Explanation:

To answer this question, let's first understand what would happen to prices if either supply or demand remained constant, whilst the other changed.

If supply remains constant, an increase in demand will result in higher prices. On the contrary, a decrease in demand will result in lower prices.

If demand remains constant, an increase in supply will result in lower prices, while a decrease in supply will result in higher prices.

This may make sense with a scenario:

All resources are scarce, so let's say a seller has one chair, and has one buyer. The chair would likely be sold for a pretty low price. However, if the next day, the seller still only had one chair, and this time had, say, 10 buyers, the chair would likely go much higher. This is because the seller now has more power, and the chair would be going to whoever is willing to pay the most, which likely isn't that original buyer.

On the other hand, if there were three buyer, and only one seller, the chair would have gone for a pretty average price. However, if there were the same three buyers with 10 sellers instead, each seller would have a lot less bargaining power, be forced to compete with each other, and hence sell the chairs at a much lower price.

This relationship may be better displayed with a graphical approach.

It's important to remember that in a basic supply and demand graph, the output is on the x-axis and price will be on the y-axis.

Demand will always be downward sloping, whilst supply will always be upward sloping.

The intersection of the two lines will be market equilibrium.

An increase in demand or supply can be modeled with a shift of the curves, in which you can play around and see what will happen to the market equilibrium of price.

An increase in demand will result in a rightward shift of the curve (more output at a given price) while a decrease creates a leftward shift. (less output at a given price)

An increase in supply is a rightward shift as well (more output at a given price) while a decrease is a leftward shift. (less output at a given price)

I hope that makes sense, please let me know if you have any questions!

Let us take this slowly by considering a bicycle. You are given 1 bicycle and you wish to sell it. 4 people are interested and think your price is fair.

so the supply is 1 bicycle

and the demand is 4 people

If those people are want the bicycle equally, what do you think could happen to the price of the bicycle? Shouldn't it go up? Especially if they are all willing to make side deals.

Supply: 1 bicycle

Demand: 4 people

Price goes up.

Now go back.

Suppose you have 10 bicycles and only 8 people are bidding on them. They are not really that interested. So you have to lower the price until someone bites.

Supply: 10 bicycles

Demand: 8 people.

Price goes down. The supply exceeds the demand.

What were the political consequences of the revolution in religion during the mid 1700s

choli [55]

During the revolution in religion, the separation of church from state started. It took power away from Church leaders. As people start to think for themselves, they started to demand more power from within the church. Congregation started removing their pastors and influencing their pastors' messages and sermons to the Church. More importantly, there has been a new American concept of freedom as renewed intellectuals started studying religion. People started to question the Anglican Church structure, the head being the King of England, which eventually led to the American Revolution.

igomit [66]

The correct answer is D, as the name of the court case would be The State of Arizona v. John Doe.

In criminal cases, the accusation is carried out by the State through a prosecutor. In the case under analysis, although the victim is Josephine Lawler, it is the State of Arizona that carries out the claim. Regarding the accused, there is no doubt whatsoever, John Doe is the one who must respond for his crime, and so it is marked in the name of the case.

Why were delegates working to replace the Articles of Confederation?

Basile [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. Delegates were working to replace the Articles of Confederation because they created a central government that was too weak.

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation formed a weak confederation that united the Thirteen Colonies, with the capacity to govern themselves almost only in times of war and emergencies. Congress could make decisions, but did not have the power to apply them. The biggest setback was the requirement of unanimous approval of the Thirteen states to modify the articles. At the same time, the most important power that Congress lacked was the power to collect taxes: it could only request money from the States. These, for their part, did not always comply with the demands and Congress did not have the necessary funds for its operation.

After the end of the War of Independence and the beginning of new priorities, its limitations became evident. This document was replaced by the Constitution of the United States after its ratification on June 21, 1788.
