During the peak of the Information Age, Bill Gates created an operating system that enabled computers to be used by the general consumer. Before Windows 3.0 was released, a huge portion of the general population was unable to use a computer. Not only did this open up many possibilities for consumers, but Gates ended up selling 4 million copies of Windows 3.0. His business, Microsoft, had only snowballed from there. Microsoft eventually went on to create Windows 95, and their sales numbers kept and continue growing. Had the government intervened in the creation of his operating system, his business would not have been as successful as it is right now.

Had government intervened in the creation of Windows, Microsoft could've been forced to stop

This meant that each state could mint or produce different denominations of value for their “state” dollars and coinage. Because there were many discrepancies in money and their respective values, many problems soon would arise in the Confederation such as, inflation, parties not accepting each other’s money because it was not considered “legal” tender, and to the loss of property because of non-payment. The new government that was to be formed in the wake of the Confederation would attempt to resolve this issue by granting the Congress the ability,…

Just as the North was more industrial-based before the Civil War, it remained that way in many aspects post-reconstruction, but this brought…
