History

Zinaida [17]3 years ago

Tobacco was colonial Virginia's most successful cash crop. The tobacco that the first English settlers encountered in Virginia—the Virginia Indians' Nicotiana rustica—tasted dark and bitter to the English palate; it was John Rolfe who in 1612 obtained Spanish seeds, or Nicotiana tabacum, from the Orinoco River valley—seeds that, when planted in the relatively rich bottomland of the James River, produced a milder, yet still dark leaf that soon became the European standard. Over the next 160 years, tobacco production spread from the Tidewater area to the Blue Ridge Mountains, especially dominating the agriculture of the Chesapeake region. Beginning in 1619 the General Assembly put in place requirements for the inspection of tobacco and mandated the creation of port towns and warehouses. This system assisted in the development of major settlements at Norfolk, Alexandria, and Richmond. Tobacco formed the basis of the colony's economy: it was used to purchase the indentured servants and slaves to cultivate it, to pay local taxes and tithes, and to buy manufactured goods from England. Promissory notes payable in tobacco were even used as currency, with the cost of almost every commodity, from servants to wives, given in pounds of tobacco. Large planters usually shipped their tobacco directly to England, where consignment agents sold it in exchange for a cut of the profits, while smaller planters worked with local agents who bought their tobacco and supplied them with manufactured goods. In the mid-seventeenth century, overproduction and shipping disruptions related to a series of British wars caused the price of tobacco to fluctuate wildly. Prices stabilized again in the 1740s and 1750s, but the financial standings of small and large planters alike deteriorated throughout the 1760s and into the 1770s. By the advent of the American Revolution (1775–1783), some planters had switched to growing food crops, particularly wheat; many more began to farm these crops to support the war effort. In the first year of fighting, tobacco production in Virginia dropped to less than 25 percent of its annual prewar output.

Explanation:

Federal Budget can be defined as a major plan for federal governments to predict future revenue and spending for a period of time which is usually a year.

These are the steps involved in creating the federal budget

STEP 1

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) prepares a budget proposal.

Office of Management and Budget is part of the management office of the President that makes the president budget based on the spending proposals received from federal agencies. Office of Management and Budget also reviews the effectiveness of agency services, policies and procedures to see if they fulfill with the priorities of the President and manage inter-agency policy initiatives.

STEP 2

The president submits a budget proposal to Congress.

After the office of the management has prepared the budget, the president will then submit the Budget to congress for review.  The Budget Committees of the House and the Senate hold hearings on the matter of the annual budget which gives the Congress an opportunity to layout it’s spending, revenue, borrowing and economic goals -- as well as providing the vehicle for imposing internal budget discipline through established enforcement mechanisms before deciding on the overall level of spending and taxation.  

STEP 3

Congress decides on the overall level of spending and taxation and passes specific spending bills.

After series of meeting among the congress, the congress will then decides on the overall level of spending and taxation and passes specific spending bills.  

STEP 4

The president signs the spending bills into law.

The Congress will present the spending bills to the President for his signature or veto, as proscribed by the Constitution. The President has ten days in which to decide: to sign the bill or to veto the bill, thereby sending it back to Congress and requiring much of the process to begin again with respect the programs covered by that bill.
