These are the questions I missed and I still disagree with the "correct" answers.

Question: International trade and specialization most often lead to which of the following?

My Answer: a decrease in a nation’s economic growth in the long term

(My reason for saying this is that buying foreign products increases their military industry and decreases US gross domestic profit. We should be buying and trading with our union states. Instead we are buying cheap metal cars and products. This is not helping American economy at all.)

· Question: The Puritans coming to America :

My Answer: were Catholic missionaries escaping religious persecution.

· Question: What was the main issue in the debates between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas in 1858? · ·

MyAnswer: Do Southern states have the constitutional right to leave the union?

· Question: A flood-control levee (or National Defense) is considered a public good because:

MyAnswer: insurance companies cannot afford to replace all houses after a flood

· Question: Which of the following statements is true about abortion?

My Answer: the Supreme Court ruled in Plessy v. Ferguson that underage women must notify their parents of an impending abortion ·

Question: Business profit is:

My Answer: cost minus revenue Correct Answer: revenue minus expenses

(My explanation here is that TR-TC= Accounting Profit { or -Loss-}. I should have gotten this correct and I still believe there is an error in this test format concerning the “correct” answer.) Seriously folks.

· Question: Which of the following fiscal policy combinations has the federal government most often followed to stimulate economic activity when the economy is in a severe recession?

My Answer: decreasing both taxes and spending

· Question: In 1935 and 1936 the Supreme Court declared that important parts of the New Deal were unconstitutional. President Roosevelt responded by threatening to:

My Answer: override the Supreme Court’s decisions by gaining three-quarter majorities in both houses of Congress Correct Answer: appoint additional Supreme Court justices who shared his views

( I thought that as soon as Roosevelt came into office the first thing he did was court pack his commie thugs in the U.S. Supreme Court and not after he implemented his New Deal plan).

· Question: If taxes equal government spending, then:

My Answer: government is not helping anybody

· Question: Free markets typically secure more economic prosperity than government’s centralized planning because:

My Answer: markets rely upon coercion, whereas government relies upon voluntary compliance with the law
