Why can't we solve our disputes through simple bargaining all the time? What factors
undermine bargaining in different settings? What can people or governments do to help
solve disputes despite
these factors? - ANSWER -We can't solve through simple bargaining all the time
because in order for it to work each party must be realistic in their expectations, and
often times one party will be unrealistic and simply cannot see the downside to a long,
drawn-out resolution process.
-Often does not result in a single "winner" but is a compromise. Some people simply feel
that they must win; that they must be proven right. Thus, the process drags on so that an
ego can be satisfied (or deflated, depending on the outcome).
-Lack of coordination undermines bargaining
What sorts of institutions are commonly used to manage conflicts in societies? What are
some examples of where these institutions have failed? - ANSWER The court system
and Congress are examples of commonly used institutions to manage conflicts but
government shutdowns and Shay's Rebellion showed the government's inability to
maintain peace and order
In what ways are challenges to today's government a consequence of collective action
problems? - ANSWER -Coordination problems increase with the size of the group
-Quartet versus symphony orchestra
-House of Representatives versus Senate

may generally be unachievable
In what ways is the parliamentary system of representative government designed to
work with fewer transaction costs than the U.S. presidential system? - ANSWER -In a
presidential system, the executive and legislative branches are separate
-Separation of powers contained in the U.S. Constitution imposes higher transaction
,costs than in parliamentary government
What are some examples of public and private goods? - ANSWER Private Goods: cars,
clothing, food, electronics
Public Goods: air, national defense, parks, military, highways
What does it mean for a government to be a republic? - ANSWER Republican form is

Week 2 - ANSWER Week 2

with the constitutional system of the U.S.? - ANSWER
What steps were taken to construct a national government before the Articles of
Confederation? What resulted from these steps? - ANSWER Americans learned from
the British that the legislature in charge of the money could dominate the other
governmental institutions
What is the Articles of Confederation (1777) and what were the problems with it? How
does the Constitution address these issues? - ANSWER Nation's 1st Constitution: The
document that created the 1st central government for the United States; replaced by
the Constitution in 1789
Does not have the power to:
-Regulate trade
-Draft troops
-Had no executive or judicial branch
, -Enforce its laws
-Regulate commerce between states
-All states had to agree before the Articles could be changed
-Nothing was said about education & enforcement
-States' had militias but had to clothe & arm them themselves
-State & National government didn't mix
-Each state had 1 vote in Congress
-BIGGEST ISSUE: Congress could request that states' levy taxes but couldn't levy itself
How were decisions made under the Articles of Confederation? What sorts of decisions
were not made by the confederation? How did this system affect the war effort? How did
it affect the conduct of the national and state governments once the war was over? -
ANSWER In order to pass any new law, delegates from at least 9/13 states had to
approve it. Often, not enough delegates were present to vote. Even when enough
delegates were present, they rarely agreed, since no state wanted to be under the
control of the other states. If the delegates approved a law, Congress still did not have
the power to enforce it.
Why is the Electoral College so complicated? - ANSWER -The Electoral College was
concerned with giving too much power to the lower class. Small states worried that
larger states would have more power in determining the presidency
-It was complicated to "to avoid tumult and disorder" and to ensure states matter; states
chose how electors were picked (popularity vote)
How did the Framers balance the powers and independence of the executive and
legislative branches? - ANSWER -Virginia Plan: 2 chambers that was based on state
population
-New Jersey Plan: 1 house with equal representation for each state regardless of size
-Great Compromise: 2 houses with representation of population and equal
representation of population: Senate & the House of Rep.
-Executive power: originally wanted executive to be elected for life, but moved to
