APUSH 1979 DBQ From 1865 to 1900, the federal government was defiantly contradictory on their laissez faire economic principles. Although the idea was to keep the government out of economic affairs, the nation violated this by supplying land grant to railroads, taking control of interstate commerce, and the involvement of the antitrust activity. By providing land grants for railroads to build on, the government began going against their own policy, which was heavily supported by the people. Document D demonstrates the total United States land grants to railroads. There was a total of 131.5 million acres supplied by the federal government in the form of land grants.

It shrunk the disappearance of national land being the source of national individualism and democracy. As well as sparking conservationism, Roosevelt cared for the protection of consumers. In 1906 he backed a measure that aided corporations and consumers. Upton Sinclair’s novel, The Jungle, stirred Americans perception of the meat industry. It disturbed all citizens, as well as Roosevelt.
The Townshend Acts In 1767 Charles Townshend who was the chancellor of the exchequer, created the Townshend Acts . The Townshend Acts were approved by British Parliament on June 26-June 2, 1767 and were repealed April 12, 1770. Charles Townshend proposed the program in order to raise 40,000 pounds a year so that the English parliament could cut the british land tax and this would also raise money to pay for the salaries of governors and judges. Some of the things that the Act taxed were paper, oil, lead, glass, and tea that went into American ports. Townshend knew that his program would be controversial in the colonies, but he argued that, "The superiority of the mother country can at no time be better exerted than now."
These two projects became the key issues of the elections. The main difference between them was that in Roosevelt’s the government should control the bad trust, leaving the good one alone and free to operate while Wilson’s objective was to break up all trust and basically shun social-welfare proposals. Wilson won manly because the Republican party devided, because of this he’s also called a Minority President. During his ministry he tackled the “triple wall of privilege”: the tariff, the banks and the trusts. This benefited the American public.
He failed to foresee the anger that both the Chinese labour issue and his refusal to reverse Taff Vale would cause amongst British working men. Balfour misunderstood working men’s reaction to the tariff reform campaign and he allowed Joseph Chamberlain to make the reform a key Unionist policy from 1903 onwards. In 1902 Balfour created the Education Act. This act roused the fury of the nonconformists in Britain and led to many of them reverting to the Liberal Party. Schools were to be funded from local rates, including religious schools.
All the variation in public assistance could lead to migrations of welfare recipients to places where benefits are more generous. And some worry that the result could be a "race to the bottom" as local governments reduce benefits in an attempt to avoid attracting more poor people – or even drive them out entirely. The Politics Politically, welfare reform is perhaps the most conspicuous example of how President Clinton adopted – some say co-opted – parts of the Republican agenda. Historically, Democrats had defended the old welfare system against GOP attacks. Clinton defined himself as a centrist Democrat in his 1992 campaign in part by promising to "end welfare as we know it."
Tory party supporters were aristocrats who felt Lord Liverpool the Prime Minister had a duty to protect them, their interests and to save them from the radical threat. In 1815 Lord Liverpool introduced a law called ‘The Corn Law’ however it is hard to justify in the first place why Lord Liverpool introduced this law as he was a strong believer in laissez-faire – minimum government intervention in economic matters. Nevertheless he still introduced this law. The basic outline of The Corn Law was that it guaranteed protection for wheat prices for the agricultural or landowning interest from foreign imports of grain. To the government the whole reason of the law was to guarantee land owners profits of which they had became accustomed to during the war.
Both theories are peculiar, if not simply unruly. The court has also employed theories not normal but, rather, as constitutional cover for dominance of the electoral system by corporations and by the wealthy. The first theory appeared in a 1976 decision by: Buckley v. Valeo, which abolished some campaign-finance reforms that came out of Watergate. The Court decided that most boundaries on campaign values, and some limits on donations, are illegitimate because “money is itself ” and the "quantity of expression"speeches. The amounts of money can't be limited, but in consecutive cases The conservative justices who had emphatically
His efforts to improve U.S. status and influence won him the hatred of many anti-imperialist groups. (81) In 1904, when the Dominican Republic was deeply in debt to European bond holders Roosevelt created a new U.S. policy (88). The policy stated the United States could intervene in conflicts between European countries and Latin American countries to enforce legitimate claims of the European powers, rather than having the Europeans press their claims directly (88). The President claimed that the United States had direct interest and the obligation to impose order in the affairs of Latin American countries.
