<u>Answer:</u>

The assertion that the supreme court is a counter majoritarian institution comes from the question asked by Alexander Bickel ​in 1962 which tried to address the problem of overpowering of the supreme court over the Senate.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Alexander Bickel believed that the power of just 9 supreme court judges to decide for over 308 million Americans and to change the decisions made in the Senate by a majority of members was not fair as far as a balanced functioning of the democracy was concerned.

alexira [117]
The correct answer is: <span>It hurt cities economically because the middle class paid a large share of the taxes. 
</span>
The flight of the urban middle class affected the suburbs because this was transition from the war that has caused many people to pay their taxes for the infrastructures that needed to be built and the supplies that needed to be sold to the market. The economy was at an all-time low as well during this period, and the government had to take action by imposing higher taxes on the masses.

The easiest way for people to stop smoking is to quit “cold-turkey.” Please select the best answer from the choices provided. T
Paraphin [41]
First of all, this will depend on the particular person, for some people, the "Cold Turkey" method does indeed produce the best results.

However, generally, it's not easy in the sense of being able to keep it up: a gradual cessation can  make it easier for people to stay away from cigarettes.
So the statement is false.

Use the midpoint method to calculate the price elasticity of demand for potato chips that increased in price from $2.00 to $3.00
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

e_p ≅ -1.7.

Explanation:

Let's calculate the change in quantity:

\frac{Q_2 - Q_1}{\frac{Q_2+Q_1}{2} } = \frac{50-100}{\frac{50+100}{2} } = (approx.) -0.67.

Let's now calculate the change in price:

\frac{P_2 - QP_1}{\frac{P_2+P_1}{2} } = \frac{3.00-2.00}{\frac{3.00+2.00}{2} } = 0.40.

Finally, let's calculate the price elasticity of demand:

e_p = \frac{-0.67}{0.40} = (approx) -1.7.

Discuss how existentialism, anti colonialism, and the quest for personal freedom influenced the landmarks of the last fifty year
mixer [17]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Existentialism, anti-colonialism, and the quest for personal freedom influenced the landmarks of the last fifty years in that they were the dominant concepts that supported Neoliberalism, as the imperative economic system in modern western societies.

During these last fifty years, those concepts shaped the thinking of corporate America. An economic and political system that promoted free market, where corporations became so rich, countries signed free trade agreements, multinational companies opened branches in many third world companies, and unfortunately, it never impacted in a positive way to the working class, just benefited the rich people.

That is why today we see so many protests and demonstration in many countries, including the US, where people are demanding drastic changes after the US Crisis of 2008, when the federal government decided to support and rescue the big bankers and corporations, instead of supporting the interests of the common American citizen.
