How does the Sedition Act defy America rights?

1 answer:

3 0

The Republican minority in Congress complained that the Sedition Act violated the First Amendment to the Constitution, which protected freedom of speech and freedom of the press. But the Federalist majority pushed it through, arguing that English and American courts had long punished seditious libel under common law, and that freedom of speech must be balanced with an individual’s responsibility for false statements.

A Cobb-Douglas production function A. exhibits decreasing returns to scale. B. can exhibit constant, increasing, or decreasing

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is C) exhibits constant returns to scale

Explanation:

The Cobb-Douglas production function is as follows:

F(K,L) = A× Kα × Lα-1

Where:

A = Total factor productivy
K = Capital
α = Capital share's of income
L = Labor

This function states that income is divided among the owner's of capital and labor (workers) in similar proportions across time. Like the fundamental production function F(K,L) = K × L it has constant returns to scale.

The property of constant returns to scale establishes that if the factors or production, capital and labor, are increased by a determined proportion, output will increase by the same proportion.
