In Folbre and Freeman, we see two "special cases" involving women workers. Explain Folbre’s argument about how household labor came to be excluded from the category "work." How did this affect women – and men?

They made a checks and balance system to equal power within the branches. the "check" meant that one branch would watch one branch and "balance" them if they were too powerful. if you want more info on this, i would just google checks and balance system.

Depends on your opinion but i agree
