Question

You live in a big-city neighborhood in the 1890s. You and your brother are both looking for jobs. You know that the man down the street is the "ward boss". He can always get city jobs for his friends and neighbors. But in return you'll have to promise to vote the way he tells you to in the upcoming election.

Would you ask the ward boss for a job? Why or why not?

Answer 1

no, because even though I could possibly get a job faster, I would not get to vote the way I wanted. and the way he wants me to vote could differ from how I would normally vote.
