Answer:

the noble experiment

Explanation: It is no mistake that President Herbert Hoover's 1928 description of Prohibition as "a great social and economic experiment, noble in motive and far-reaching in purpose" entered the popular lexicon as "the noble experiment." It was unfortunate for the entire nation that the experiment failed as miserably as it did.

Give an example of a negative externality and a positive externality that is not listed in your book.
charle [14.2K]

Externalities - An externality is such type of outcome which is not directly incureed by the producer but its consequences are incurred by society as a whole. The externalities can be negative as well as positive.

Negative externality- A externality that has a negative and harmful effect on society, as well as firms, are called negative externalities.

  • For eg., A firm polluting the environment to save the cost of production will have negative consequences on society as a whole.

Positive externality - An outcome of the decisions and execution of a company that has led to positive consequences for both company and the society.

  • For eg., the perfect example of positive externalities is the research and development work of any company. The research and development benefits not only the company to enhance its efficiency but it also benefits society by gaining the knowledge from the research, employment from work, etc,

How does the organization of the Senate allow a small minority of the population to have significant power in the legislative pr
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Due to each state having an equal number of senators, states with a small population have the same power in the Senate as states with a larger population

Explanation:

Because each state has 2 senators, states like Wyoming(which has under 600,000 people) have the same power as California(with well over 35 million people). This is actually on purpose, as the writers of the constitution wanted to avoid a situation where Virginia(by far the most populous state at the time of the writing of the constitution) controlled politics in the entire country, especially since the states were much less united in their infancy.

Many people criticize this aspect of the Senate, as it allows a minority of the population to make laws for the majority, but it is still an open question that is actively debated today. The question itself is worded in a way that seems to portray this topic in a negative light, but it's best to maintain an objective tone when answering unless the question asks you to defend a position or your opinion on a topic. I hope this has helped.

The AOC (Articles of Confederation) really limited the power of Congress. They could not...

• Collect Taxes
• Conduct foreign policy
• Could not enforce laws

There were many other problems with the AOC as well. A huge one was that it was practically impossible to amend; all 13 states needed to unanimously agree on a change. Given the rivalry between the States, and the fact that Rhode Island hardly showed up for anything, it would be impossible to fix the AOC.

Congress also could not pay off the national debt. The US owed a whole lot of money after fighting the war. However, due to the fact that Congress couldn’t collect taxes, the government had to print more money which caused massive problems with the economy.

I hope you found this interesting! Good luck!!

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

The Boston Tea Party was a political protest that occurred on December 16, 1773, at Griffin’s Wharf in Boston, Massachusetts. American colonists, frustrated and angry at Britain for imposing “taxation without representation,” dumped 342 chests of tea, imported by the British East India Company into the harbor........................In the eighteenth century, farmers in western Massachusetts were outraged at the taxes levied by a distant and unsympathetic government; they rebelled. The government responded by attempting to suppress the rebellion.

If you thought the government in the description is Great Britain, think again! The rebellion described above did not occur in 1776, nor did it involve Great Britain. The farmers in question—led by the very revolutionaries who had fought against such taxes in the American war for independence—were rebelling against taxes imposed by the state government of Massachusetts...Explanation: i tried hoped i helped
