Answer 1

1) Fractional reserve banking — it speeds lending and the flow of money (investment and wages).

2) Restriction of underage workers to 20 hours per week — that is a labor law.

3) Protect the poor — price ceilings are typically enacted to make necessities more affordable.

4) Reduce crime — freezing assets is used to prevent criminal use of funds.

5) Residential zoning ordinance — that is a land‑use law.

6) Exploitation of natural resources — environmental laws limit that.

7) Higher prices — environmental regulations typically raise production costs, leading to higher prices.
