History

In capitalist countries (and those transitioning to capitalism), overt or direct government control of the economy is avoided. Instead, the government seeks to provide the infrastructure and security/stability needed in order for business interests to flourish and the economy to grow.

Direct government control of the economy was the pattern of "mercantilism," which was dominant prior to the rise of capitalism.  According to Adam Smith, one of the founding theorists of capitalism, mercantilism was bad because the government tried to regulate and control commerce too much. Smith, along with French economic theorists known "physiocrats" (wanting to let "nature rule"), advocated a "laissez-faire" approach to commerce and industry, letting businesses run themselves in competition in a free market.

However, for that free market to flourish, governments will do their part by providing infrastructure -- roads, ports, etc.  Governments also will ensure the stability and security needed for businesses to operate safely and consistently.  So governments will enact laws affirming rights and fairness in business contracts and enforce those laws, and also provide national security within their lands so that economic growth can flourish due to peaceful circumstances.  (Warfare causes great disruption to economies.)

What was the effect of manifest destiny on the American Indian population?
omeli [17]

The correct answers are 2) almost all American Indians died of disease and starvation and 3) many American Indians were killed and forced to move to reservations.

<em>The effect of the Manifested destiny on the American Indian population was that almost all American Indians died of disease and starvation and many American Indians were killed and forced to move to reservations.</em>

Some years after the end of the Revolutionary War, the government of the United States passed some pieces of legislation to determine how to deal with native American Indians. These were the Northwest Ordinance of 1787, the Indian Trade and Intercourse of 1790, and the Commerce Clause of the US Constitution. By 1840, thousands of Indians had been removed from their territories. The White people knew that those territories meant money and profits in their hands. Among the tribes affected were the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, and Creek. So yes, The effect of the Manifested destiny on the American Indian population was that almost all American Indians died of disease and starvation and many American Indians were killed and forced to move to reservations.
