Overall, do you think rationing had a negative or a positive effect on morale in the country?

I think rationing had both positive and negative impact on the morale in the country.

Explanation:

According to me rationing had both positive and negative impact because the people who had already less resources were forced to live without or even very less resources. They were already living were in the state of misery due to the lack of money and other things.

The process of rationing put pressure on them to have lesser resources. While the people who had the more financial power and more available resources learnt to live with the limited resources.
