Individual Rights and the Obligations of Government Prepare: Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read chapters 8, 9, and 10 in American Government and watch the video, Episode II - It’s a Free Country . Reflect: Our political system is characterized by certain fundamental features to include a system of laws, rights, and liberties. The laws, created and supported by the Constitutional framework, are designed to protect and secure the rights and liberties of individuals and groups throughout the U.S. However, the government also has an obligation to provide for the security of its citizens from serious internal and external threats that could cause grave or severe damage to our country. The need for homeland and national security can create a dilemma where conflicts emerge between these security needs and the demands for civil rights and liberties. Write: In your initial post, explain what obligations the U.S. government has towards its citizens and how can these obligations impact individual and group rights? Provide real-world examples to support your explanation. Fully respond to all parts of the prompt and write your response in your own words. Your initial response must be 200 to 250 words. Support your position with APA citations to two or more of the assigned resources required for this discussion. Please be sure that you demonstrate understanding of these resources, integrate them into your argument, and cite them properly. Respond to Peers: By Day 7, respond to at least two of your classmates' initial posts. Your peer responses should be 75 to 100 words each. As your reply to your classmates, attempt to take the conversation further by examining their claims or arguments in more depth or responding to the posts that they make to you. Keep the discussion on target and try to analyze things in as much detail as you can. For instance, you might consider if your classmate’s arguments are well supported with valid sources and logically argued. Week Four Reflection Prepare: Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read chapters 8, 9, and 10 in American Government , watch the video, Episode II - It’s a Free Country , and review your results from the Political Typology Quiz. Reflect: Political parties mobilize voters to win elections and implement policy goals. Parties use their stated policy goals (i.e., their platforms) as a way to mobilize voter support. Generally, in order to be successful in a two-party system, parties must have policy goals across a broad range of issue areas to appeal to a broad range of voters. Write: Identify oneissue area that you want investigate. Use the assigned resources required for this discussion to gather information about the goals and proposals, in that issue area, of three U.S. political parties – the Democratic and Republican parties and a third party. Summarize each of the three parties’ policy goals in your issue area. Evaluate each party's goals from two perspectives: Accord.

Assignment #1 Voting and Voter Turnout Voting and Voter Turnout Prepare: Prior to completing this discussion question, review Chapters 9 and 10 in American Government and the following articles: “ How Voter ID Laws Are Being Used to Disenfranchise Minorities and the Poor ,” “ Fraught with Fraud ,” and “ Proof at the Polls .” Reflect: The U.S. has one of the lowest voter turnout rates among modern democratic political systems. One study ranks the U.S. 120th on a list of 169 nations compared on voter turnout (Pintor, Gratschew, & Sullivan, 2002). During the last decade, many initiatives have been undertaken to increase voter participation, yet concerns about the possibility of election fraud have also increased. Additionally, some political interests feel threatened by the increase in turnout among some traditionally low-turnout ethnic minorities. Several states have recently passed legislation imposing new registration and identification requirements. This has sparked debate about whether these are tactics intended to suppress turnout or to prevent fraud. Write: In your initial post, summarize recent developments in several states enacting voter ID laws. Analyze and describe the pros and cons on both sides of the debate about these laws. Is voter fraud a major problem for our democracy or are some groups trying to make it harder for some segments of society to vote? Draw your own conclusion about the debate over voter ID laws. Justify your conclusions with facts and persuasive reasoning. Fully respond to all parts of the question and write your response in your own words. Your initial post must be 200 to 250 words. Support your position with APA citations from two or more of the assigned resources required for this discussion. Please be sure that you demonstrate understanding of these resources, integrate them into your argument, and cite them properly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Assignment # 2 Week Five Reflection Week Five Reflection Prepare: Prior to beginning your reflection, review all course readings and videos as required. Reflect: The U.S. national government is based on the framework detailed in the U.S. Constitution. The process that the Founding Fathers used to map out our national government is fascinating and illuminating. The Constitution creates a system of checks and balances and separation of powers that have been focal points for class discussions. In addition, the Constitution identifies three main branches for the national government: the legislative, executive, and judicial, which are tasked, respectively, with the creation of the legislation to guide the country, the implementation and execution of that legislation, and the review of that legislation for constitutionality and legality. Interacting with the federal government includes a variety of different actors and political processes such a.

Review Figure 1.3, "Individualism as a value in the United States compared to other democracies." Why do you believe people in America respond so differently to this question than do people in other, Western European, countries? 2. After reading the text in the box, "The More Things Change, The More They Stay The Same: The Continuing Call to the Federalist Papers" in Chapter 2, do you believe the Federalist Papers are still relevant for understanding the U.S. Constitution? 3. The Bill of Rights was intended to protect certain fundamental rights for all citizens against actions of the national government.

Discussion 2 Choose ONE of the following questions to answer in the Discussion Board: 1. Review Figure 6.1, "Confidence in Congress." Why do you believe Congress receives such a low confidence rating? 2. Do you believe the committee system in Congress is beneficial to the law-making process? Why or why not? 3.

Review the text box in Chapter 7, "The More Things Change, The More They Stay The Same: Foreign Policy Successes That Boosted Young President." Do you believe the President's foreign policy powers should be dominant and he should have exclusive control over foreign relations, or do you believe Congress should play more of a role in these affairs? 3. Understanding the manner in which cabinet appointees are selected and the role that they serve, do you believe that they should primarily support and advocate for the policy positions of the President, or do you think that they should have more independence in expressing their opinions and making decisions regarding their department? Discussion 4 Choose ONE of the following questions to answer in the Discussion Board: 1. If politics and legal issues are so often intertwined, should the composition of the Court include seasoned politicians as well as career jurists? 2.

Class, the instructions for these Controversy assignments almost always ask for multiple references. Please be sure you go beyond one or two references in completing these assignments. For example, this week's instructions give you two references, but adds "along with resources from your own research...," meaning you should have at least three. Be sure you're doing enough research to earn full credit. Also, I recommend reprinting the questions from the assignment onto your paper at the beginning of your answers, so that you can refer to them while you're typing, and so you'll be sure you're answering the questions asked. This week's environmental controversy focuses on the question: should Immigration into the US be reduced? Review the background information. Then, using the References along with resources from your own research, write a 2 page response to the questions that follow. Remember to cite your sources using proper APA format. Background Information Legal and illegal immigration into the United States is discussed in your textbook. Advocates of liberal immigration argue that both legal and illegal immigrants are needed to perform difficult and low paying jobs that most citizens won't take. Advocates also sympathize with immigrants because many of them are fleeing poverty and tyranny in their homelands. Immigrants pay taxes, help to support the US social security system, and contribute to American society. Opponents of immigration include individuals that want to ban or significantly reduce all immigration, and those that simply want more stringent efforts to end illegal immigration. Opponents argue that current immigration policies and border patrol methods are too lenient and allow terrorists to infiltrate into the US. References Two short articles identified below have very different views on the impacts of illegal immigration on state economies. Use these references along with resources from your own research to help answer the questions that follow. Seper, J. (n.d.). Illegal aliens cost California billions. Washington Times, The (DC) , Retrieved April 14, 2009, from EBSCO MegaFILE database. Link to article Hoyt, J. (2004, May 10). Why business should speak out on immigrant workers. Crain's Chicago Business , 27 (19), 11-11. Retrieved April 14, 2009, from Regional Business News database. Link to article Questions How do the views presented in the articles differ? How does illegal immigration both hurt and help state economies? Do you feel that the author's of these two articles are ignoring each others side, or is it possible that the Illinois economy is simply better equipped to absorb illegal immigration? Before answering this final question make sure to consider the affiliations of the authors. This paper should be 2 pages of complete content (cover page and reference page are separate) and have in-text citations. The paper will be in APA style (both in formatting the paper and reference page). One scholar.

During the last decade, many initiatives have been undertaken to increase voter participation, yet concerns about the possibility of election fraud have also increased. Additionally, some political interests feel threatened by the increase in turnout among some traditionally low-turnout ethnic minorities. Several states have recently passed legislation imposing new registration and identification requirements. This has sparked debate about whether these are tactics intended to suppress turnout or to prevent fraud. Write: In your initial post, summarize recent developments in several states enacting voter ID laws. Analyze and describe the pros and cons on both sides of the debate about these laws. Is voter fraud a major problem for our democracy or are some groups trying to make it harder for some segments of society to vote? Draw your own conclusion about the debate over voter ID laws. Justify your conclusions with facts and persuasive reasoning. Fully respond to all parts of the question and write your response in your own words. Your initial post must be 200 to 250 words. Support your position with APA citations from two or more of the assigned resources required for this discussion. Please be sure that you demonstrate understanding of these resources, integrate them into your argument, and cite them properly. Respond to Peers: By Day 7, respond to at least two of your classmates' initial posts. Your peer responses should be 75 to 100 words each. They must demonstrate critical thinking. For example, compare your post to a classmate’s post that takes a contrary position. If you are arguing voter fraud is a major problem then contrast your argument to a classmate that argues voter ID laws are designed to suppress voting, or vice versa. Respond .
