Discuss the development of the Federal court system and show how John Marshall played a key role in its development and contributed to strengthening and defining  "federalism" in the United States by examining his significant rulings: Madison v. Marbury, McCulloch v. Maryland, Dartmouth College v. Woodward, and Gibbons vs. Ogen.

Discuss the democratic revolution that was to culminate during the presidency of Andrew Jackson. Also discuss his contributions to the development of the federal government and demonstrate his view of the presidency by using Jackson's attack on the Second Bank of the United States. Also discuss the sectional divisions that began to emerge in the "Age of Jackson".

Do you agree with the following arguments? Why?

a. Cambodia cannot find anything to export. There is no resource that is abundant—certainly not capital, and as a small country it is not even able to export labor-intensive good. Do you agree? Discuss.

b. Japanese labor productivity is roughly the same as that of the United States in the manufacturing sector (higher in some industries, lower in others), while the United States is considerably more productive in the service sector. But most services are nontraded. Some analysts argued that this poses a problem for the U.S. because its comparative advantage lies in things that cannot be sold on world markets.

A free trade equilibrium exists in which the United States exports machinery and imports clothing from the rest of the world. The goods are produced with two factors: capital and labor. An increase now occurs in the U.S. endowment of capital, its abundant factor.

A. What is the effect on the shape and position of the U.S. production possibility curve?

B. What is the effect on the actual production quantities in the United States if the commodity price ratio is unchanged? Explain.

C. What is the effect on the U.S. willingness to trade?

D. Assuming that, the U.S. growth does affect the international equilibrium price ratio, what is the change in this price ratio?

9.Executive Compensation Critics have charged that compensation to top managers in the United States is too high and should be cut back. For example, focusing on large corporations, Dara Khosrowshahi (now at Uber, formerly of Expedia) has been one of the best-compensated CEOs in the United States, earning about $95 million in 2016. Are such amounts excessive? In answering, it might be helpful to recognize that superstar athletes such as Cristiano Ronaldo, top earners in the entertainment field such as James Cameron and Oprah Winfrey, and many others at the top of their respective fields earn at least as much, if not a great deal more

Assume that the population of Mexico is 128 million and that the population increases 1.01 percent annually. Assume that the population of the United States is 323 million and that the population is reduced 0.15 percent annually. Write an application that displays the populations for the two countries every year until the population of Mexico exceeds that of the United States, and display The population of Mexico will exceed the U.S. population in X years.

the answer should look something like this: they want multiple answers. there is a pattern

Question 2

Let μ denote the average score on a standardized test for all children in a certain region of the United States. The average score for all children in the United States is 100. Regional education authorities are interested in testing H 0: μ = 100 versus H a: μ > 100 using a significance level of 0.01. A sample of 2500 children resulted in the values n = 2500, x ¯ = 101, s = 15.

Question 3

Let μ denote the average score on a standardized test for all children in a certain region of the United States. The average score for all children in the United States is 100. Regional education authorities are interested in testing H 0: μ = 100 versus H a: μ > 100 using a significance level of 0.01. A sample of 2500 children resulted in the values n = 2500, x ¯ = 101, s = 15.

Based on the p-value, what would be your conclusion regarding the hypothesis test?

Group of answer choices

Reject the null hypothesis and the test is insignificant.

Reject the null hypothesis and the test is significant

Accept the null hypothesis and the test is insignificant.

The Fiscal situation in the United States and in other countries

            From the FRED economic database at the Federal reserve bank of St. Louis, you can retrieve two series: General Government Gross Debt of the United States (GGGDTAUSA188N) and a measure of the primary deficit of all governments in the United States (USAGGXONLBGDP). These are measures that incoroporate all levels of government. This data are constructed by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Using data from the IMF or other international organizations helps make a better comparison across countries. The data are often presented in a less political way.

What is the ratio of debt to GDP in the United States in the latest year of this data? Describe the path of this variable in the last decade?

What is the change in the ratio of debt to GDP in the last year of the data? Can the debt to GDP ratio fall even if the primary deficit is positive?

Use the information on the change in debt to GDP ratio and the primary deficit ratio to infer the missing term in the equation (22.5) in the last year of the data. Did your calculation make sense to you?

Similar data are constructed for all countries. A convenient source that compares the fiscal situation for the overall government sector in the G7 countries is published by Canada’s Department of Finance in a document called the “Fiscal Reference Tables.” The section titled International Fiscal comparisons at the end of the document presents the most recent data. Which large economy has the highest and lowest ratio of gross debt to GDP? Which country has the highest and lowest deficit as a percent of GDP? Are these overall deficits or primary deficits.

Reducing Health Disparities

In 2011, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published the first CDC Health Disparities and Inequalities Report (CHDIR). This report examined health disparities in the United States associated with various characteristics, including race/ethnicity, sex, income, education, disability status, and geography.

Among other recommendations, the 2011 CHDIR emphasized the need to address health disparities with a dual intervention strategy that focuses on populations at greatest need and improves the health of the general population by making interventions available to everyone.

Create a 4- to 5-page Microsoft Word document that addresses the following:

Compare the patterns of the major diseases of Hispanic/Latino groups and their rates and health effects between the other racial or ethnic groups living in the United States.

Identify at least one consequence that a lack of access to healthcare has on Hispanics/Latinos.

Explain why access to care issues will need to be monitored even more closely within the U.S. healthcare system beginning 2014.

Find at least two scholarly journal articles that discuss all or at least one of the topic areas related to Hispanic/Latino health disparities in the United States. Provide a synopsis of each article.

Explain what type of barrier(s) (structural, financial, or socio-cultural) each article examines? Describe at least two policies or strategies that can be implemented to improve access to healthcare services as they relate to the articles you reviewed.
