During the great depression the lack of representation and enormous discrimination of minorities provided an unfair advantage to white unionized workers. The Davis-Bacon Act was a direct reflection of this ideology, according to Institute for Justice, “with the specific intent of preventing non-unionized black and immigrant laborers from competing with unionized white workers for scarce jobs…” (Bullock).

The Interstate Commerce Act (ICA) took place on February 4, 1887, when the Senate and House of Representatives granted Congress the power to regulate interstate railroads.

Senator Charles Sumner was an anti-slavery republican who presented many intense and full emotion speeches during his life time. When he presented his speech called “The Crime Against Kansas”, he gave the speech against the southerner’s effort to cover slavery into Kansas and attacked senator Andrew Butler in a negative sense, for example, calling him "moron." This especially rankled Preston Brooks, a nearby brother of Butler thus he chose to make a move. He trusted that Sumner went past his breaking points as a congressperson in embarrassing Butler. So, he chose to show Sumner a lesson:

In the pursuit of truth, the United States Supreme Court has developed or made rulings in reference to several principles of conduct which have to be followed by all prosecutors to assure that the accused person(s) are allowed the proper procedures and due process of the law granted by the 14th Amendment.

After The Airmail Act of 1930 contracts with the post office were the main source of income for commercial airlines. The Airmail Act of 1930 changed the way payments to airlines were calculated, it was based off of the volume of mail, rather than the weight of the mail (Baltazar, 2018) Established airlines ended up outbidding the smaller operators form contracts with the U.S. Postal System. There was no competition due to the high bidding abilities from the established airlines. The new system of payments increased the efficiency of the U.S. Postal System.
