The </span><span>Baron de Montesquieu would most likely agree with the Speaker 3, as it was Montesquieu who theorize first that a government should be divided into branches that are separated but equal (the three branches should be executive, legislative and judiciary), in order to avoid that one of the three could acquire more power than the other and as a form of control of democracy.</span>
Answer: A. designating an anti-charity should be more effective because loss aversion will provide additional motivation
.
Options:
A. designating an anti-charity should be more effective because loss
aversion will provide additional motivation
B. designating a charity should be more effective because it avoids all potential for loss
C. it shouldn’t matter whether one designates a charity or anti-charity
D. self-interest biases generally keep people from choosing the anti-charity
Explanation:
The study of behavioral Economics shows that people are more driven by the loss of fear than the hope of gain. This is known as loss aversion. In commitment contracts where penalty money is promised to a charity or an anti-charity if the goal is not achieved, those who promise their money to an anti-charity tend to achieve their goals more. The same also applies when comparing this group and those who do not have to forego anything if they do not meet their target.
This is because giving to a charity will still seem beneficial while losing the money to an anti-charity will seem like a total loss.
Madison’s outlook on the intrinsic power potentials of the three branches of government is that no branch should be more controlling than the next. Madison supposed in balancing the division of powers between the three branches, where their powers were one and the same. Madison stated that a tough and powerful government is wanted, but an inadequate government is also significant where no branch is prevailing. Due to Madison and his thought of checks and balances within the three branches of government, our government is more equipped than it was before. His plan involved getting rid of circumstances where a majority is united by a common interest, where the human rights of the minority are timid.
