Among the functions listed above, those which correspond to <u>functions of state courts</u> are the following:
- To interpret the meaning of the laws
- To punish those who break the laws
In the first place, courts are one of the three state powers, the judiciary. They are in charge of interpreting what is stated in the laws in order to make decisions, within the framework judicial processes. Generally there is a dispute and their job is to conclude who is right or who is guilty and needs to receive a punishment, not according to their will but based on what is said in the law.
In opposition, making jobs is the job of the legislative power (Parliament) and enforcing them is the job of the executive power (Goverment). These are the other two state powers.
Granting pardon to those who have reformed is a step that in any case comes after a legal punishment for a bad conduct, and it has to be awarded by the rest of the society.
Answer:
Macroeconomics deals with the economy as a whole and so deals with how variables such as government spending and interest rates will affect the entire economy not just single entities.
Microeconomics on the other hand, deals with individual entities in the economy and how various variables and decision making will affect them.
A nation prints more money, causing inflation. MACROECONOMICS.
This affects the entire nation not just single entities so it is macroeconomics.
A local store has a buy one, get one free sale. MICROECONOMICS.

Oil production decreases, and gas prices rise nationwide. MACROECONOMICS.
As this concerns the entire nation, it is therefore under the realm of Macroeconomics.
After having relative prosperity during the second half of the 20th century until the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991. Citizens from Russia experimented relative economic hardship during the rest of the 90s. The government led by Boris Yeltsin was not successful in the transition of the economic model from socialism to open market capitalism.
Then came Vladimir Putin at the beginning of the 21st century. Under his regime, the Russian economy experimented a sustained growth due to the rising prices of oil. Industries like production, construction, real estate, and financial services all grew.
As a consequence of the improvement of the economy, the middle class grew as well as their income. GDP per capita (the amount of money the average Russian gains over a year) sharply rose since the beginning of Putin's regime and is barely reaching $12000 in 2017.
However, the country still fails to score positively in regarding corruption levels and freedom of speech. As the government is constantly accused of suppressing political opposition.
This leads to describing the standard of living of the average Russian citizen as constantly improving in economic terms, but still lacking the guarantee of security and freedom of speech.
