Separation of Powers/Checks and Balances . For much of
2011 and 2012, public dissatisfaction with Congress rose to
all time highs, with 70-80% expressing disapproval with how
Congress does its job. Many commentators note that
Americans are fed up with Washington "grid-lock" that
makes government apparently unable to address important
problems. Other observers believe that the national
government is acting according to its design, based on
separation of powers and checks and balances.
In your initial post of at least 200-250 words, analyze how the
U.S. Constitution implements separation of powers and
checks and balances. Briefly explain why the constitutional

2. framers based the new government on these ideas. Evaluate
how separation of powers and checks and balances are
working out in practice, today, justifying your assessment
with persuasive reasoning and examples.
Fully respond to all parts of the question. Write in your own
words. Support your position with APA citations to two or
more different resources required for this discussion.
By Day 7, respond to at least two of your classmates' initial
posts. Your peer responses each must be at least 75 words.
They must demonstrate critical thinking (e.g., ask a relevant
question about your peer's post while explaining why your
question is significant, or state a perspective that contrasts
with your peer's while explaining or justifying your position).
Amending the U.S. Constitution . The formal process of
amending the Constitution is cumbersome and slow. While
this fact explains why relatively few amendments have been
adopted, it does not discourage advocates of constitutional
change from proposing them. Four amendment proposals
that have gained considerable attention are the Balanced
Budget Amendment, the Birthright Citizenship Amendment,
the Equal Rights Amendment, and the Overturn Citizens
United Amendment. Select one of these proposals as the
topic of your initial post and use the assigned resources to
inform yourself about its purpose and the arguments of its
supporters and critics.
In your initial post of at least 200-250 words, briefly
summarize what the proposed amendment would do and the
problem its proponents say it will solve. Explain the main
pros and cons in the debate about the amendment. Evaluate
the proposed amendment from two perspectives:
a. Your own political philosophy, values or ideology. (Justify

3. your assessment by clearly explaining your political values
and why they lead you to support or oppose the
amendment.)
b. The likelihood that the proposed amendment will
eventually be ratified to become part of the Constitution.
(Justify your assessment by explaining how the proposal will
or will not, in your judgment, survive the ratification
process.)
Fully respond to all parts of the question. Write in your own
words. Support your position with APA citations to two or
more different resources required for this discussion.
By Day 7, respond to at least two of your classmates' initial
posts. Your peer responses each must be at least 75 words.
They must demonstrate critical thinking (e.g., ask a relevant
question about your peer's post while explaining why your
question is significant, or state a perspective that contrasts
with your peer's while explaining or justifying your position).
Policy-making in the Federal System . The U.S. government's
expansive role in public policy is caught in a swirl of
conflicting cross-currents. On the one hand, popular
expectations about government's
responsibility to solve problems often exceed the capacity of
state and local authorities to respond effectively. On the
other hand, policies developed at the national level may not
sufficiently reflect the great diversity of interests across the
U.S. to be effective at the local level. Moreover, the search
for effective policy is further complicated by theoretical
debates about the constitutional framework of federalism,
e.g., what limits on national power can be derived from the
Tenth Amendment?
A policy area in the middle of these cross-currents is

4. elementary and secondary education – a subject traditionally
under local control, with some oversight by the states.
However, during the last four decades – especially since 2001
– the national government's role in education has grown
significantly as a result of initiatives by Republican and
Democratic administrations. Use the assigned resources to
inform yourself about this role and the arguments of its
supporters and critics.
In your initial post of at least 200-250 words, briefly
summarize the national government's education policies.
Explain the main pros and cons in the debate about these
policies. Evaluate them from two perspectives:
a. The policies’ effectiveness in improving the quality of U.S.
elementary and secondary education. (Justify your
assessment by clearly explaining your definition of
"effectiveness" and how it should be measured or
determined.)
b. Their consistency with the constitutional framework of
federalism. (Justify your assessment by clearly explaining
your interpretation of American federalism's constitutional
framework and why federal education policies are or are not
consistent with it.)
Fully respond to all parts of the question. Write in your own
words. Support your position with APA citations to two or
more different resources required for this discussion.
By Day 7, respond to at least two of your classmates' initial
posts. Your peer responses each must be at least 75 words.
They must demonstrate critical thinking (e.g., ask a relevant
question about your peer's post while explaining why your
question is significant, or state a perspective that contrasts
with your peer's while explaining or justifying your position).

5. Meet Your Rep . The Constitution states, "The House of
Representatives shall be composed of Members chosen
every second Year by the People of the several States..." (Art.
I, Sec. 2). Contrast
this with the original constitutional language for the other
house of Congress, "The Senate of the United States shall be
composed of two Senators from each State, chosen by the
Legislature thereof for six Years..." (Art. I, Sec. 3).
The phrase "chosen by the Legislature" was changed to
"elected by the people" by the 17th Amendment, but not
until 1912. In other words, from the beginnin...
