Answer: An ideal response will:

2. Specify and explain two regulations, including the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978 and the 1994 Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act, which was one of several deregulatory acts that contributed to the subprime mortgage crisis that began in 2007.
