Classical Liberalism Source Analysis

The three sources presented all show in some way the effects of classical liberalism and how less government involvement could affect the people. The first source is a diagram of a tree with its trunk being labelled power and three branches saying legislative, judicial and executive. The trees root is labelled corporate interest and has other roots labelled voters and activists. This diagram is showing how corporate interest composed of the activists and the voters are the roots of a separate power constitution. The second source is showing a graph, that depicts how in Canada there is an small to medium gap in the amount a single person is taxed compared to that of a family,. For Sweden there is no gap between amounts taxed based on family

For Canada, single people have a 22.2 % wage where as a family has 15.5% wage. Single people in Canada based on this chart have a lower tax rate than that of a family.
