Although the Founding Fathers wrote the U.S. Constitution to protect individual rights and property, one-third of adult Americans think the document contains the Karl Marx maxim that negates all rights to property: "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs." Only 31 percent of respondents were sure Marx’s words weren’t in the Constitution, while the remaining third didn’t know.

96. Economic Functions P1 lesson 4 WHAT ARE THE ECONOMIC FUNCTIONS OF GOVERNMENT? lesson DESCRIPTION The six economic functions of government are presented to students. http://ecedweb.unomaha.edu/lessons/fecga.htm

UNIT II: LESSON 4 LESSON 4 WHAT ARE THE ECONOMIC FUNCTIONS OF GOVERNMENT? INTRODUCTION In order to ensure and support economic free-dom as well as political freedom, the founders of our nation envisioned a very limited role for the government in economic affairs. In a market economy, such as the one established by our Constitution, most economic decisions are made by individual buyers and sellers, not by the government. Economists, however, identify six major functions of governments in market economies. Governments provide the legal and social framework, maintain competition, provide public goods and services, redistribute income, correct for externalities, and stabilize the economy. Citizens, interest groups, and political leaders disagree about how large a scope of activities the government should perform within each of these functions. Over time, as our society and economy have changed, government activities within each of these functions have expanded. OBJECTIVES Identify the six economic functions of government Classify examples of government actions and policies within various economic functions Identify and evaluate two different positions on the role of government in the economy LESSON DESCRIPTION The six economic functions of government are presented to students. Students categorize a series of newspaper headlines as examples of each of the six functions and locate additional examplesi n current newspapers and newsmagazines. The lesson concludes with a discussion of how limited the economic functions of government should be.
