Explanation

Progressive taxation is a system where the tax rate increases as the income of an individual or business increases. The purpose of progressive taxation is to impose a comparable burden on all citizens in funding the shared wealth of a country. This means that individuals with higher incomes will pay a higher percentage of their income in taxes, while those with lower incomes will pay a lower percentage. The goal is to create a fair and equitable tax system that ensures everyone contributes to the funding of public goods and services.

Explanation

The purpose of public education is to prepare individuals to be good citizens by teaching them the necessary knowledge and skills to actively participate in society.

Explanation

Severe wealth inequalities in countries typically lead to poverty, disease, shortened lifespans, increased crime, and political instability. This is because when a small portion of the population holds a significant amount of wealth, it often leads to a lack of resources and opportunities for the majority of the population. This can result in higher levels of poverty and limited access to healthcare, leading to increased disease and shortened lifespans. Additionally, the lack of economic opportunities can drive individuals towards criminal activities, contributing to increased crime rates. The resulting social and economic disparities can also lead to political instability within the country.

Explanation

The correct answer is the decision of individual US States to ratify the Constitution. This analogy suggests that just as individual US States had to ratify the Constitution in order for it to be established and effective, individual countries had to ratify the United Nations charter for it to be recognized and implemented. Both situations involve a collective decision-making process by individual entities that ultimately leads to the establishment and functioning of a larger governing body or system.

Explanation

Judges that make law based on their own interpretation of disputed legal provisions are doing their job. This means that judges have the responsibility to interpret and apply the law to resolve disputes. While they should not legislate from the bench or violate their oath of office, it is their duty to interpret the law and make decisions based on their understanding of it. This may involve interpreting disputed legal provisions and making decisions that have the effect of creating new law or setting legal precedent.

Explanation

The correct answer is false because all economic enterprises create jobs to the same extent, whether they are funded privately or publicly. While it is true that the government directly employs politicians and owns certain businesses like the post office, this does not mean that only businesses create jobs. The government also creates jobs through public sector employment and by investing in infrastructure projects, education, healthcare, and other sectors that stimulate economic growth and job creation. Therefore, the statement that government has never created a single job is false.

Submit
13. Public expenditures tend to advance the public interest more than private expenditures because:

Explanation

Public expenditures tend to advance the public interest more than private expenditures because the government project will result in something publicly owned instead of privately owned. This means that the benefits and resources generated from the project will be accessible to the general public, rather than being limited to a specific group of individuals or a private entity. Public ownership ensures that the project serves the collective welfare and contributes to the overall development and well-being of society.

Explanation

The correct answer is "improving the community" because when spending public funds, the goal should be to benefit the overall community as a whole. While helping poor people and eliminating income inequality are important, improving the community encompasses a broader scope of benefits such as infrastructure development, environmental sustainability, and overall quality of life for all residents. Providing jobs is also important, but it is just one aspect of improving the community and should not be the sole focus when allocating public funds.
