(TCO 2)
As we have
been
discussing,
throughout
history,
many
people
were not
fans of
pure
democracy.
One of the
reasons for
this was
the idea of
factions, as
addressed
in
Madison’s
Federalist
No. 10. So
what is the
definition
of a
faction?
(TCO 2)
Why are
factions a
threat to a
democratic
government?

Assess
Madison’s
argument.
Do you find
that a
republican
form of
government
is the best

factions, in
contrast to
pure
democracy?
And how
do you
think this
system has
worked in
controlling
the factions
over time?

your
initial,
nonlegal,
thoughts
on this
case? How
would you
decide it
based on
your own
belief
structures?
For
example,
if you
9. were the
judge in
this case,
would you
would
allow Mr.
Trident to
leave the
hospital,
thus
bringing
about his
death? Or
would you

Mr.
Trident
but side
with the
hospital
because he
clearly is
not in the
right mind
to make
such
decisions
for
himself?
Or would
you
perhaps
side with
the
hospital
because
people
should not
be allowed
to refuse
medical
treatment
or go to
the
extreme of
ordering
10. the
hospital to
aid in the
shortening
of his life
so that he
did not
have to
suffer a
painful
death?
What
would you
do? Please

sentences

POLI 330 Week 7 TCO Assessment
(TCO 9) As
the simulation
shows,
Muhammed’s
father was
killed by the
Israelis in
their war of
independence,
as they
15. attempted to
defend their
state and
enforce the
boundaries
established by
the UN.
Although this
was an
international
decree, all
Muhammed
witnessed was
his father’s
death and the
loss of his
family home
as the land of
his forefathers
was taken to
make room
for what
many
Palestinians
viewed as the
“occupiers.”
If you were
him, how
would you
react? For
example,
would you
blame the
Israelis for
hurting your
father and
taking your
land, and then
pass on this
hatred to your
children so
they would
know never to
trust the
Israelis?
Would you
16. seek revenge
for your
family and
people? Or is
there a chance
that you
would accept
the new
conditions of
the UN
resolution
because it was
in the best
interest of the
people of the
world? What
about simply
seeking
strength in
your religion
and guiding
your children
away from the
hatreds of the
past in an
effort to
protect them?
Please put
some thought
into your
answer and
provide at
least 4–5
sentences as
you explain it.
(TCO 9)
Within the
Israeli home,
Ben knows
from the
horrors faced
by his parents
what can
happen when
there is not a
17. state of Israel
in the world.
He thus
supports his
state and will
do anything
to defend its
claim to this
region. How
does this
differ from
Muhammed’s
stance?
(TCO 9)
What do
Muhammed
and Ben
have in
common?

the cycle
of
violence
in this
land if

radically
changes?

has the
violence in
this land had
