Why did the U. S. government use rationing for some foods and consumer goods during World War II?

I have not technically learned about WWII yet, but I can infer that they had to ration foods as the countries they were in war with (and their own country) had to send their men to war, so no one was working on the farms. Resulting in a lack of food and goods.

one of the major compromises in the constitutional convention was between the small states and big states. the small states wanted each state to have the same number of representatives in congress. the big states wanted representation based on population.

they thought they were   chrstian even though they were roman opening a r religous war and giving people hope
