It was aimed to help the middle class and it involved attacking plutocracy and bad trusts, while at the same time protecting business from the extreme demands of organized labor. In order to achieve this aim, Roosevelt introduced various domestic policies. One of the main domestic policies introduced by Theodore Roosevelt was the 1903 Elkins Act which made secret rebates on railroads illegal with both the recipient and grantor of the rebate being prosecuted; agents on railroad companies were liable for any change in public rates. Moreover,
Walker stated that by boycotting British-taxed tea, people intended to force Parliament to repeal the last remaining tax of the Revenue Act. As for strategies used by Samuel Adam’s, as one of the main participants of the present historical event, he knew that the role of colonies for Britain was high, as this was a source of income for the country. So, first of all he controlled that the ship was unloaded, and then they decided to be dressed like Indians in order not to be noticed and further on punished by the government. Building a foundation for critical and creative thinking when evaluating historical events is very important, as it is necessary not only to know the main participants and procedure of the event, but also the moral judgments of the historical event. The basis of the moral judgments made by Samuel Adams and Thomas Hutchinson is presupposed by the fact that they acted with other Patriots for greater good, as British Parliament did not have to raise taxes and result in such struggle between Britain and American colony.
Economics was a big cause of this because western industrialists had wanted new markets for their manufactured goods; these people also had some type of competition going on with other countries. To produce these goods, they needed new raw materials, and thought that other countries that did not belong to them might have good resources for the materials they needed. Also, along with seeking for new supplies, they wanted cheap labor. Another example of these motivations was a desire for new markets. Africa, for instance, had gold, copper, ivory, and lumber.
Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr broke the law and changed the world for the better. Rules are made for us to follow and at times to be broken; breaking the law can be justified considering the situations and purposes. Martin Luther King Jr had African Americans protesting against the law to get their civil rights; they were peaceful protest, but it was still considered breaking the law. In the 1970s, thousands of people broke the law to protest U.S. War in Vietnam, taking up government property, refusing to pay taxes that would support the war, and trespassing on private property of companies that made weapons for the military. "The only way to get a law to change is to break that law and to show how ridiculous that law
He pointed out that special interests were using their power to manipulate politics into misrepresenting the common will. He stressed the importance of getting rid of politics of this manipulation through measures such as prohibiting political contributions and corporations and implementation of the Australian ballot. Roosevelt also pointed out that the power of Big Business could be and was being misused to exploit the Little Man and stifle his advancement through society. He suggested that corporations and the people who run them be responsible for maintaining fully legal behavior and disclosing economic status to the public in order to prevent corruption. He also stressed that governments should
Despite what the ACLU thinks that obtaining personal records is unconstitutional, it allows the government to get hold of certain records, if needed, to aid in an investigation. Investigators may need to examine business records in order to solve certain crimes. The ACLU says that this violates the First and Fourth Amendment by infringing upon freedom of speech and conducting searches without a warrant. However, in matters concerning national security, the government should be able conducted these searches despite the fact that it violates the First Amendment. Since law enforcement is able to obtain business records, it would only make sense for federal agents to access records in national security cases from federal courts.
They did this by establishing Anti-Trust laws. These laws allowed smaller companies to prosper because it prevented larger businesses from trying to either buy them out, or try to close them down by lowering their prices. This shows democratization because everyone is allowed the opportunity to start a business and is not being bullied by a higher power. Document B also shows the stand on monopoly. Woodrow Wilson was highly against Trusts and worked very hard to eliminate the Trusts.
Governments protect consumers from business. The federal government, for example, uses antitrust laws to control or break up monopolistic business combinations that become powerful enough to escape competition. Governments redress consumers' grievances about business fraud and enforce recalls of dangerous products. Governments regulate private companies' activities to protect public health and safety or maintain a healthy environment. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration bans harmful drugs, for example, and the Occupational
The Anti-federalist feared there would be no limitations to what the national government could do with the nation’s commerce. They feared the government wouldn’t regulate trade well and do a poor job dealing with foreign countries. The Anti-Federalist thought that a strong bond between states was necessary to prevent civil war and this could not be prevented if the national government was in charge of important things such as the countries commerce. The second issue the Anti-Federalists were worried about was the lack of a bill of rights
What I would have done differently in the case of Martin Luther King Jr. consists of having adequate security in place to avoid being murdered in cold blood. Organizing a sound security team that could access the level of danger for each rally or protest to ensure my safety as well as others. In the case of Bill Gates, I would have kept the company solid and worked more with other companies to avoid the monopoly trial that federal government accused him of having a monopoly. This trial hurt his creditability and the company had to work very hard to regain that confidence back. Conclusion In conclusion, great thinkers like Bill Gates and Martin Luther King Jr. have revolutionized the way the world thinks and with great thinkers, the sky is the limit with what can be accomplished in the future that will make things better for generations to come.
