(04.05 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. This view of the subject must particularly recommend a proper federal system to all the sincere and considerate friends of republican government, since it shows that in exact proportion as the territory of the Union may be formed into more circumscribed Confederacies, or States oppressive combinations of a majority will be facilitated: the best security, under the republican forms, for the rights of every class of citizens, will be diminished: and consequently the stability and independence of some member of the government, the only other security, must be proportionately increased. 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, Federalist No. 51, 1788Emphasis in the excerpt on the importance of a federal system that could protect civil rights was underscored most clearly in the early 1800s by the

(03.01–03.08, 04.07 HC) A country is in a short-run macroeconomic equilibrium. At its current output, its actual unemployment rate is less than its natural rate of unemployment. Illustrate this economy on a fully-labeled aggregate demand—aggregate supply model. Include aggregate demand, short-run aggregate supply, and long-run aggregate supply. Label the short-run equilibrium price level PLE and the short-run equilibrium output YE. Label the full-employment level of output YF. If the government and central bank do not intervene, how would this economy adjust in the long run? Explain. Illustrate the process of part (b) on your graph from part (a). The government decides to use fiscal policy to correct the economic situation in part (a). Assume the difference between the short-run and long-run equilibrium output is worth $50 billion, and the marginal propensity to consume is 0.8. Calculate one specific and effective fiscal policy action the government could take. What would be the short-run impact of the government’s action on the unemployment rate? What would be the short-run impact of the government’s action on the potential output of the economy? Will the long-run equilibrium price level if the government intervenes be less than, equal to, or greater than the long-run equilibrium price level without intervention? Show the impact of the government intervention from part (d) on the equilibrium real interest rate on a fully labeled loanable funds market graph. Will the long-run aggregate supply curve move as a result of the change from part (h)? Explain.
