Which is true of Adam Smith's “laissez faire” (hands off) capitalism?
Select one:
a. government should own major industries
b. the economy should be controlled by the ruler
c. all citizens should be equal
d. government should have a limited role in the economy

D) government should have a limited role in the economy

Explanation: The whole idea of laissez-faire economics is that the government should stay away (hands off!) from the economy. The first two are obviously eliminated, and the third one has nothing to do with economics, so that one is eliminated as well.

union blockade

explanation:

the union blockade in the american civil war was a naval strategy by the united states to prevent the confederacy from trading.

the blockade was proclaimed by president abraham lincoln in april 1861, and required the monitoring of 3,500 miles (5,600 km) of atlantic and gulf coastline, including 12 major ports, notably new orleans and mobile. those blockade runners fast enough to evade the union navy could only carry a small fraction of the supplies needed. they were operated largely by british citizens, making use of neutral ports such as havana, nassau and bermuda. the union commissioned around 500 ships, which destroyed or captured about 1,500 blockade runners over the course of the war.
