GOVT 350 Final ExamWhat are the consequences of egalitarian policies? - ANS-Greater levels of civil
intrusion to compensate the "disadvantaged" in the name of "fairness is required. It
causes the Absolutizing of Equality in every dimension, or social, economic, and
political leveling. In the words of Friedman, egalitarian policies puts equality—in the
sense of equality of outcome—ahead of freedom will end up with neither equality nor
freedom. Egalitarian policies uses force to achieve equality and it will destroy freedom.
And the very force, that was filled with good intentions, will end up in the hands of
people who use it to promote their interests.
When considering the relationship between capitalism and equality why is it incorrect to
assert that capitalism, with its equality of opportunity, increases inequality of income and
wealth? - ANS-Income distributions in market economies do not compare unfavorably
with those of nonmarket economies, even with those of socialist-type systems
that are ostensibly predicated on explicitly egalitarian premises. In fact, absolute
standards of living are much higher in market economies,
so the incidence and extent of absolute poverty is correspondingly much lower.

jurisdiction and its relationship to education in respect to the Virginia religious liberty
debates and the establishment clause of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
In other words, how has public (government) education evolved into a type of vehicle for
an 'established faith,' which the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was intended
to guard against? - ANS-Education was originally considered a part of colonial/state
jurisdiction in early America. Back then, Education was considered, by its very nature, a
'religious' exercise because it involved instruction in matters of truth relative to all
subjects, especially theology. Since, it was a religious exercise, magistrates were not to
fund it via assessments, or establish it institutionally either. Until 1852, when
Massachusetts adopted its own law, no compulsory education law existed within the
United States. In 1867, States began to successively adopt their own laws. However,
many were still hesitant to adopt such laws due to parents who were concerned that
their right to govern their child's education would be stripped. In 1857, the ground was
laid for a national system of Education, and which called for a federal department of
education in the form of the founding of the national education association. Soon the
creation of national educational laws and institutions came about such as the 1.
National Defense Education Act of 1958, a program intending to enhance the
Secondary Education Learning in the fields of Math and Science with Education
Funding (a reaction to the space race), and the department of education in October
