History

Since the XIX Century, the labor unions have been in constant evolution, in the beginning, were ignored almost by every single government entity.

This lack of support by the public power allowed to the employers an enormous advantage until recent times, the worker normally was exploited at the maximum way possible ( ridiculous long shifts, no healthcare benefits, etc).

In the XX and XXI Centuries, a lot of changes benefiting the laborers have been improving, however this doesn´t mean that the employers were too happy about it, once the labor unions started to grow and be heard with more attention, the power of the employers started to decrease, due to this, the labor unions gained power in a fast and effective way, gaining a considerable number of changes and benefits aiming to the workers.

The Employers tried to make alliances with the government, offering benefits in exchange, not accepting the multiple changes the laborers were asking, a lot of strikes happened, with pacific and sometimes violent protests were both sides were clearly affected, in order to finalize with all the public disorder, the government, employers and laborers get an agreement, where changes asked by the laborers were made, however a couple of regulations were made in order to guarantee the proper rights to the employers.

So based on this, the response by the employer since weren´t too friendly, they tried to respond and counter the unions, however we can say that the answer arrived late, when the unions were organized and supported by other entities, this way generating an obligated agreement for all the parts involved, in order to guarantee rights to the laborers.

1. According to Addams, how do modern cities compare to feudal cities?
levacccp [35]

Answer:

Addams says that modern cities rely on industrialism, while feudal cities rely on militarism. This is because modern cities do not have to worry about enemy attacks, as feudal cities did.

Explanation:

The enemies of modern cities are internal, while feudal cities had external enemies, according to Addams. The internal enemies that modern cities present are related to the city's management failures and its political composition and can be presented as unemployment, lack of basic sanitation, violence, inadequate transport, insufficient or contaminated water, great proliferation of diseases, among others .

What factors caused rome to plunge into civil wars and how did they weaken the republic
Shkiper50 [21]
Roman society was one that constantly pushed romans to be more and more ambitious, to take more, do more and conquer more. Eventually you start stepping on people's toes who are trying to do the same thing, then you have two powerful people fighting for ultimate power (ceaser v. pompey, sulla v. marius, augustus v. marc anthony, etc.). Then there was the Marian reforms which made soldiers beholdened primarily to their general, not the state, for their rewards (usually land after the campaign was finished), couple that with legions frequently going further and further from Rome in the late republic, most Roman soldiers knew and depended on their general, and barely interacted with the state at all. So these generals gradually gained ferociously loyal armies that were closer to them than Rome in general, so they'd be pretty willing to fight for their general against another general, even when it would weaken the state as a whole. Obviously civil wars cause a huge amount of damage to their nation, both in lives and monetary cost. Plus usually whoever won the civil war would then proceed to kill all prominent citizens who even slightly leaned toward the opposing side. After two or three purges like this, many of the prominent families that made rome into a world power were completely in shambles and the bitter rivalries between them made future wars inevitable.

Out of all the challenges that the United States faced during Jefferson's administration, which one do you feel is the most seri
Anika [276]

Answer: 1807 embargo.

Explanation:

The reason for the embargo is the effort to weaken France and Great Britain during the Napoleonic wars. The reason for the prohibition on European goods is a violation of the neutral states of the United States in the war, by depriving their merchants of their products. President Thomas Jefferson suggested Congress acted as a trade war, not a military retaliation.

The embargo was to stop the looting of American ships by Britain and France. The blockade has at the same time undermined the belief of American citizens that their government can enforce its laws fairly, and reinforces the idea among America's enemies that its republican form of government is unprofitable and inefficient. The embargo was revoked in March 1809. A large number of local merchants were outraged by the law.
