Answer:

2 major causes of the civil war are Slavery and States rights.

Slavery

One cause for the Civil War was slavery. The South relied on slavery for labor to work the fields. Many people in the North believed that slavery was wrong and evil. These people were called abolitionists. They wanted slavery to be illegal throughout the United States. Abolitionists such as Frederick Douglass, John Brown, Harriet Tubman, and Harriet Beecher Stowe began to convince more and more people of the evil of slavery. This made wealthy landowners in the South fearful that their way of life would come to an end.

States' Rights

Another cause for the War was states rights. Since the Constitution was first written there had been arguments about how much power the states should have versus how much power the federal government should have. The southern states felt that the federal government was taking away their rights and powers.

For what reason might the united states government raise taxes instead of borrowing money to pay for a new government service

svet-max [94.6K]

The reason would be that if they borrow money, they also have to give this money back someday while if they just raise taxes, they basically will get the same money by taxing their population and won't have to return anything. It is true, however, that the people will be taxed more and that they will have to pay the price that the nation would otherwise pay.

Under truth-in-sentencing laws what percentage of the sentence must be served by the offender

natita [175]

Truth-in-sentencing laws aim to preserve the time sentence set for criminals at the time of their conviction. Advocates of these policies argue that when an individual is sentenced for 5 to 7 years and ends up getting released after serving 3 or 4, it constitutes deception and a disservice to "the public's right to know".

Since 1994 in the U.S., the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act started giving out additional funding as an incentive to states that ensure criminals convicted of violent crimes serve at least 85% of their sentence. Up until 2008, 35 of the 50 states have kept up these standards.

Hope this helps!

How does financial resource affect the development of a country?

natita [175]

Answer: The accumulation of worldwide reserves and decrease tiers of outside debt permit a few growing nations to shield themselves from the speedy deterioration of capital flows. But the contraction of credit, its excessive fee, and the volatility of portfolio investments have already caused a contraction of monetary flows.
