Answer: Section 12 and Section 16

Explanation:

Compare the quoted sections of the Virginia Declaration of Rights (1776) with the 1st Amendment of the US Constitution (adopted in 1791). I've bolded the most pertinent points of similarity.

Virginia Declaration of Rights, Section 12:

That the freedom of the press is one of the greatest bulwarks of liberty, and can never be restrained but by despotick governments.

Virginia Declaration of Rights, Section 16:

That religion, or the duty which we owe to our CREATOR and the manner of discharging it, can be directed only by reason and conviction, not by force or violence; and therefore all men are equally entitled to the free exercise of religion, according to the dictates of conscience; and that it is the mutual duty of all to practice Christian forbearance, love, and charity towards each other.

1st Amendment, US Constitution:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

If morality represents the way we would like the world to work and economics represents how it actually does work, then the story of feldmanâ€™s bagel business lies at the very intersection of morality and economics. yes, a lot of people steal from him, but the vast majority, even though no is watching over them, do not. this outcome may surprise some peopleâ€”including feldmanâ€™s economist friends, who counseled him twenty years ago that his honor-system scheme would never work. but it would not have surprised adam smith. in fact, theme of smithâ€™s first book, the theory of moral sentiments, was the innate honesty of mankind. â€śhow selfish soever man may be supposed,â€ť smith wrote, â€śthere are evidently some principles in his nature which interest him in the fortune of others, and render their happiness necessary to him, though he derives nothing from it, except the pleasure of seeing it.â€ť which best describes the authorsâ€™ purpose in using a quotation from adam smithâ€™s book the theory of moral sentiments? to highlight their knowledge of scottish philosophers to prove that people are inherently dishonest to demonstrate that incentive is the driving force behind cheating to lend credibility and additional support to their conclusion
