What is a siamang gibbons enemy?
Humans, tigers, and leopards are the main threats other than habitat loss.
Gibbons are omnivores (eating plants and meat). They forage for food in the forests during the day, eating fruit(which constitutes about 75% of their diet), leaves, flowers, seeds, tree bark, and tender plant shoots. They also eat insects, spiders, bird eggs, and small birds.
Gibbons face several natural enemies, including large birds of prey, snakes, and some carnivorous mammals such as leopards and tigers. Habitat loss due to deforestation and human encroachment also poses a significant threat, making them more vulnerable to predation. Additionally, poaching and the illegal pet trade further endanger their populations. Overall, gibbons must navigate a range of threats both from predators and human activities.
Gibbon's eat fruits and plants mainly but they also eat insects, Spiders, bird eggs, and small birds.
How did the case of Gibbons vs. Ogden affect economic practices in the US?
The decision in this case represented a tidal shift of power between the states and federal government, dictated by the Article VI Supremacy Clause, as did many of the Court's decisions during Marshall's tenure. Although the concept of nationalism is often decried, in this instance federal supremacy was necessary to national economic growth.
Gibbons was the first case in which the Supreme Court of the US held that Congress had the power to regulate commerce among the states via the Interstate Commerce Clause (Article I, Section 8, Clause 3). Until this case, Congress hadn't exercised its constitutional power to regulate interstate commerce.
Most states had established laws regulating commerce under the Articles of Confederation, which preceded the US Constitution. Under the Articles of Confederation, the US government had little power to intervene or influence state laws; the Constitution elevated the authority of the United States over the states in many areas, emphasizing national supremacy over state sovereignty. The States resisted this intrusion by arguing they retained sovereign rights to control their own territory under the Tenth Amendment and that they hadn't ceded this right when the Constitution was ratified.
The net effect of conflicting state laws was restriction of trade and travel between the states, representing an inconvenience to travelers and inhibiting national economic growth. Gibbons v. Ogden has been called "the emancipation proclamation of American commerce" for its support of capitalism and a free market economy.
Gibbons v. Ogden prevented states from establishing or enforcing similar monopolistic transportation laws, encouraging growth of steamboat travel and cargo shipping. This expanded trade opportunities between states, boosting states' economies. Landlocked states were better able to participate in regional trade because they gained access to all navigable US waters. The decision in Gibbons created opportunities for the development of more efficient and sophisticated means of transporting people and goods, such as the railroad.
