    • A legal judgement that a person of a business cannot pay its debts and that its financial affairs must be handled to pay off creditors

    • A group of people at the same economic level

    • Economic ups and downs , four phases of the cycle are prosperity, recession, depression, and recovery

    Correct Answer
    A. A financial condition that occurs when money supply increases and there are not enough goods on which to spend the money and prices go up
    Explanation
    Inflation refers to a situation where there is an increase in the general price level of goods and services in an economy over a period of time. This is caused by an excess supply of money in the economy, which leads to a decrease in the purchasing power of money. When there is more money available but not enough goods and services to purchase, people start competing for the limited resources, driving up prices. Therefore, the correct answer accurately describes inflation as a financial condition that occurs when the money supply increases and there are not enough goods on which to spend the money, resulting in price increases.

    Correct Answer
    A. A clause that restored the right to vote to men who could not pay the poll tax if their grandfathers could vote before the Civil War
    Explanation
    The Grandfather Clause was a provision that allowed men who were unable to pay the poll tax to still have the right to vote, but only if their grandfathers had been eligible to vote before the Civil War. This clause was implemented as a way to circumvent the 15th Amendment, which granted African American men the right to vote. By requiring voters to prove that their grandfathers had voted before the Civil War, it effectively excluded newly freed African Americans from voting, as their ancestors had been enslaved and therefore unable to vote.
