The U.S. aggregate demand curve slopes downward due to all of the following reasons except the "government-spending effect, where a change in the price level affects government purchases".

AD describes the relationship between the total amount of required production (calculated as real GDP) and the level of the market (as the implied price deflator). The aggregate amount of goods and services offered at each price point is the number of the components of real GDP. There is a negative relationship between the amount of prices and the total quantity of goods and services provided, unchanged for everything else.
