Question

What is the purpose of labor laws?

A. To protect consumers
ОО
B. To reduce government power
C. To protect workers
ОО
D. To keep prices low

Answer 1

C

Step-by-step explanation:

A: not the answer. There are other laws that protect the consumer -- things like warrantees.

B: This is the answer that you can eliminate almost immediately. Labor laws protect those who work and are employed. There is a long history of how those who worked in coal mines were mercilessly taken advantage of. Nothing in the labor laws reduces government size.

D: Not the answer. In a true capitalist system, prices are controlled by the market -- the balance between those wanting to buy and those wanting to sell. The labor laws have nothing to do with this process.

C: This is your answer. The labor laws protect those who receive a salary for what they do.
