Question

Some conservatives believe that a large central government _____.

a. harms economic growth
b. undermines public welfare programs
c. encourages too much individual choice
d. promotes industrialization

Answer 1

harms economic growth

Step-by-step explanation:

In the conservative view, the government should intervene as little as possible in the economy. Consequently, for this aspect, the leaner the central government, the better. In the view of the conservatives, the large central state produces inefficiency by intervening excessively in the economy, so as to undermine economic growth. Thus, this political ideology believes in the market economy, where the state is little active, its role is only to regulate the economic environment.

Answer 2

Some conservatives believe that a large central government "a. harms economic growth" since this involves government regulation of business, but not all conservatives think this way.
