The correct answer is the following: Option D. In 2012, <u>the Supreme Court ruled that requiring people to buy health insurance is an acceptable use of the power to tax.</u> In June of 2012, the Supreme Court of Justice of the United States upheld President Obama's health care overhaul law, stating that its requirement for people to obtain health insurance coverage, was an acceptable use of the power to tax.
The Article I, section 8 of the Constitution, gives Congress the power to lay and collect taxes in order to pay the debt and provide for the general welfare of the country. Based on this, the Supreme Court, in 2012, voted 5 to 4 to confirm that the Constitution permits such form of a tax, and therefore the Court could not forbid the government to do so.
Answer:
The statement is describing the usual difference in trade policy that exists between monarchies and republics.
Explanation:
The excerpt comes from the Spirit of the Laws, by Montesquieu, who was a French philosopher who promoted republicanism and liberalism.
In the text, Montesqueiu is explaining than in monarchies, trade is very restricted, and is usually only allowed for luxury goods like perfums, spices, or silk clothes, because these goods are used by the nobility as a symbol of their power and status.
In monarchies, for the rest of the population, trade is restricted. The common people therefore cannot access goods from abroad, or can only do so at a very high cost.
In republics, Montesquieu says, trade tends to be more open. Merchants become the ones who do most of the trade, guided by their economic ideas. The merchants therefore obtain many goods from abroad, that both the nobility and the commoner can acquire for a lower price.
In conclusion, Montesquieu is using the argument for trade as another reason to support republics over monarchies.
