Question

1
which social problem is an example of what can happen when the rule of law breaks down?
○ a. police corruption
○ b. more homelessness
○ c. high unemployment
○ d. less health insurance

Explanation:

To determine the answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Police corruption occurs when law enforcement officials abuse their power, which is a direct result of the breakdown of the rule of law (as laws and regulations meant to prevent corruption are not enforced).
• Option B: Homelessness is more related to economic, social support, or housing policies, not directly to the rule of law breaking down.
• Option C: High unemployment is an economic issue related to job markets, business cycles, etc., not a direct consequence of rule of law breakdown.
• Option D: Less health insurance is related to healthcare policies, economic factors, or insurance industry regulations, not rule of law breakdown.

So, police corruption is an example of a social problem from rule of law breakdown.

Answer:

A. police corruption
