There are many theories to power, be they liberal, socialist or otherwise. Many have been developed over centuries of thought, which pick apart the very nature of our society and world order. But of all the theories that I’ve come across, one sticks out more than any other, and it is the reason I hold such strong free-market/anti-state views. It’s called Public Choice theory, but don’t ask me why, because it seems to explain why any one but ’the public’ makes choices today.
Public Choice theory is modern, having only really taken off during the 1960’s, but I believe it grants a very realistic and worrying view of Britain’s power structure, and exposes many very deep scars which socialism and Keynesianism unintentionally inflicted on our country. It was heavily developed by the US economist James Buchanan, who won the 1986 Nobel Memorial Prize for his work, and who advised Margaret Thatcher through the Institute for Economic Affairs during the late 1970′s.
Just like capitalism, Public Choice theory is based on two simple assumptions about human nature. Firstly, that humans are principally self-interested. That’s not to say we’re selfish, which is somewhat more immoral, but rather that we will always aim to fulfil our wants and desires, economic or otherwise. Secondly, that humans are rational; when presented with a series of options, we will select whichever makes us the most happy for the least cost. Rational Choice theory, as it is called, has come under substantial intellectual attack in the past, and I don’t personally believe that all humans act completely rationally all the time, but as a model for human behaviour, I’d say it provides a pretty good analysis.
1) Population curb: After the Europeans became extremely strong, they forced Indians off their homeland and placed them in reservations and such.
2)Disease: Disease brought by Europeans (i.e. measels, chicken pox, etc)
These impacted the American Indians more than weapons and technology of the days
3) Technology: Technology would be the next. As many Indians gathered and hunt (yes some did farm, not a lot, and with primitive tools), there tool weren't as enhanced as the Europeans (for example, they use wooden plows against the European iron plows. Or they still use wooden spears with hardened points or bows made of wood and arrows with stone points. On the other hand, the Europeans used muskets (IDR if they invented rapid-fire yet or not) body armor (knight's armor type, kinda like conquistadors) and cannons, etc. Technology helped Europeans both gain allies and defeat their enemies relatively easy.
4) Allies and Enemies: As Europeans allied themselves with certain tribes, the other tribes would feel unsafe and the sort, and would make war. This led too numerous wars, and the fall of many Indian tribes (and European powers. Take for example, the French and Indian war).
5) Crops: Europeans introduced many different crops that were later part of Indian food life and the sort. These include wheat, barley, rice, turnips, etc. Some of these crops impacted Indian life, and became one of the many foods they eat.

The major advantage is that the states have their own right to choose which laws will apply to them and in what way, based on their own interpretation of the laws.
The American Federation of Labor was national federation of labor unions in the U.S. They emerged from a dispute with the Knights of Labor organization. They organized workers in craft unions.
