    Wickard Vs Filburn Case Study

    The Agricultural Adjustment Act passed by Congress in 1938 allowed the secretary of agriculture to establish production limits on grains to stop wild swings in grain prices by eliminating surpluses and shortfalls. In 1940 the secretary of agriculture set the production limits for 1941. Roscoe Filburn, an Ohio farmer, planted not only his allotted amount but some other to produce wheat for home consumption. Roscoe was fined $117.11 for the excess planting. Roscoe refused to pay the fine, claiming that Congress exceeded its powers under the Commerce Clause by regulating the planting by an individual of wheat on his own property for on-farm consumption. The lower courts ruled in favor of Filburn and Secretary Wickard appealed. Wickard argued that the quota on planting is a valid exercise of Congress’ commerce regulatory power and the quota system allows for efficient enforcement of the…

    US HISTORY FINAL

    1. During the 1920’s, the south was filled with hatred and racism towards black people. Southern states were segregated and had many Jim Crow laws in place that led to inferior treatment of black people. Lynching took place on a frequent basis. Blacks wanted a chance at peace and prosperity and thought they could find it in the North where factories where looking for employment. After the civil war, many freed blacks remained on plantations as sharecroppers. With no money they were unable to leave the Jim Crow South. After WW1, industry, especially the auto-industry of Detroit, in the North started to boom during the 1920’s. This attracted all the freedmen to migrate in search of jobs. This was a time they finally had an opportunity to make a new life for themselves. Henry Ford’s new plant was said to be large enough to employ all of Nashville. Factories were sprouting all over requiring workers who were willing to work for cheap wages. This was the best time for black people to leave the South and make a living for themselves away from any prejudice and…

    1.) American society wasn’t that democratic during the colonial days. Although it was much more democratic than England, it still wasn’t quite there yet. The constitution wasn’t signed and agreed upon until 1787, and before the turn of the 18th century, the colonies were a big mess. Most cities had an oligarchy, meaning a religious leader was in charge, making everyone abide by their rules, although it was often less religious and more on the tyrannical side. There wasn’t much separation of church and state. The only people who could vote were members of the church in most colonies, although some colonies allowed white men who owned property to have the right of franchise. People were hung, flogged, and exiled. Indentured servants had it bad,…

    Dust Bowl: Policy Analysis

    Since the Dust Bowl the US has put policies in place to help farmers and other crop producers. A policy that has been put into place is the 2014 Farm Bill. The 2014 farm Bill was enacted on February 7, 2014. This Bill is being helped to be put into full effect by NRCS or Natural Resources Conservation Services. They help by offering financial assistance and easement programs and partnership. The financial assistance and technical assistance is offered “to help agricultural producers make and maintain conservation improvements on their land.” The easement programs are offered to “eligible landowners to conserve working agricultural lands, wetlands, grasslands and forest lands.” The partnership aspect is that “NRCS works with partners to leverage additional conservation assistance for agricultural producers and landowners in priority conservation areas.” These programs are in effect but could be easily ignored and some crop producers will do whatever it takes to make a profit. Even if that means breaking the rules of the 2014 Farm…

    The Progressive Era

    The Progressive movement is a broad label for the various economic, social, and political reform movements that took place in the United States between 1900 and 1914. Throughout the Progressive Era, a common concern sets the tone for nearly every discussion of economic, social, and political policy: an uneasiness in the population brought about by the dramatic development of modern industry and economic and social changes. Progressivism was an expression of discontent against industrialization, individualism, immigration, and urbanization.…
