Describe the economic weakness in the Soviet Union.

The economic weakness in Soviet Union are:-

- One of the problems was the difficulty of managing a centrally-planned and managed economy.

- It did not cope well with the complexity of a growing, diversifying economy. As a result, high economic growth rates in the early postwar period flattened and declined, practically to zero before the Union disintegrated.

- Economically, the Soviet system simply did not generate sufficient wealth to sustain its political, social and economic ideals as well as provide the needs of its people.

- One factor is that the Soviet economy never recovered from the collectivization of agriculture. As a result, agriculture did not provide a surplus to help finance industrialization.

- "schenck v. united states, case in which the u.s. supreme court ruled on march 3, 1919, that the freedom of speech protection afforded in the u.s. constitution's first amendment could be restricted if the words spoken or printed represented to society a “clear and present danger.” "

- speech aimed to potentially create danger could be banned.
