National debt quadrupled during the war.
Wage freezes reduced consumer spending.
Efficiencies in farming reduced manual labor needs.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Neither A. or B. Can be correct because during the period between 1937 and 1945 The United States Gross National Product increased in record numbers along with corporate profits due government intervention in them market place and aiding large defense companies by paying for the opening of new plants and in turn handing them over to the private sector to be run and handled thus cutting down on the amount of money companies had to pay and increasing their profits as the need for Military goods was dire during this time period. And the National Debt also increased by a substantial amount due to the borrowing of money to fund our massive push within our industrial sector. And D. Had no major impact at the time because so many people were needed in large cities to work in the newly built plants that many unemployed citizens and workers migrated to cities to work in these factories thus lowing the amount of workers in rural farm areas. Therefore C. Would be your best answer because during and at the end of the war, Consumer spending as at a all time high.
Answer 2
Answer: C.  Wage freezes reduced consumer spending ... .. that did NOT happen.
In April, 1943, President Roosevelt put a freeze on wages and prices ... and consumer spending increased.  Spending went down in some areas of the economy, in connection with the war effort.  For instance, the percentage of consumer income spent on automobiles, as well as gas, repairs, insurance, and fees for automobiles, went down by nearly 60 percent between 1941 and 1944.  But overall consumer spending increased.  Overall household consumer spending in 1941 was $2,060. In 1944, overall household consumer spending was $2,406.  


As to answer A):The gross national product (GNP) and corporate profits did double during wartime.  There is something to be aware of with that, however.  The big increases in spending were all war-related, and much work would be needed after the war to keep the economy going forward on a peacetime footing.  David Weinberger, writing in The Daily Signal (January 26, 2012), explained:   "Underneath the national numbers that seem so robust between 1941 and 1945 stood an emaciated, barely conscious private economy stripped of resources and hope. This economy, a child of the Great Depression, bore little resemblance to its muscular cousin who fought on two war fronts."

As to answer B)  The US federal debt indeed did quadruple during World War II.  In 1941, prior to the United States' entry into the war, the national debt stood at $58 billion.  By the war's end in 1945, the national debt was $260 billion.

As to answer D):  L.D. Baver, the Associate Director of the North Carolina  Agricultural Experiment Station from 1941 to 1947, explained the emphasis being given through agricultural extension programs:  "The job of farming in war time, like the job of war itself, consists in making the most effective use of all available means -- labor, machinery, fertilizer, facts"  (Research and Farming, N.C. Agricultural Experiment Station annual report, 1942).

How did the framers use compromise to ensure that the constitution would reflect different points of view

Answers

The framers made a bicameral legislature.
They made a bicameral legislature (the house and the senate). In doing this, bigger states with more population got higher representation in the House of Representatives (the amount of delegates are by population), and the smaller states received equal representation in the Senate (every state gets 2 delegates). So in the end, everyone got their own form of representation.

The period of intermittent fighting between England and France that started in 1337 and ended in 1453 is known as _____.the Reformation
the Middle Ages
the Hundred Years' War
the Black Death

Answers

The period of intermittent fighting between England and France that started in 1337 and ended in 1453 is known as THE HUNDRED YEARS WAR.

The Hundred Years War was a conflict between the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of France which lasted, with several interruptions, one hundred and sixteen years, from 1337 to 1453. It ended with the expulsion of the British from all the continental territories with the exception for the town of Calais, conquered by the French only in 1558. In the process of formation of the French unitary state, already under the first Capetian kings, it represented a long pause, but at its conclusion France had substantially reached the modern geopolitical order.

The extraordinary importance of the Hundred Years War, as regards the history of Europe as a whole, is highlighted by the fact that its end (1453, the year that saw the fall of Constantinople) is one of the dates conventionally posed by historiography modernization at the end of the European Middle Ages.


The period of intermittent fighting between England and France that started in 1337 and ended in 1453 is known as "the Hundred Years' War," although the exact start and end dates vary slightly.

This period of European history derives from the policy of the Frankish kings, Pippin the Brief and Charlemagne, which was an attempt to recover classical culture in the political, cultural and religious spheres of medieval times. The coronation of Charlemagne as emperor in Rome was an important and important fact as a symbol of the de facto restoration of the Western Roman Empire, which actually served to legitimize the power of the Germanic ethnic group that had invaded the territory that formerly belonged to the Romans. After its partition by the Treaty of Verdun in 843, it would be replaced a century later by the Kingdom of France in its western part, and by the Holy Germanic Roman Empire in the east.

A newspaper editor who wrote a column stating it was immoral for the United States to be involved in a war could be convicted of violating which of the following? Sedition Act
Espionage Act
Schenck decision

Answers

At one point, a newspaper editor who wrote a column stating it was immoral for the United States to be involved in a war could be convicted of violating the "Sedition Act," since this was part of the "Alien and Sedition Act"--although such action today would be highly unlikely.
