Discussion 1
Choose ONE of the following questions to answer in the Discussion Board:
1. 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. Should the U.S. Constitution provide the same protections for all citizens against actions of state governments, or should it be up to each state whether to protect fundamental rights for citizens within the state?
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. What are your views on members "bringing home the bacon" through pork-barrel legislation? What if the funding is for a project in your hometown?
Discussion 3
Choose ONE of the following questions to answer in the Discussion Board:
1. In Table 7.1, the authors provide a list of the 10 greatest Presidents of all time, according to two separate polls by historians (in 2005 and 2009). What criteria, or methodology, do you feel should be used when making this type of assessment?
2. 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. Do you believe a Supreme Court nominee's political views should play a role in his/her approval by the Senate?
3. Currently, the Constitution does not contain eligibility requirements for federal judges. Do you believe this is a strength or a weakn ...

1st peer post:
1. While the current demographic in congress qualifies as the most diverse House of Representatives in history (Due to a number of women winning the elections held in 2018), to say that congress should be more diverse is a gross understatement. Just as our country represents diversity, congress should be much better represented, and our government should make it their priority. When diversity is at the table, contributing to the decisions it brings new perspective, ideas, and in most cases the right solutions. The corporate world has caught on to this and we are now seeing more female CEO’s and other high-level executives than ever. I’m not saying that we do not have white male representatives in office presently (or in the past) that have been advocates and prioritized issues that are most important to communities filled with individuals who do not look like them, come from the same background, or religious beliefs, but having someone who does share in one or multiple areas would have first-hand knowledge and may have been directly affected by the very thing they are fighting for (A woman’s right to choose is a good example).
2. I am definitely in favor of term limits in congress, because it may actually encourage and push our congress men and women to accomplish more because they know that they are on borrowed time. Nancy Pelosi for example, is the first female speaker of the house of representatives and has been in congress for three decades which is quite the accomplishment for a female politician. However, the question would be has she accomplished enough in her tenure given all the years she has held office?
2nd peer post:
1. I have a neutral stance on whether or not there should be more diversity in Congress. Mainly due to my perspective that the color of your skin, sexual orientation, or/and sex does not ALWAYS limit someone's exposure to difficulties or adversity to corresponds with a political issue. For example, funding social welfare programs such as Medicaid, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Programs, or welfare for citizens who are affected b poverty. Statistically, minorities tend to face this problem more than non-minorities; however, this does not mean that a caucasian man in office could not have had that same background. On the other hand, I can see how some issues can be handled or seen better if someone who had first-hand experience of it dealt with it. An issue that a caucasian man in office may not have experienced first hand. For instance, abortion laws, LGBTQ rights, women's rights and etc. These may be issues that need the persepctive of a more diverse group of people who have different insights in order to properly find the best situation to handle issues such as these.
2. No, I don't think that there should be term limits on how many years a member in Congress can serve because I don't see how not having it does any harm. A position in Congress is not like a position to be President— which nee ...
