Answer:

Five-Year Plan, Soviet economic practice of planning to augment agricultural and industrial output by designated quotas for a limited period of usually five years. Nations other than the former USSR and the Soviet bloc members, especially developing countries, have adopted such plans for four, five, or more years. Joseph Stalin, in 1928, launched the first Five-Year Plan; it was designed to industrialize the USSR in the shortest possible time and, in the process, to expedite the collectivization of farms. The plan, put into action ruthlessly, aimed at making the USSR self-sufficient and emphasized heavy industry at the expense of consumer goods. It covered the period from 1928 to 1933, but was officially considered completed in 1932. The second Five-Year Plan (1933–37) continued and expanded the first. The third plan (1938–42) was interrupted by World War II. The fourth covered the years 1946–50, the fifth 1951–55. The sixth plan (1956–60) was discarded in 1957, primarily because it overcommitted available resources and could not be fulfilled. It was replaced by a Seven-Year Plan (1959–65), which fell far short of estimated increases in agricultural (especially wheat) production. The Seven-Year Plan was considered the start of a longer period (20 years) devoted to the establishment of the material and technical basis of a Communist society. The late 1960s and early 1970s saw increased emphasis placed on consumer goods, and the 9th Five-Year Plan (1971–75) for the first time gave priority to light industry rather than heavy industry. The agricultural sector still grew far less than projected in the 10th (1976–80) and 11th (1981–85) Five-Year Plans, and overall economic performance was poor. The 12th and final Five-Year Plan (1986–90) projected increases in consumer goods and energy savings, but the economy began to slide, shrinking by 4% in 1990. The dissolution of the Soviet Union made the formation of a 13th Five-Year Plan a moot point.

kirza4 [7]

Import Tariff increases the price of certain foreign-made goods.

<u>Explanation: </u>

An Import Tariff is an economic term that is referred to as tax and is collected by the government on imported services and goods from foreign countries. In simple terms, it can be said that tariffs are the taxes paid for every import. It is paid by registered firms in the US to customs for goods that they import into the country.

Tariffs decrease the trade deficit and pressure from the foreign exporters. And that is why importers often transfer the costs of tariffs on to customers consumers and manufacturers in the US by increasing their prices. The current trade-weighted average import tariff rate is 2 \% in the US on industrial goods.

What statement was implied by the decision in Brown v. Board of Education?
Mrrafil [7]

Answer: Separate but equal educational facilities for racial minorities is inherently unequal, violating the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.

Explanation: In 1896, the supreme court ruled on the landmark case "Plessy v. Ferguson. This case arose when Louisiana enacted the Separate Car Act, which required separate railway cars for blacks and whites. Through this case, the supreme court decided that segregation did not in itself constitute unlawful discrimination.

The basis for this ruling was the "separate but equal principle," which asserts that racial segregation is constitutional as long as the separate facilities provided for blacks and whites are roughly equal.

In 1953 however, the Brown v. Board of Education case reached the supreme court as multiple cases regarding segregation of public schools converged. To promote civil rights through the U.S. judiciary, Supreme court Chief justice Earl Warren campaigned and achieved a unanimous ruling within the senate. In 1954, the Supreme Court held that “separate but equal” facilities are inherently unequal and violate the protections of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The Court reasoned that the segregation of public education based on race instilled a sense of inferiority that had a hugely detrimental effect on the education and personal growth of African American children. Warren based much of his opinion on information from social science studies rather than court precedent.
