first, by actually establishing state companies to build such improvement; second, by providing part of the capital for mixed public-private companies setting out to make a profit In the early nineteenth century, state governments also engaged in a surprisingly large amount of direct regulatory activity, including extensive licensing and inspection programs Licensing targets reflected both similarities in and differences between the economy of the nineteenth century and that of today: in the nineteenth century, state regulation through licensing fell especially on peddlers, innkeepers, and retail merchants of various kinds The perishable commodities of trade generally came under state inspection, and such important frontier staples as lumber and gunpowder were also subject to state control Finally, state governments experimented with direct labor and business regulation designed to help the individual laborer or consumer, including setting maximum limits on hours of work and restrictions on price-fixing by businesses Although the states dominated economic activity during this period, the federal government was not inactive Its goals were the facilitation of western settlement and the development of native industries Toward these ends the federal government pursued several courses of action It established a national bank to stabilize banking activities in the country and, in part, to provide a supply of relatively easy money to the frontier, where it was greatly needed for settlement It permitted access to public western lands on increasingly easy terms, culminating in the Homestead Act of 1862, by which title to land could be claimed on the basis of residence alone Finally, it set up a system of tariffs that was basically protectionist in effect, although maneuvering for position by various regional interests produced frequent changes in tariff rates throughout the nineteenth century Hệ thống giáo dục HOCMAI Tổng đài tư vấn: 1900 6933 - Trang | - Hocmai.vn – Website học trực tuyến số Việt Nam Tham gia nhóm luyện thi mơn Tiếng Anh Hương Fiona BỘ ĐỀ 9-10 ĐIỂM & Page Hương Fiona để cập nhật nhiều thơng tin bổ ích Question 36 What does the passage mainly discuss?
