There are 2 types of economics that are controlling American society. Supply side vs. Demand side. The concept of “supply side” was primarily dominant in Ronald Regan’s presidency. Its ideology is basically where taxes should be lowered so that people make investments into businesses that make more profit, and then give back to their investors. The more business, the more booming the economy will be. (Conservative)

The concept of “demand side” was predominant in FDR’s presidency. Its ideology says that the government should increase taxes, so that money can be saved and set aside for times of peril. When those times come, they can create jobs and give out money to aid the American people. (Safety Net)(Liberal)

The concept of demand side was, and still is, the "key"' for the U.S.' survival though the COVID-19 pandemic.

h. Balancing Individual Liberty & Government to Promote Stability

# data[].attributes.body
The United States was founded upon the ideals of “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” (9/3 Declaration of Independence) The rights of the American people are to be preserved and respected (1st Amendment); the government cannot revoke those rights. However, the people cannot be so rowdy, that they usurp power from the government. Therefore, the republic of this nation is very large to let the people fight against themselves through factions. Also, the government also has limits through checks and balances. (9/21 Federalist 51 Full-Text & Key Quotes slides)

The types of questions that are to be asked to citizens are meant to be neutral, so that people aren’t pressured or forced to be on either side. The wording attached to a question is very important to the way it is interpreted, so having the “perfect” question is important. Depending on the level of knowledge the person has about the subject can somewhat allude to the likely response they will give. Now, the attitude of the respondent can also affect the answers of a respondent. If they are judgmental and talk with their eyes, the respondent will most likely choose the response that allows them to not be judged.
