of every subject, and had to protect them from the shocks of the economy. Liberalism opposed this idea, Smith argued that instead of controlling the economy, the government should let the market regulate itself.
For example, instead of stockpiling corn in case of a shortage, Smith argued that the government should sell the surplus and if there was a shortage, they would be able to buy food from other countries.
