(02.02 MC)This question refers to the following excerpt.”he Minority should submit calmly and chearfully to what the Majority determines, ’til Time and Experience shall either convince, or furnish them with more forcible Arguments against it. Then we shall hear one another patiently, put the Weight of every Man’s Reason in the Ballance against our own, and at last form a Judgment upon the whole Matter; which, if not the wisest, yet, resulting from the Integrity of our own Principles, will be honest and commendable…And, however Mankind may be provoked, by being thwarted with the Sentiments of other Men, a Variety of Opinions is not only absolutely necessary to our Natures, but is likewise of all Things the most useful; since if all Men were of one Mind, there would be no Need of Councils; no Subject for Learning and Eloquence; the Mind would want its proper Exercise, and without it, like the Body, would lose its natural Strength, from a Habit of Sloth and Idleness. Truth itself will receive an Addition of Strength by being opposed, and can never be in Danger of suffering by the Test of Argument.”Source: Sir John Randolph, from his speech upon his being elected speaker of the House of Burgesses, of Virginia, 1734The ideas described in the excerpt reflect how in the early years of the British colonies, they

(01.01–01.03, 05.06 HC) Assume that Atlantis and the Mushroom Kingdom use equal resources to produce consumer and capital goods, as illustrated in the table below showing maximum possible production figures. Country Capital Goods Consumer Goods Atlantis 60 units 180 units Mushroom Kingdom 20 units 100 units Draw a fully labeled production possibility curve for Atlantis. Place capital goods on the vertical axis and consumer goods on the horizontal axis. Assume constant opportunity cost. On your graph from part (a), label an inefficient point of production I, an efficient point of production E, and an unattainable point of production U. Which country has the comparative advantage in the production of capital goods? Explain. If Atlantis shifted from producing 10 units of capital goods and 150 units of consumer goods to producing 24 units of capital goods and 108 units of consumer goods, what would be the impact on its economic growth in the long run? Based on the data table, what range of capital goods could be traded for 15 units of consumer goods that would be mutually beneficial?

(04.01 MC)Question refers to the excerpt below.”In a free government the security for civil rights must be the same as that for religious rights. It consists in the one case in the multiplicity of interests, and in the other in the multiplicity of sects. The degree of security in both cases will depend on the number of interests and sects; and this may be presumed to depend on the extent of country and number of people comprehended under the same government.

Justice is the end of government. It is the end of civil society. It ever has been and ever will be pursued until it be obtained, or until liberty be lost in the pursuit.”Source: James Madison, from The Federalist No. 51, 1788What argument does Madison make against the Anti-Federalist perspective?
