It is definitely possible that the opposite of this question occurs. It is possible that a majority of voters might support liberalization even though it would hurt a lot of voters if implemented. This is because people do not always have their best interest at heart. Sometimes, this is because of poor information (people might not realize that something benefits them/affects them) while some other times it is because other factors do not let people see the truth (such as intense ideological or religious feeling).

Profit maximization is the main objective of a company, according to classic economic theory, because the greater its profits, the more sucessful the business is.

Answer:
B. ratified
Explanation:
<u>To ratify something is to give a signed or another kind of formal consent and approval. </u><u>Ratification makes the document officially valid under the law. </u>The word <em>ratify </em>is usually used when something refers to political, national, and international agreements.
Merely signing something is not the same as ratifying. Ratification needs to be formally agreed to by the state and all factors of the state’s organs needed before it is formally adopted. Everyone in the agreement is considered bound and responsible when it comes to the ratification of the document and treaty.
October 2013, the incarceration rate of the United States of America was the highest in the world, at 716 per 100,000 of the national population. While the United States represents about 4.4 percent of the world's population, it houses around 22 percent of the world's prisoners.[1] Corrections (which includes prisons, jails, probation, and parole) cost around $74 billion in 2007 according to the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics.[2][3]
In 2016, the Prison Policy Initiative estimated that in the United States, about 2,298,300 people were incarcerated out of a population of 323.1 million. This means that 0.71% of the population was behind bars. Of those who were incarcerated, about 1,351,000 people were in state prison, 646,000 in local jails, 211,000 in federal prisons, 34,000 in youth correctional facilities, 33,000 in immigration detention camps, 14,000 in territorial prisons, 5,500 in civil commitment, 2,400 in Indian country jails, and 1,400 in United States military prisons.
