Answer:

Richard Cloward and Lloyd Ohlin's opportunity deliquency theory.

Explanation:

Deliquency and Opportunity theory states that "American culture generally advances a notion that if we work hard and are smart and capable, we will find suitable employment, but Cloward and Ohlin noted that this isn't always the case. There aren't always enough jobs for everyone, our school systems don't prepare students equally, and we don't all live in neighborhoods that provide us with opportunities.

The opportunities we have available to us determine in many ways if we will turn to delinquency or conform to more legitimate paths. According to Cloward and Ohlin, young people turn to delinquency when they have been boxed out of more legitimate opportunities. An example is when working class young people cannot find a good paying job or achieve middle class status, and they turn to delinquency in an effort to create a better life."

b) trade enriches societies: the merchants could sell their goods for more than they bought them for and like this they and their cities became richer.

After dating for only 2 months, Joel and Natalie broke up. They were unhappy together because Joel had always wanted to run off
larisa [96]

Optimal level of arousal is the correct answer.

Each person has a different level of arousal and this level is perfect for them. In order to maintain this level, people will seek for activities that promote their own stimulation. In this case, Joel got his arousal elevated when he went out partying/clubbing, while Natalie was happier when she was able to stay home and read her mystery novels. Thus, their relationship was unlikely to succeed since their optimal arousal level was out of sync.

Do you think the framers of the Constitution intended the Supreme Court to have the power of judicial review as part of the syst
Lelechka [254]

Yes.

The framers intended to have three co-equal branches of government.

For the Supreme Court to be on the same level of the Congress or the Executive, they would need a tool in their arsenal to make that possible.

That tool is judicial review.
