How does opportunity cost affect people's wants and needs?(1 point)
Opportunity cost refers to the concept that when people make choices, they have to give up alternative options. This means that by choosing one option, they are forgoing the benefits or satisfaction that would have come from choosing another option. Therefore, opportunity cost influences people's wants and needs by making them prioritize and consider the value of different alternatives. They may choose the option that provides the greatest benefit or satisfaction, based on their needs and priorities, while acknowledging the opportunity cost of not choosing other alternatives.

How does a federal system differ from a unitary system?(1 point)
In a federal system, power is divided between a central government and regional/local governments. Each level of government has its own set of powers and responsibilities, and they both coexist and exert authority over the same territory and population. The central government typically possesses powers related to national defense, foreign affairs, and overall governance, while the regional/local governments have powers over local matters such as education, healthcare, and transportation.
On the other hand, in a unitary system, power is concentrated in a single central government, which holds authority over the entire territory and population. Regional or local governments exist, but their powers and responsibilities are delegated by the central government, which can also revoke or modify them at any time. The central government in a unitary system has the ultimate decision-making power and can enforce its policies throughout the country.
The key difference between a federal system and a unitary system is the distribution and division of powers between the central government and the regional/local governments.
