Answer to Question 1

Social Security

Answer to Question 2

An ideal response will:
1, Define command-and-control policy as a system of regulation whereby government tells business how to reach certain goals, checks that these commands are followed, and punishes offenders.
2, Define an incentive system as an alternative to command-and-control that uses marketlike strategies such as rewards to manage public policy.
3, Take a position in support of one approach to regulation and explain the advantages of this approach over the other. For instance, a position in support of command-and-control might emphasize that the approach is more effective in preventing pollution and that incentives can require just as much bureaucratic oversight as command-and-control. A position in support of incentive systems might explain how this approach encourages innovation and achieves policy objectives more efficiently than command-and-control.
