There are definitely more than three but I can help you with the prime/main three techniques/things used.
1)Propaganda, no not the type your thinking of (not the communist Russian propaganda like stuff), I more mean false truths. The general public is very easy to manipulate and information is also very easy to modify. You can tell a person that a new healthcare system will make everyone with a net worth over $1 Million healthcare cheaper, although you can reword that to sound like, 'healthcare will become more effective and will help to improve the quality of life. This system is designed with the people in mind (the rich ones), I believe that if this system is passed then we will live longer and better lives.' See how different that sounds! It makes it seem like everyone is gonna get amazing care and their life's gonna be peachy. Most times false truths are targeted towards poorly educated people. Sadly that tends to be the general public (DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU ARE!!). If you can rally the general public then you in essence have more control than you need.  
2)Spread lies about other laws/systems. Ok so this one sounds a bit confusing, how are you supposed to spread a lie about a law. While one may not directly spread a lie about a law they can make up lies about the complexity of it, say things like 'this law targets only the upperclass and not you, when in reality it targets the upperclass but does more damage to them than help. 
3)Straight up confuse people/distract them. Create a conflict, chaos is distracting. Surround a law with lies and slander and the people who are working to pass it, chances are the general public is going to go 'I don't trust them! Lets pass that other law which is probably miles worse'. Similar to spreading a law, slander about those working on it can destroy it's reputation.

Provide one explanation of why the initiative process today does not realistically provide a mechanism for citizens to shape pub
enot [183]

Answer:

The initiative is a power reserved to the voters to propose legislation, by petition, that would enact, amend or repeal a City Charter or Code provision.

Explanation:

- The right of (legislative) initiative is the constitutionally defined power to propose a new law (bill). The right of initiative is usually attributed to parliaments, which in most countries have the right to make law proposals, alone or sharing this right with the government.

- An initiative is the first in a series of actions. Initiative can also mean a personal quality that shows a willingness to get things done and take responsibility. An initiative is the start of something, with the hope that it will continue. Government and business start initiatives all the time.

- The process is termed INITIATIVE because the electorate can initiate legislation. ... The referendum also permits the Legislature itself to refer proposed legislation to the electorate for approval or rejection. The initiative and referendum processes guarantee Washington's electorate the right to legislate.

1. Does an increase in price necessarily bring about higher total revenue? Explain. 2. Describe the different determinants of de
Marysya12 [62]

<u>Question 1</u>

The correct answer is: "FALSE".

The total revenue earned by a firm is computed using the formula:

R= price * quantity

According to the formula, if the term "price" increases, R would increase too. But an increase in price usually decreases the amount demanded by consumers of a certain product. Therefore, if quantity demanded drops in a higher proportion than the increase in price, the final total revenue would decrease. So the final effect depends on the size of the two variations.

<u>Question 2</u>

<u>The determinants of demand are the following:</u>

  • Price: inversely related to the quantity demanded, as the larger the price the smaller the amount demanded of a product.
  • Income of consumers: directly related. The larger the income earned by an economic agent, the larger the amount demanded of a normal good (there are exceptions, such as inferior goods, for which income and demand are inversely related).
  • Prices of related goods of services. If two goods are substitutes, the increase on the price of one, decreases the amount demanded of that product but increases the amount demanded of the other product. It two goods are complements, the increase in the price of one good decreases the amount demanded of it, and the amount demanded of the other product too.
  • Tastes or preferences of consumers.  If a product is in line with the general preferences of consumers the amount demanded will be large.
  • Market expectations. For example, if a price is expected to rise, consumers might prefer to buy now and therefore demand increases at the moment.
