Read the excerpt from levitt and dubner's freakonomics. 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?

In a sense we’ve come to our nation’s capital to cash a check. when the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the constitution and the declaration of independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every american was to fall heir. this note was a promise that all men—yes, black men as well as white men—would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. it is obvious today that america has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. instead of honoring this sacred obligation, america has given the negro people a bad check, a check that has come back marked “insufficient funds.” but we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. we refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. and so we’ve come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and security of justice. in this section of the speech, analyze martin luther king’s connection between a defaulted promissory note and the lack of freedom experienced by african americans. which option offers the best analysis? question 3 options: a. mlk creates this analogy to communicate that america has enough freedom for all, but it needs to live up to its promises. b. mlk makes the analogy that america has run out of freedom. not everyone deserves to have it. c. mlk communicates that america should equally distribute funds to all citizens. everyone deserves equal access to the government’s money. d. mlk demonstrates that america is improving in equality and should keep the forward momentum.
