The answer is: E. It became a military superpower in the world but lacked a strong economy.
During the 20th century, United states more than 20% of its GDP to be allocated into millitary spending, which make us able to become a millitary superpower and contribute greatly to the victories during the world war I.
There is a downside to this. Large allocation to millitary budget means that there would be less that can be allocated to build things such as infrastructures, loans, government sponsored jobs, etc. Which is why the economy of united states at that era was a little bit lacking.
This is in my opinion one of the aspects that makes the central courts and the different lines of thought within a single subject so interesting. The clash of ideas that we have in this case is a perfect example.
On one side we have those who look at the current 30 million uninsured Americans, which include millions in Texas, and the undeniable success it had in Massachusetts. Most of them conclude that this mandate is a government success.
On the other hand, we can find those who believe that this is a terrible invasion of the government to the citizen's free will to choose their own healthcare options, they see government overreach, and at the same time an unprecedented intrusion on individual liberties to which there is no justification.
Unfortunately this is something that millions of Americans have been forced into. It's evident how they refused to create a public health care system, and instead give more power to the private sector.
After this short debate of ideas, I will give you one question to ponder on: Which principle is more important? Your freedom, your civil liberties, and your freedom from the government line of thought, or the possibilty of providing health care to millions of uninsured Americans?
I hope this solves your question!
Answer:
The correct answer is <u>B</u>: to strengthen the economy of each region while ensuring that the federal government would remain strong.
Explanation:
The American System was an economic plan based on the financial ideas of Alexander Hamilton, supported by Henry Clay.
The plan had three mutually reinforced parts, based on a new national bank, taxing foreign goods and creating a subsidized infrastructure of new roads and canals. Therefore, this system tried to strengthen the American economy by protecting manufacturing with a protective tariff, the Second Bank of the United States provided a strong currency and by giving a bigger role to the federal government (e.g. with federally funded internal improvements as roads and canals).
