Question

1. explain why expressive associations are allowed to limit membership. (p. 13) in one or two sentences, summarize the \big idea\ or main point of this study.

Explanation:

For the first question (Explain why expressive associations are allowed to limit membership):

Expressive associations (focused on expressing ideas/values like religious or ideological groups) can limit membership because the freedom of association (protected by rights like First Amendment in US) allows them to define their identity by including those who share their expressive goals and excluding those who don’t, as limiting membership helps preserve the group’s purpose and message.

To summarize a study's main point, identify its central topic (e.g., a theory, research finding, or argument) and the key conclusion or "big idea" it conveys, then condense it into one - two sentences. For example, if it's a study on social media's impact, the big idea might be "This study examines how social media use affects interpersonal relationships, concluding that it both enhances connection for some and creates isolation for others due to curated interactions." (adjust based on actual study content).

Answer:

Expressive associations may limit membership to preserve their core purpose (e.g., shared beliefs/values) and effectively express their ideas, as freedom of association protects their right to define their identity by including like - minded individuals.

For the "Sum it up" question (since the study context is not provided, a general approach to summarizing a study's big idea):
