The correct answer to the question: Which of the following is not a main priority of the U. S government, would be, A: Subsidizing businesses to keep product prices low.

Explanation:

One of the principles on which government is based in the U. S, is that the government will not intervene directly, on the way that businesses, prices, and the economy runs, by intervening prices, or subsidizing businesses. The principle is that the economy, the market itself, will do that, control and manage the pricing process. Thus, it is not necessary for the government to intervene, and it would be considered unnecessary and even not viewed well by the American public.

Creating laws that protect property rights and enforce contracts

Explanation:

National defense and providing education are part of some Constitutional rights of citizens that must be kept by the government. The government also does subside businesses to keep products prices low or avoid high volatility of price, such as of agriculture for the production of meat, corn and dairy products, oil industry or housing and vehicles.

Now creating laws that protect property rights and enforce contracts are also a Constitutional rights of American citizens.

But accordingly with Gallup's annual Mood of the Nation survey in 2014 "Economy, Education and Safety were on top of the Government priority. " leaving then this option "creating laws that protect property rights and enforce contracts" out of the priority of U. S government.
