Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage: \@ZD.d#
Blackmail may be defined as the sale of information to an individual who would be incriminated by its publication, and at first glance it appears to be an efficient method of private enforcement of the law (the moral as well as the positive law). The value of the information to the blackmailed individual is equal to the cost of the punishment that the individual will incur if the information is communicated to the authorities and he is punished as a result, and so he will be willing to pay up to that amount to blackmailer for the information. The individual is thereby punished, and the punishment is the same as if he had been apprehended and convicted for the crime that the blackmailer has discovered, but the fine is paid to the blackmailer rather than to the state. P6^\*xkMr
Why, then, is blackmail a crime? One scholar’s answer is that it results in underdeterrence of crimes punished by nonpecuniary sanctions because the criminals lack the resources to pay an optimal fine. The blackmailer will sell his information to the criminal for a price lower than the cost of punishment if the criminal cannot pay a higher price. A more persuasive explanation of why blackmail follows directly from the decision to rely on a public monopoly of law enforcement it some areas of enforcement, notably criminal law. Were blackmail, a form of private enforcement, lawful, the public monopoly of enforcement would be undermined. Overenforcement of the law would result if the blackmailer were able to extract the full fine from the offender. Alternatively, the blackmailer might sell his incriminating information to the offender for a price lower than the statutory cost of punishment to the criminal, which would reduce the effective cost of punishment to the criminal below the level set by the legislature. This problem, however, could be solved by a system of public bounties equal to the cost of punishment (or lower, to induce the enforcement industry to contract to optimal size). Then the blackmailer could always claim a bounty from the state if the criminal was unable to pay a price equal to the optimal fine. wjI
D*s[
Consistent with this analysis, Axel’s studies show that practices indistinguishable from blackmail, though not called by that name, are permitted in areas where the law is enforced privately rather than publicly because the overenforcement problem is not serious. No one seems to object to a person’s collecting information about his or her spouse’s adulterus activities and threatening to disclose that information in a divorce proceeding or other forum in order to extract maximum compensation for the offending spouse’s breach of the marital obligations. J{uqbrJICr
Blackmail and bribery appear to be virtually identical practices from the standpoint of the analysis of private enforcement. The blackmailer and the bribed official both receive payment in exchange for not enforcing the law. We therefore predict that in areas where there is a public monopoly of enforcement, bribery, like blackmail, will be prohibited, while in areas where there is no public monopoly, it will be permitted. And so we observe. The settlement out of court of negligence claims is a form of perfectly lawful bribery, although the term is not used in these situations because of its pejorative connotation. %

Questions 66 to 70 are based on the following passage: a:
OuDjFp
It is not easy to describe the present position of legal opinion on advertising and free speech. Only a poet can capture the essence of chaos. Nor is it easy to foresee how things will develop. Lacking any rationale for the First Amendment, with the courts depending on time-honored slogans to sustain conclusions, there is no obvious resting place, from the moment the slogans cease to work their magic. At the present time, the courts are tending to bring a greater proportion of advertising within the protection of the First Amendment. And cases now proceeding through the courts, such as the litigation concerning what egg producers can say about heart disease and cholesterol or what can be said about margarine in advertisements, will undoubtedly continue the process. Where will it end? [E%Ov0OC
Some legal writers have sought to treat First Amendment rights as being, in some sense, absolute and have objected to what is termed the “balancing” by the courts of there rights against others. But such “balancing” is inevitable if judges must direct their attention to the general welfare. Freedom to speak and write is bound to be restricted when exercise of these freedoms prevents the carrying out of other activities that people value. Thus is it reasonable that First Amendment freedoms should be curtailed when they impair the enjoyment of life (privacy), inflict great damage on others (slander and libel), are disturbing (privacy), destroy incentives to carry out useful work (copyright), create dangers for society (sedition and national security), or the offensive and corrupting (obscenity)? The determination of the boundaries to which a doctrine can be applied is not likely to come about in a very conscious way. But it is through recognition of the fact that fights should be assigned to those to whom they are most valuabie that such boundaries come to be set. It is only in recent years that there has been any serious consideration of the relation of advertising to freedom of speech and of writing. Now that the value of advertising in providing information has been accepted, it seems improbable that it will long be thought that this is true only for price advertising. And the action of the Federal Trade Commission in treating prohibitions by professional associations of advertising by their members as anticompetitive will bring greater awareness of the informational role of advertising. Similarly, the many studies of the failures of government regulatory agencies that have been made in recent years are bound to make the courts somewhat reluctant to expand and more willing to take advantage of opportunities to contract the regulation of advertising. Where will it end? It seems likely that the law will be interpreted to allow the Federal Trade Commission to continue to regulate false and deceptive advertising, but with greater freedom for what can be said in advertising than now exists, and with somewhat diminished powers for the various government agencies that regulate advertising. p8u-3
