1. Read this excerpt from a political speech. Then complete the chart by identifying some of the most important characteristics of the speech. (8 points) The greatest problem facing the United States today is the threat of terrorism. As members of Congress, we must do everything possible to ensure the safety of the citizens we represent. That is why I strongly urge my fellow senators to support this new antiterrorism bill. It will increase funding for vital security programs and allow law enforcement to more easily access the phone and Internet records of suspected terrorists. The bill will also make it more difficult for immigrants to enter this country if they're from areas with significant terrorist activity. This will help us stop terrorists before they have the chance to attack. Some organizations claiming to support civil liberties and immigrants' rights have criticized me for sponsoring this bill, but nobody should listen to anything they say. They apparently support terrorists having free access to our country! If you side with Americans and not terrorists, you will vote for my bill.

If morality represents the way we would like the world to work and economics represents how it actually does work, then the story of feldman’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 people—including feldman’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 smith’s first book, the theory of moral sentiments, was the innate honesty of mankind. “how selfish soever man may be supposed,” smith wrote, “there 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.” which best describes the authors’ purpose in using a quotation from adam smith’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
