An example as such would be price fixing.Many stores such as amazon as shown here are restricted and are prevented from forming monopolies due to this law being passed.Through many companies find ways around such laws to do as such.This was furthered by the passing of the Clayton Antitrust Act telling and controlling to some extent what businesses could and couldn't do.These laws impact me as a consumer with prices being high in environments with lots of monopolies.This competition drives prices down and such these laws were monumental in the mists of the second industrial revolution.

National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act Highway Safety Act is an act that requires automobile manufacturers to institute safety standards to protect the public from unreasonable risk of accidents occurring as a result of the design, construction, or operation of automobiles.This is not only to protect me as a future driver but everyone on the roads as well.This law went into effect to regulate automobile companies and what they could safely do.

The President may make such loans with lower interest rates and charge fees.Before making such a loan congress must check that the receiving country is making demonstrable progress toward meeting its NATO defense-spending obligation. Of course while respecting the country's constitution and decisions.This affects everyday civilians like you and me by allowing us to help achieve better relations with foreign powers.]]> 2022-04-28 03:41:59 UTC https://padlet.com/25millerl5/r9e2vqb14d7qq6xg/wish/2161492365 Closing statement 25millerl5 https://padlet.com/25millerl5/r9e2vqb14d7qq6xg/wish/2161499350 Overall all these acts affected american politics from then to now.The anti monopoly laws from the progressive era to the change going off the gold standard, as well as car safety and Nato are all important to this day.These laws effect us everyday whether we know it or not.With us being consumer anti monopoly laws, we rarely think about yet they help keep prices down in stores.We rarely think about what makes our money valuable or the simple seatbelts we ware in cars. This and to very recently the united states intervening and changing its stance on foreign policy.Thus is how that all these laws affect us everyday and how influential they are to this day.]]> 2022-04-28 03:49:39 UTC https://padlet.com/25millerl5/r9e2vqb14d7qq6xg/wish/2161499350
