    rise of industry & monoplies

    1. What were the three main causes of industrial growth in America?
         1. there was no interference made by the government
         2. abundant resources were available
         3. Urban population

    2. Trust an monopolies during America early industrial age created tycoons who were making money from their ground up industries. tycoons became afraid of having competition so they started making monopolies. Monopolies are when you buy other companies so there is no competition. Monopolies were capable in that time due to lack of the government getting involved. Even though the senate made the Sherman anti-trust act it was weak. the tycoons would send out there accomplishes to the House of senate to bribe candidates.With these tycoon were able to maniuplated laws and be free to do what they wish.

    post election analysis

    My partner is Kenny
    Cite examples of "Supreme Law of the Land"
    "The feds will iinterfere with marijuana legalization in any state"
    Cite examples of "federal vs. state authority"
    "Marijuana is still illegal in the eyes of the federal government, which overrules states' rights."
    What was the "compromise" that helped to pass the referendum in Washington?
    "The Washington initiative calls for a25% tax rate imposed on the product three times"
    How do you think this compromise would affect demand for the product?
    This makes people go to illegal delaer because the regular cost is to high.

    Why was Oregon's referendum not passed?
    "it would have handed most of the regulating power in the marijuana industry to the growers rather than independent overseers."

    Dairy entry #7

    Dec. 4, 1819
                     
                        I find life ironic. My whole life i been searching for a place where everyone is looked at the same. But i never got to find that place in my time. Out of my 342 years i think i still dont know anything.
    Well hopefully in 200 years our minds arent still stuk on color of skin. the land of the U.S. will expand and everyone will see eye to eye.
                        But i cant really say much cause i say everyone eye to eye. i think thats why my wife caught me in bed with another race. She shoot me in my back with a musket and slit the mercedes thoart.

    Well this is farwell,

    Diary entry #6

    April 28, 1819

                      Today me an one of my good friends Micah went to the bar  to hang out. an officer pulled us over and tried to search the carriage. But knowing my rights I told him no cause it against my rights.And i used my freedom of speech to tell him how I felt about this. These weren't the only right we were promised we had freedom of press an religion. And were promised  a right to get judged by a jury.James Madison an the rest of the anti-Federalist made this possible..

                        But lets get to the good part of my day. When we got to the bar we heard a few arguing over the original 13 states. i knew all of them so i stop there bickering by telling them all. i said " the original thirteen states were Georgia, Maryland, Delaware  Rhode Island, Virginia  New York  Connecticut, Pennsylvania  New jersey, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and South an North Carolina.


                         I also told them the seven new states that were added on since the original thirteen states. which are Illinois, Kentucky, Mississippi, Alabama, and Ohio.

    Diary entry #5

     

    November 12, 1794
                         

                       Today is me an my girlfriend 12 year anniversary. So i took my girlfriend out on a dinner date. I proposed to her but we both came to the conclusion that we couldn't. Our society would look at the marriage as taboo, and they would propably hang me. And the courts would claim it was an accident since im not cacusain.

                      There use too be no courts until they elected Geogre washington as  president. he gave fedral courts authority to make decsion an serve justice.  Ha last i remember i havent justice so far.but dont get me startedon the economy plan.

                      

    So hamilton made a national bank which send out our paper money.And told americia that  debts will be paid. but somehow we stayed in debt.
