andrew jackson was the most openly partisan and politically involved president up to that point in history.True or False
Molodets [167]

True, Andrew Jackson was the most openly partisan and politically involved president in history up to that point.

A partisan is an ardent supporter of a political party or army. In multi-party systems, the term refers to people who strongly support the policies of their party and are unwilling to compromise with political opponents. A political partisan is not the same as a military partisan.

This is similar to agenda bias in that it exists primarily when the emphasis is on politicians and how they choose to cover and present preferred policy discussions and issues.

Given the law of diminishing marginal returns - the notion is that as additional capital is used to produce a good, the increments to output decrease - the marginal return to capital in Galaxia is not greater than myopia.

Therefore the answer is d) Myopia
