A text box reads, If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary ... the great difficulty lies in this, you must first enable the government to control the governed, and in the next place oblige it to control itself. - James Madison, Federalist No. 51 © 2013 FLVS

Based on the quote, which of the following statements would James Madison support?

The power of the federal government should be unlimited to ensure public safety.
The power of the federal government should be limited to protect people's rights.
The federal government should limit individual rights whenever it thinks necessary.
The federal government should reconsider the list of individual rights once a year.

It is widely assumed that people need to engage in intellectual activities such as solving crossword puzzles or mathematics problems in order to maintain mental sharpness as they age. in fact, however, simply talking to other people—that is, participating in social interaction, which engages many mental and perceptual skills—suffices. evidence to this effect comes from a study showing that the more social contact people report, the better their mental skills. which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the force of the evidence cited? (a) as people grow older, they are often advised to keep exercising their physical and mental capacities in order to maintain or improve them. (b) many medical conditions and treatments that adversely affect a person's mental sharpness also tend to increase that person's social isolation. (c) many people are proficient both in social interactions and in solving mathematical problems. (d) the study did not itself collect data but analyzed data bearing on the issue from prior studies. (e) the tasks evaluating mental sharpness for which data were compiled by the study were more akin to mathematics problems than to conversation.
