Question

Which of these statements is TRUE?

A) Social institutions rarely work collaboratively to achieve social goals.
B) Separation of church and state prohibits any interaction between religion and government.
C) The government has the final authority to regulate the functions of all social institutions.
D) The functions of social institutions can overlap, such as when tax dollars go to public schools.

Answer 1

The correct answer is C, The government has the final authority to regulate the functions of all social institutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The government does not have such authority.

The government has a series of duties and limitations on its power so it doesn't stand in the way of people's liberties. Had the government authority on every social institution, it would be a totalitarian government.

The government's authority is limited because democracy demands so. In a democracy all power comes from the people and the government must work accordingly.
