HIS 100 Topic Exploration Worksheet Part 1 Select a research topic area for Project 1 based on which of the following areas interests you the most. You will explore the selected topic a little later in this theme. Mark your selection in the right-hand column. Topic Selection Drafting of the U.S. Constitution x Mao Zedong’s Rule Over China South African Apartheid Choose Your Own Topic (insert pre-approved topic here) In the space below, replace the bracketed text with a short paragraph about what you already knew prior to this course about the topic you selected, based on your personal history or experiences. This may include assumptions, beliefs, or values related to the topic. Be as detailed as possible. The drafting of the U.S. Constitution began on 5/25/1787 when the Constitutional Convention met for the first time in Pennsylvania. The Convention ended on 9/17/1787. The Constitution was made of seven articles, twenty-seven amendments, and the major Principles of Government embodied in the Constitution. It is signed eleven years after the Declaration of Independence. It is not one of the founding documents of America. This important document guaranteed basic rights for every citizen. One of the most remembered amendments is the thirteenth due to the abolish of slavery. Part 2 Now that you have identified your topic and described what you already know about the topic, what questions do you still have about the topic? Replace the bracketed text with your answers. Question Response Identify one question about the topic that you are curious about. Why was the Constitution written? Describe why this question matters to you personally. It affects my right of freedom of speech and the right to vote. I can go to any church I choose. I can also own a firearm. Describe why this question matters to society. It dived power among the government and the states. Identify a second question about the topic you are curious about. Should the President of the United States have absolute power? Describe why this question matters to you personally. This would matters to me personally because if the President has complete control then he would have control over our electronic communications; including financial records. Describe why this question matters to society. The U.S. is in Danger. Insufficient government. Institutional reform is the challenge and the nation’s success in meeting it will determine out future as a nation. Part 3 You are now ready to complete the final part of your Topic Exploration Worksheet. You have chosen a topic, posed some research questions, and are ready to start thinking about what kind of sources you will need to investigate your research questions further. Using the library guide in the Shapiro Library provided for your chosen topic, skim through the suggested resources (or find your own) and replace the bracketed text with relevant information about your research questions. Question Response Which secondary sources woul.

Response one pol-05Based on the look of the present Congress it .docx

ronak56

Response one pol-05 Based on the look of the present Congress it appears that there are at least 42 different committees. While some of these committees appear to be unique to either the House or the Senate there are overlapping committees such as the Armed Services, Budget and Intelligence committees. Although, Congressional committees are headed by the party that is currently in power of that respective house. In the current case, the Republican Party controls both and the majority on the committees is Republican (Congressional Committees). By having all committees controlled by the same party tends to lead to lesser independence for Congressional committees. The party polarization that exist in present day politics and is evident in the composition of Congress also tends lead to Congressional committees want to pass legislation onto either the House or the Senate that benefits the ideals of the party in power. To get a better understanding of the lesser independence when one party controls Congress we can look simple at the fact that the number of constitutional hearings is less during a unified Congress than when they are divided. For example, when the House has been unified between the years of 1970 to 2009 there have been on average two less constitutional hearing (Devins 2011). Additionally, while there was a change in the 1970s that resulted in reforms of the committees and provided more power to the chairs and leaders of the political parties it affected how policy could passed through Congressional committees. The creation of lesser independence due to the increased party polarization has led to a system where when a major controls both policy that is designed to benefit a certain group may or may not be passed based on party affiliation (Pearson 2009). By seeing the affects that party polarization has had on Congressional committees it would almost appear that having greater independence with the committees could potential lead to policies and bills that benefit a larger group being passed onto the Congressional floors. Furthermore, the redundancy of committees in both the House and Senate seem to prevent greater independence. This could primarily be to blame when one party controls all of Congress. An example this could be the House Appropriations committee seeking to allocate funds for the Department of Defense and based on the control the House at this time the committee is going to be heavily influenced by that party. Then, if the same party controls the Senate Appropriations committee the ideas of the less party in getting appropriations set aside that could either benefit or hinder the Department of Defense are ignored. Having greater independence and not having that specific influence from party polarization would generate better discussion and the potential for appropriations being allocated that are more potentially beneficial than not.

Constrained PowersIf you have not done so already, you probably ar.docx

aidaclewer

Constrained Powers If you have not done so already, you probably are beginning to realize that the Constitution is somewhat vague in defining the powers of the executive and legislative branches. As a result, there is a lot of room for interpretation. Just as the courts interpret constitutional provisions to come to decisions about conflicts, presidents and Congress also interpret constitutional provisions to determine their breadth of power. In some cases, their interpretation is broad and they overstep their bounds. In such cases, the courts get involved. Sometimes, the courts validate the president’s or Congress’s interpretation of their powers. Other times, the courts constrain their powers. In this week’s readings, you look at several examples in which the courts constrained the powers of the president and Congress. To prepare for this Discussion: Review the Constitution in Appendix E in the course text, Administrative Law and Politics: Cases & Comments. Reflect on the powers of the executive and legislative branches. Review the article, “Nixon's Shadow.” Consider how the courts constrained President Nixon’s executive privilege powers. Review the article, “Presidential Power and the United States Supreme Court.” Reflect on how presidential power is limited by the Supreme Court. Review the article, “ Clinton v Jones : The Supreme Court Refuses to Expand the Doctrine of Presidential Immunity to Encompass a President’s Unofficial Acts.” Consider the Supreme Court’s decision regarding the Doctrine of Presidential Immunity. Review the article, “Congressional Alternatives in the Wake of City of Borne v Flores : The (Limited) Role of Congress in Protecting Religious Freedom from State and Local Infringement.” Think about how the Supreme Court limited the power of Congress in the City of Borne v Flores . Review the article, “Constitutional Law–Supreme Court Invalidates Federal Gun-Free Zones Act.” Reflect on how the Supreme Court’s decision constrained the power of Congress under the Commerce Clause. Using the Walden Library and the Internet, research one case discussed in the readings this week, or another of your choosing, in which the courts constrained the power of Congress or the president. Consider arguments made by the president or Congress. Think about how the court came to a decision, noting how the court justified the decision, using constitutional provisions. With these thoughts in mind: Post by Day 4 a brief description of the case you selected. Then, explain the arguments made by the president or Congress. Be specific. Finally, explain how the court came to a decision, using specific constitutional provisions. Again, be specific. Note: Identify the case you selected in the first line of your post. You will be asked to respond to a colleague who selected a case that you did not. Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources. Read a selection of your colleagues' postings. R.

MG – C5POWER AND JUSTICEAssignment OverviewMediation models a.docx

roushhsiu

MG – C5 POWER AND JUSTICE Assignment Overview Mediation models are prevalent in nearly all areas of management research. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) has been often used as an analytical approach for mediation (theory) testing. This Case Assignment contains eight questions. To be able to address those questions you are asked to read the Williams et al., (2009) article on structural equation modeling (certain pages as it is specified in the reading material list), the Bauer et al., (2006) article that presents work that has examined procedural justice as a mediator of the relationship between information privacy and outcome favorability, and test taking motivation, organizational attraction, and intentions toward the organization; and the Colquitt et al., (2001) review article on justice, its dimensions, criteria, and effects on key organizational outcomes. Case Assignment Accurately interpret SEM results and create an alternative structural model. Assignment Expectations 1. For study 1 in Bauer et al., (2006) article, indicate how many indicators each latent variable has. Please provide a detailed answer and include the names of the indicators and the variables, and explain the conceptual differences between them. 2. What are the problems associated with using items as indicators of latent variables? Please indicate at least three problems. Do Bauer et al., (2006) use items as indicators of latent variables? Please explain. 3. Draw a STRUCTURAL path diagram that represents the relationship between the variables in the first study (study 1) in Bauer et al., (2006) article. What is the data on which you base the values that appear in this structural model? 4. In Bauer et al., (2006) article, what do the various fit measures that are used in study 1 and 2 ultimately reflect? 5. In Bauer et al., (2006) article, Figure 2 presents the results of the SEM analysis for the longitudinal student sample. Please explain what the .47** on the arrow between procedural justice and orientation toward the organization represents, and also what does it actually mean? 6. Based on the results of study 2 (field model study) in Bauer et al., (2006) article, the researchers concluded that the partially mediated model is a better fit than the fully mediated model. What mediation refers to in the context of this study, and what is the difference between partial and full mediation in this specific context? How did the researchers reach this conclusion (that the partially mediated model is a better fit than the fully mediated model)? What do these results imply in terms of hypotheses support in this specific study? How do these results contribute to existing knowledge on procedural justice, and to practice in the organizational justice arena? 7. The findings in Colquitt et al., (2001) meta-analytical review, illustrate the relationships among different justice dimensions (such as distributive, procedural, and interpersonal justice), and several organizational outc.

The document outlines the three step process for amending the US Constitution: 1. Congress proposes an amendment by a two-thirds vote in both the House and Senate. Or two-thirds of state legislatures call for a convention to propose amendments. 2. State legislatures then decide whether to ratify (approve) the proposed amendments. 3. If three-fourths of state legislatures ratify an amendment, it becomes part of the Constitution and law across the country. The purpose of amending the Constitution is that it is a living document that can change as the country changes.

• POL201 • Discussions • Week 5 - Discussion Voter and Voter Turnout Prepare: Prior to completing this discussion question, review Chapters 10, 11, and 12 in American Government and review Week Five Instructor Guidance. Also read the following articles: How Voter ID Laws Are Being Used to Disenfranchise Minorities and the Poor (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site., Fraught with Fraud (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site., and Proof at the Polls (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. 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. Think about the media’s role in the election process and how both mass media and social media can impact the election process. 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? What impact has the media (mass and social) had in influencing public opinion regarding voter ID laws? Draw your own conclusion about the debate over voter ID laws and justify your conclusions with facts and persuasive reasoning. Fully respond to all parts of the prompt and write your response in your own words. Your initial post must be at least 300 words.
