Answer:

By attempting to enforce strict laws...

Explanation:

One such law was forbidding the exporting of inventions and machines to outside sources - such as other countries. This, however, didn't work as there were cases of people smuggling them out in rowboats. Whilst other outsiders would memorize or take note of how a machine is made, then return home with such information to use for themselves.

Another law, also denied engineers, mechanics, and toolmakers the ability to leave the country to avoid the spread of information. Britain was desperate to keep their head start in the Industrial Revolution, although, their attempts were obviously ineffective.

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

In a legal term, Dissent is defined as an opinion in at the end of a legal case written by one or more justices to express their disagreement against the viewpoint of the majority during the rulings of a court judgment.

Consequently, the purpose of dissent is to endeavors to solicit for relatively acceptable court decision. The power of dissent, however, lies in its capacity to impact the forthcoming but similar lawsuits.

Hence, the power of dissent is the ability to influence the public belief, give rise to civil societies and movement, and perhaps reverse or improve the outcome of a court judgment and legislation in the future years.

A vivid example is the case of Louis Brandeis’s 1928 dissent in Olmstead v. United States.
