The tariff helped fund the north in eliminating slavery from the south because the tariff generated much revenue. 2) The Homestead Act - This act quickly got people to move into the Midwest in vast numbers at the conclusion on the Civil War, this act allowed the US access to resources in the Midwest under lands the US had already owned and became a great integration into the American economy once it became a great source for farming. 3) Freedmen's Bureau - Gave relief to former slaves in the south 4) Civil Rights Act 1866 - Gave former slaves the same rights other Americans had 5) National Park Act - created Yellowstone National park and created a movement to protect wonders of nature from being exploited by anyone for their resources. 6) Sherman Anti-trust Act - prevented against the creation of monopolies of large US markets by a single employer or company. 7) Rivers and Harbors Act - prevented against dumping of trash or sewage into rivers or harbors without a government issued permit 8) Pure food and drug act - forced companies to manufacture acceptable qualities of drugs or foods that are sold in US and international markets 9) Meat inspection Act - created the FDA to monitor the qualities of all foods to make sure none of them posed a health risk to consumers 10) Russian famine relief act - provided relief to Russia in the 1920's suffering from famine 11) Mt Rushmore Act - allocated federal funding for the construction of Mt Rushmore 12) Bolder Canyon Project Act - authorized the federal funding of the creation of the Hoover Dam 13) Balanced Budget Act - created a budget that would fiscally benefit the US under Clinton's administration 14) American Inventors Protection Act - granted increased protection to patents owned by Americans from unfair corporate exploitation. 15) African Growth and Opportunity Act - granted funds to help relief countries of sub-Saharan Africa 16) Childrens Health Act - allocated government funding for research into diseases that affected children, such as autism 17) Iran nonproliferation act - act that severely punished corporations giving material to the Iranian government to use to create a nuclear bomb 18) No child left behind act - act to help underprivileged children receive a better education in the public school systems 19) Homeland Security Act - act to create the department of Homeland Security to keep America safe after the 9/11 attacks and mailing of Anthrax to senators 20) Sudan Peace Act - act that condemned the genocide in Sudan while also bringing peace to the country going through their second civil war 21) Job Creation and Worker Assistance Act - self explanatory 22) Prison Rape Elimination Act - designed to protect prisoners from being raped by other prison members 23) North Korea Human Rights Act - US provides aid to North Korean refugees while also providing humanitarian relief to those still in North Korea 24) Belarus Democracy Act - provides US funding to independent media sources in the dictator-run state of Belarus 25) Deficit reduction act of 2006 - also self explanatory 26) Respect for America's Fallen Heroes Act - prevents protests from being held within 300 feet of veteran grave yards *These are just the acts that Republican houses supported that DID get passed, there are cases where acts were not passed by the Senate or the President that the Republican house supported but was not signed into law* If the Pro is only referring to the CURRENT house of representatives under Republican power, here are some laws that was voted on, 1) Budget Control Act of 2011 - Act that prevented the US from defaulting on its foreign credit while also limiting the growing deficit of US government spending by about $900 Billion 2) Cut, Cap, and Balance Act - PROPOSED LAW that was supported by the Republican House meant to cap federal spending according to percentage of the GDP 3) No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act - PROPOSED LAW that passed the House and is meant so that taxpayer money could not be used for funding state abortions 4) Respect for Marriage Act - PROPOSED LAW that is supported by the Republican party that is designed to repeal an older law prohibiting the government from denying giving aid to military families because they are gay. There has been no vote on it by anyone but the Republican party has voiced their support of the bill http://www.logcabin.org... So whether or not the Con is claiming that 1) The House of Representatives have not supported a good law for the US either in the past, or 2) The current one we have right now has not supported a beneficial law for the US, I believe is false
