What did the Supreme Court say in its ruling in Wabash v. Illinois (1886)?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

The Supreme Court ruled in the case of Wabash v. Illinois (1886) that the state of Illinois could not regulate the rates charged by the Wabash Railroad because its freight traffic moved interstate, and only the federal government could regulate interstate commerce.

This was a significant decision because it limited the power of states to regulate businesses that operate across state lines. It also paved the way for the passage of the Interstate Commerce Act in 1887, which created the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) to regulate the railroad industry.

Did everyone in who wanted a job in ancient Rome get one?

Answers

No, not everyone who wanted a job in ancient Rome got one, since many people did not have the freedom to make this choice, especially people like women and slaves. 

Upon the principles of a free government, inconveniences from the source just mentioned mustnecessarily be submitted to in the formation of the legislature; but it is unnecessary, and therefore
unwise, to introduce them into the constitution of the Executive. It is here too that they may be most
pernicious. In the legislature, promptitude of decision is oftener an evil than a benefit. The differences of
opinion, and the jarrings of parties in that department of the government, though they may sometimes
obstruct salutary plans, yet often promote deliberation and circumspection, and serve to check excesses
in the majority. When a resolution too is once taken, the opposition must be at an end. That resolution is
a law, and resistance to it punishable. But no favorable circumstances palliate or atone for the
disadvantages of dissension in the executive department. Here, they are pure and unmixed. There is no
point at which they cease to operate. They serve to embarrass and weaken the execution of the plan or
measure to which they relate, from the first step to the final conclusion of it. They constantly counteract
those qualities in the Executive which are the most necessary ingredients in its composition, vigor and
expedition, and this without any counter balancing good. In the conduct of war, in which the energy of
the Executive is the bulwark of the national security, everything would be to be apprehended from its
plurality.

_______ policy in China allowed economic growth at the fastest sustained rate between 1980 and the early 2000s than any other country. A. Revolving-door
B. Open-door
C. Locked-door
D. Closed-door

Answers

The correct answer is (b.) Open-door. Open-door policy in China allowed economic growth at the fastest sustained rate between 1980 and the early 2000s than any other country. The Open-door policy refers to the foreign affairs toward the United States' policy that has been established.

The continued growth in China is related to its relentless pursuit of economic reform. As a result, it has unleashed productive forces that were previously suppressed by rigid central planning. Deng Xiaoping realized that china needed the influence of western technology and investment. He opened the door to foreign businesses by authorizing four economic zones in southern China with tax incentives to attract foreign businesses. In addition to domestic agricultural reforms, the economy of China took off and has since recorded one of the fastest periods of economic growth in world history.
