<p>But the question asked which act was the first to regulate the stock market, right? And the Interstate Commerce Act didn’t regulate the stock market.</p>

<p>Anyone else besides me feel that 14 is wrong???</p>

<p>and im nto sure exactly the choices or answer.
i’m 75% sure that it was about stocks, and i put the securities exchange act.
the Fed DID NOT regulate the stock market. wew buddy no it didn’t. if you haven’t taken economics, youll learn about the fed. they dont regulate stocks. the closest thing to it is them selling bonds. </p>

<p>my backup:
[Securities</a> Exchange Act of 1934: Definition and Much More from Answers.com](<a href=“Answers - The Most Trusted Place for Answering Life's Questions”>Answers - The Most Trusted Place for Answering Life's Questions)
“The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (P.L. 73-291, 48 Stat. 881) was the first federal legislative initiative specifically intended to regulate stock exchanges and publicly held companies that have distributed securities (i.e., stocks and bonds) to the public.”</p>

<p>I also challenge this one:</p>

<ol>
<li>Sedition Acts – SILENCE JOHN ADAMS’S CRITICS</li>
</ol>

<p>wasn’t it to punish anyone who criticized government, not just specifically john adams?? haha we should totally re-create the test so we can better debate.</p>

<p>i know what the fed is, and i think it can kinda regulate the stock market b/c it can change interest rates</p>

<p>that’s not a <i>regulation</i> on stock, though. i know it may ‘regulate’ as in even out the economy (which, when dealing with stocks, is indirect) but regulation as its used in politics and etc more so fits this def. i think: “a law, rule, or other order prescribed by authority, esp. to regulate conduct”. think the phrase ‘rules and regulations’.
you see what im sayin?</p>

<p>RE: #27 - the embargo on US seas caused less imports and so an increase in manufacturing</p>

<p>Interstate Commerce Act and the stock market question are separate questions.</p>

<p>The Interstate one dealt with the agriculture and the “grange” picture</p>

<p>i think i agree with alll these answers except for some disputed ones (the one about the 1763 british policies, and the one about the soviet union)</p>

<p>ICC was the answer for which corporate or organization regulated the words on the man in the picture. and then exchange commission or whatever was the answer to the stock market question.</p>

<p>was the federal reserve system a possible answer for the stock market question?</p>

<p>for the soviet union one…i actually think it might be advanced technology because i know the soviet atomic program was started during the truman administration however, this seems to contradict my opinion. I put army on the test.</p>

<p>“After World War II the Soviet Army had the most powerful land army in history. It had more tanks or artillery than all other countries taken together, more soldiers, and large numbers of greatly experienced commanders and staffs. The British Chiefs of Staff Committee rejected as militarily unfeasible a British contingency plan, Operation Unthinkable,[25] to destroy Stalin’s government and drive the Red Army out of Europe.” which is form wikipedia, which is cited from the book Stumbling Colossus, University Press of Kansas, by David Glantz, who is an American Military Historian.</p>

<p>This question was just poor. Who knows what the real answer is. What pains me is that this question and the french/english/spanish q, both ridiculously subjective, are the going to determine whether i get an 800 or a ~780.</p>

<p>tjan91,
i think the federal reserve act was a choice.</p>

<p>got a 790 baby!</p>

<p>yea i got a 790 too!! How many wrong is that though?</p>

<p>w00t i got an 800</p>
