Today, you're going to reflect on the laws that directly or indirectly affect your choices as an individual. There are many ways that this happens, so you don't need to cover everything you can think of. For this writing, focus on a few that directly affect you most directly in your daily life. Try to answer the following questions as you write. 1) What law directly affects your economic choices?
2) How does this law change your behavior as a consumer, worker, or producer?
3) Do you want this law changed? Why or why not?
4) Are there any other existing laws that you don't think should be imposed upon citizens? What effect would lifting these restrictions have on individuals and society?
