1. Why did the Framers of the Constitution opt for a federal system rather than a unitary one? The experience with British rule had soured the Founders on the idea of one government with centralized and ultimate power. The new Americans did not care if tyranny came from a central government in America rather than from across the Atlantic—they wanted to make the potential for tyranny as remote as possible. In a federal system‚ both the states and the central government are sovereign within

Decentralization is the Key The indictment‚ international tribunal and formation of government have dominated the Lebanese’s concern lately.

This means that Stagelights can safely raise their prices and expect their quantity to have little effect. Stagelights needs to move its price elasticity to unitary‚ or one‚ to return the highest possible revenue. Currently‚ Stagelights marginal revenue is less than zero and they are on the decreasing side of the total revenue curve‚ due to the inelasticity. (See Figure 4) The income elasticity of the averages

Our Founding Fathers endeavored directing the harmonization of decree with liberty‚ albeit‚ with extreme caution‚ dividing authority amidst federal and state governments; responsive to both the colonial aversion and disappointment of confederacy. The division and blend of national authorities‚ and state‚ allowed for additional participation from citizens in government; the provision of mechanisms for the incorporation of new programs‚ policies‚ and defense against tyranny.

Nevertheless‚ the model has been criticised for being oversimplified‚ in particular when it suggests that both the STM and LTM each operate in a single‚ uniform fashion. For example‚ the working model of memory (Baddeley and Hitch‚ 1974) shows that the STM is more than just one simple unitary store‚
