Famous Quotes

"The rights of one man are diminished, when the rights of every man are threatened." John F. Kennedy

How far are you in your understanding? I can:

1.0: Write a factual statement (not definition) concerning CPL's.

2.0: In your own words (not the teacher's), define CPL's.

3.0: Name and explain a real Federal law that protects consumers (other than the example given above). (May require googling.)

4.0: (To be completed after all other 4.0's) Which Rights & Responsibilities have you not used as answers to being covered by the CPA, FDA and FTC? Based on those rights and responsibilities, identify how the CPSC (google it) helps ensure those rights and responsibilities.
