Answer to Question 1

1. Define deregulation as the efforts to remove government regulations on business and industries.
2. Identify key ways that deregulation would affect the economy. These include reducing reporting burdens on industries and lowering the cost of conducting business by reducing compliance costs.
3. Specify proponents of this position, which could include business interests and political conservatives.

Answer to Question 2

An ideal response will:
1. Outline the four important areas of federal labor regulation: public contracts, wages and hours, child labor, and industrial safety and occupational health.
2. Explain that federal regulations also protect employees' right to organize unions.
3. Refer to the Taft-Harley Act of 1947, which outlawed the closed shop, permitted the union shop, allowed courts to issue labor injunctions, and structured collective bargaining.
