Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Schlieffen Plan, battle plan first proposed in 1905 by Alfred, Graf (count) von Schlieffen, chief of the German general staff, that was designed to allow Germany to wage a successful two-front war. The plan was heavily modified by Schlieffen’s successor, Helmuth von Moltke, prior to and during its implementation in World War I. Moltke’s changes, which included a reduction in the size of the attacking army, were blamed for Germany’s failure to win a quick victory.

Maybe some of you have been to Atlanta, Georgia. It is a large capital city with the busiest airport in the world. Two interstates, 75 and 85, cut through the heart of the city, revealing an impressive skyline of buildings. Atlanta is home to Coca-Cola and the 1996 Summer Olympics. The city has a rich historical and cultural legacy. Did you know Atlanta was burned down toward the end of the Civil War? Georgia as a whole was devastated by the ''War Between the States.''

During the war, Union General William T. Sherman boasted that he would ''make Georgia howl,'' and he did. He ordered the business district of Atlanta be burned to the ground. It is believed 40% of the city was destroyed. Toward the end of 1864, Sherman became famous for his ''March to the Sea,'' in which he and his men cut a 50-mile-wide path of destruction throughout the state of Georgia. The path stretched from Atlanta to the port city of Savannah. Railroad lines were torn up, and farms and businesses set on fire, as Union troops adopted a scorched earth policy.

Before the Civil War, the capital of Georgia was Milledgeville. Upon readmittance to the Union, the capital was changed to Atlanta. Atlanta was founded in the 1830s as a railroad hub. Despite being burned down by Union forces in 1864, Atlanta was rebuilt and grew during Reconstruction. By 1880 it was Georgia's largest city. With freed people leaving agricultural jobs and moving to the city, Atlanta quickly became a modern industrial city. In the 1880s electric street cars began operating in the city. In 1886 a former Confederate soldier named John Pemberton developed a soft drink called Coca-Cola. The company thrived, bringing jobs and money to Atlanta.

Georgia was among the first Southern states to make use of a convict leasing system. Under this system, convicts were ''leased'' out to private companies in order to provide free labor. Under this system, African-Americans were disproportionately represented. Convicts were often treated poorly and forced to work under horrible conditions. Progressive reformers regarded the convict leasing system as little better than slavery. Through convict leasing, Georgia was able to industrialize quickly. Railroads, iron work plants, mines, and other industrial projects throughout the state often made use of unpaid convict labor. Through the system, businessmen like Joseph E. Brown acquired tremendous wealth.

Considering your previous knowledge of the role of taxation in an economy; describe how the government supports the economy through the use of taxation. Please discuss two specific examples

Answers

oughout history, every organized society had some form of government. In free societies, the goals of government have been to protect individual freedoms and to promote the well-being of society as a whole.

To meet their expenses, government need income, called "revenue," which it raises through taxes. In our country, governments levy several different types of taxes on individuals and businesses. The Federal Government relies mainly on income taxes for its revenue. State governments depend on both income and sales taxes. Most county and city governments use property taxes to raise their revenue.

Government Services
Our American economy is based on the free enterprise system. Consumers are free to decide how to spend or invest their time and money. The goal of producers is to make profits by satisfying consumer demand. Open competition among producers usually results in their providing the best quality of goods or services at the lowest possible prices.

The free enterprise system does not produce all the services needed by society. Some services are more efficiently provided when government agencies plan and administer them. Two good examples are national defense and state or local police protection. Everyone benefits from these services, and the most practical way to pay for them is through taxes, instead of a system of service fees. Other examples are the management of our natural resources, such as our water supply or publicly-owned land, and the construction of hospitals or highways. Taxes are collected to pay for planning these services and to finance construction or maintenance. Revenue is also collected through user fees, such as at the entrances to national parks or at toll booths on highways and bridges.

Society benefits from a safe and healthy environment. In the free enterprise system, however, there is often little incentive for businesses to pay the extra cost for maintaining this kind of environment. Therefore government imposes regulations on producers such as auto manufacturers, who must install air pollution controls. These controls often add costs to the price of new cars. There are also regulations to control such things as the use of billboards and signs along highways. Other regulations control reclaiming land after strip mining, dumping industrial waste into streams and rivers, and noise pollution at airports.

The free enterprise system is based on competition among businesses. With competition, only the most efficient businesses survive. To ensure that a degree of competition exists, the Federal Government enforces strict "antitrust" laws to prevent anyone from gaining monopoly control over a market.

Some services, known as "natural monopolies," are more efficiently provided when there is competition. The best-known examples are the utility companies, which provide water, natural gas, and electricity for home and business use. Since there is no competition, government agencies carefully regulate the services, prices, and profits of the utility companies.

The free enterprise system assumes that consumers are knowledgeable about the quality or safety of what they buy. However, in our modern society, it is often impossible for consumers to make informed choices. For public protection, government agencies at the Federal, State, and local levels issue and enforce regulations. There are regulations to cover the quality and safety of such things as home construction, cars, and electrical appliances. There are also regulations for financial services provided by banks, insurance companies, and stock brokers. Another important form of consumer protection is the use of licenses to prevent unqualified people from working in certain fields, such as medicine or the building trades.

Our children receive their education mainly at public expense. City and county governments have the primary responsibility for elementary and secondary education. Most states support colleges and universities. The Federal Government supports education through grants to states for elementary, secondary, and vocational education. Federal grants used for conducting research are an important source of money for colleges and universities.

Since the 1930s, the Federal Government has been providing income or services, often called a "safety net," for those in need. Major programs include health services for the elderly and financial aid for the disabled and unemployed. Other major programs include financial aid to families with dependent children, and social services for low income individuals and families.

Taxes in the United States
Governments pay for these services through revenue obtained by taxing three economic bases: income, consumption and wealth. The Federal Government taxes income as its main source of revenue. State governments use taxes on income and consumption, while local governments rely almost entirely on taxing property and wealth.

Some Northerners responded to the Fugitive Slave Act with acts of civil disobedience. Do you think they should have been punished for breaking the law? Explain your response.

Answers

Answer: They should not have been punished

Explanation:

Founding Father Thomas Jefferson once said that "If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so." Any laws that allowed slavery including the Fugitive Slave Act was an unjust law and for people to have sat back and let it happen would have only served to embolden those who practiced it.

People were right to disobey that law and they should not have been punished for doing so. If they had not done so, the South would have continued the heinous practice of slavery and the North would have been complicit in it.

The very soul of the country was on the line and in disobeying such laws as the Fugitive Slave Act, those who did so were more patriotic than those who did not because they saw that their country would not go forward with the current practices in effect and acted to save the nation. You should not be punished for such.
