Freeway 405 in Los Angeles is constantly congested, causing traffic to move very slowly. Why would this freeway be considered a Tragedy of the Commons? a) The inability to exclude drivers from using the freeway causes it to be overused. b) The inability to exclude drivers from using the freeway eliminates the rivalry problem. c) The fact that some drivers choose to drive below the speed limit is a tragedy for all other drivers. d) The car pool lane is constantly being used by cars with no passengers.

a) The inability to exclude drivers from using the freeway causes it to be overused.

Explanation:

Due to the fact that the Freeway 405 is meant to be used mostly by the predestrains, its usuage by the motorists caused it to be constantly congested.

It is a tragedy to the commons (ordinary people ) as a result of the fact that, the government were unablr to restrict the drivers from using the freeway. This made life difficult for the common people due to the congestions which occurs daily on that freeway.

the fourth amendment protects:

"the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."  

so this would mean the denial to search and seizure without warrant or permission.
