What kind of bill would a member of Congress be proposing if he or she wished to have a dam or highway built in his or her state?

They were intended to serve several purposes: eliminate traffic congestion; replace what one highway advocate called “undesirable slum areas” with pristine ribbons of concrete; make coast-to-coast transportation more efficient; and make it easy to get out of big cities in case of an atomic attack.

the silk road earned its name from chinese silk, a highly valued commodity that merchants transported along these trade networks. the silk road was a vast trade network connecting eurasia and north africa via land and sea routes. advances in technology and increased political stability caused an increase in trade.

hope this you little brother in-law,
