Answer:

Explanation:

One of the biggest problems was that the national government had no power to impose taxes. To avoid any perception of “taxation without representation,” the Articles of Confederation allowed only state governments to levy taxes. To pay for its expenses, the national government had to request money from the states.

How did cotton gin cause slavery to go west

Nostrana [21]

<h3>Following are the reasons how the invention of cotton gin caused slavery to go west: </h3>

The invention of cotton gin simplified the process of removing the seeds from cotton.

The overall simplification of the process made the cotton-growing farmers take more land under cultivation.

The unused lands of the west were thus started being preferred by the farmers for growing cotton.

Hence, to work on the cotton fields in the west, the farmers took slaves to the west.

horsena [70]

Answer:

Sunk-cost fallacy.

Explanation:

The sunk-cost fallacy refers to the behavior done by the individuals when they continue such behavior because they already invested resources on it (time, money, effort).

In this example, Les invested money on the megaphone of root beer, he starts drinking it but he becomes full, nevertheless he keeps drinking it (even when his friend tells him he will get sick) because he "bought it and not going to waste one drop of it"

Less continues drinking the root beer even though he's already full because he thinks he already invested money on buying it.

Thus, this is an example of the sunk-cost fallacy.
