In this case, optimal consumer decision-making is heavily hampered by information asymmetries. Individual consumers have neither the capacity nor the intention to fully ensure, or determine the safety of their food, which is why they not only need, ...

Part one: Congress

The Congress still remains important in the United States of America. However, the paper grudgingly acknowledges that the role and importance of Congress has faded and cannot be compared to the original one. It is the paper contention that Congress has a clear and essential role to play especially in light of checks and balances on the Federal Government led by the presidency and his executive members. In addition, Congress suffices to protect and champion for the special interests of the states at the national policy level. Consequently, Congress is important and still needs to be retained in the American ...

The legalization of marijuana has been a very controversial case for decades, with strong arguments on either side. For most of the 20th century and beyond, it has been illegal in the United States and other countries, turning its sale and usage into a vast underground market that has gone untapped by any professional outlet.
