Which of the following thinkers (Thomas Malthus, Adam Smith and David Ricardo, Jeremy Bentham, Karl Marx) do you think most influenced Sir Charles Trevelyan’s ideas about government intervention? Explain.

Thomas Malthus.

Explanation:

Thomas Malthus was the person that affected and influenced Sir Charles Trevelyan's ideas about government intervention.

This is because, Sir Charles was a British official who was faced with the problem of scarcity of potato and Great famine in 1840 and his decision not to help the Irish was probably because of what was taught to him by his professor Thomas Malthus.

Thomas Malthus taught in his theory of population that population would increase while available food would not increase in the same manner and would cause large scale shortage.

on 6 november american voters will elect members of the house of representatives and the senate, which together are called congress.

both houses of congress are currently controlled by the republican party, which backs president donald trump.

the democrats think they can win control of the house of representatives this year by winning a majority of seats.

doing so would let them block or delay the president’s plans by refusing to enact them.

all 435 seats in the house of representatives are up for election.

if the democrats want to take control of the house by having the most seats, they’re going to have to claim at least 23 from the republicans.
