Government Restraint In America

In this day in age, humanity seems to be engulfed in a technological utopia that has continued to evolve from the beginning of time. Since the first instances of industrial development occurred in the nineteenth century, with the invention of the telephone by Alexander Graham Bell and the light bulb by Thomas Edison, new and improved innovations continue to progress the world toward an efficient industry. Because this extensive growth of fresh ideas is inevitable with the new wave of millennials approaching, why should the government try to stifle the impossible? Granted, safety precautions need to be implemented to ensure the standard methods of a beneficial structure, however, that does not provide the government with assurance to completely
When the modern car was invented in Britain, the government enacted the Red Flag Act that required three people at all times to operate the vehicle: a driver, a person to fuel up the vehicle, and someone to stand in front of the car and wave a red flag.

Without having to be concerned with regulations similar to the Red Flag Act, Henry was able to create vehicles that traveled up to forty-five mph. This more efficient method of traveling would later on prove to be disruptive for the horse and buggy industry, causing the number of horse to decline tremendously over the course of forty years. Nonetheless, the invention of the horse-less carriage was an easy target that acquired multiple technological problems in the process of development. Even more true, past supporters of the Red Flag Act had a reason to worry because cars were dangerous, and in today's times, they are the leading cause of accidental deaths. However, despite such worries, Ford did not have to be rules of the horse and buggy business trying to stifle the emergence of
Although this new invention decreases the risk of car accidents and traffic jams, it also poses a threat to the employees of the taxicab and truck-driving industry; such as the way the evolution of the car posed a threat to the horse and carriage. Nonetheless, the emergence of this new invention was still able to create more jobs for others, even though it may have replaced some in the
