What was the governments initial response to the Industrial Revolution?

Let's go for it!


Was the British Industrial Revolution as much an agricultural revolution as it was a technological revolution?

Not at first. Agriculture may have contributed by facilitating capital accumulation, though its role is debated. It certainly helped later by feeding the growing urban workforce, though food imports increased hugely in the 19th century. Increased agricultural incomes also contributed to the growth of the domestic market, offsetting low industrial wages in the 1800s-30s, and may have stimulated initial labour-saving mechanisation in industry by maintaining wages in the 1760s-90s. But the Industrial Revolution was otherwise initially technology-driven, unlike the improvements in agriculture which had been ones of technique.


What conditions existed in the U S that allowed the Industrial Revolution to thrive and expand?

The industrial revolution that began in the US ( then British colonies ) in the middle of the eighteenth century was due to no or few government laws that restricted it. As the USA developed after the American revolution, new technologies to produce products were encouraged. With ample natural resources, a sizable population, new inventions, along with good trading ports, the industrial revolution flourished in the US. It can also be said that the advanced US railway system added great transportation support in moving raw materials to manufacturing plants.


How long did the Philippine revolution outcome last?

The Philippine Revolution, which began in 1896, led to the declaration of independence from Spanish rule on June 12, 1898. However, the outcome of the revolution was complicated by the subsequent Philippine-American War, which lasted from 1899 to 1902. Ultimately, the revolution's initial goals were not fully realized until the Philippines gained full independence from the United States on July 4, 1946. Thus, the immediate outcomes of the revolution were overshadowed by continued colonial struggles for several decades.


Why do you think the initial goals of the revolution became so distorted during the a reign of Terror?

The initial goals of the revolution, which aimed to establish liberty, equality, and fraternity, became distorted during the Reign of Terror due to a combination of fear, radicalism, and power struggles among revolutionary leaders. The threat of external and internal enemies led the government to prioritize security over individual rights, resulting in extreme measures against perceived dissent. This environment of paranoia fostered a culture of violence and repression, overshadowing the original ideals of the revolution and leading to a cycle of tyranny that contradicted the movement's foundational principles.

What were the positive long term effects of the invention of the telephone during the Industrial Revolution?

Alexander Graham Bell's invention of the telephone had both short term and long term effects on the industrial revolution. Prior to the telephone fast communications were done by telegraph. The telephone created almost instant person to person communications. This fostered better communications to a company's faraway offices and its factories. The telephone itself created its own revolution as better ways to improve the initial inventions were an industry within itself. As more and more phone lines were created, and more and more phones became available to the public, the flow of trade and business improved dramatically.

How many days would there be in an year if the distance between the earth and the sun were reduced to half of its present value assuming circular orbit explain also?

Kepler's law says that reducing the size of the orbit by a factor of 2 reduces the duration of the revolution by the square root of 8, which means that a full revolution will be done in 129 days instead of 365. ==================================== Another contributor concurred: Bravo. Before I saw this answer, I came up with 129.128 days, assuming that both the initial and final orbits were circular.
