Category: Government homework help

 This is the last piece of your class project. Imagine you’re presenting your policy solution to Congress. Make it interesting and informative.  Take your research from the esays and present it in a multimedia presentation using PowerPoint. 

 REQUIREMENTS

• A title slide and reference slide.
• Each topic will have a four-slide minimum to explain the problem, illustrate the competing solutions, and explain why one is better.
• At least one use of animation and one sound should be used within the final product.
• Be sure graphics are readable.

The two esays are attached.

Post a response for ALL of topics below:

1) Why do only 40% of Americans take part in the political process OR VOTE? Will love to hear your comments.

2) If we are the leading figure on Democracy in the world, why do so many Americans distrust our Political Process? Will love to hear your comments.

3-Compare and contrast the priorities of the Federalists and Antifederalists for the design of the new Constitution. Although the Federalists argued for a stronger central government (and in many ways, they got one), the Antifederalists won important battles, such as the adoption of the Bill of Rights and the retention of power in the states. What does the debate between Federalists and Antifederalists tell us about American politics in the late eighteenth century? In what ways are the values and concerns of these two groups similar to or different from today’s political debates?

4- Combating terrorism has entailed restrictions on civil liberties. How can we reconcile civil liberty and national security? Are we better off opting for more liberty or more security? Are the two goals mutually exclusive? Have Americans become less supportive of the limitations on liberty put into place after the terror attacks in 2001, or do they still perceive that it makes sense to give up some liberties in order to feel more secure?

US Constitution Questions

Chapter 2- US Constitution.

1) Did the Constitution provide us with a Strong Central Government in DC? or did it provide us with a Dictatorship style. E.g., D.C. now controlling Education (No Child Left Behind) I will love to hear your comments. 

2) Are we still a free country under the Constitution (Bill of Rights) or has our government taken away our rights? E.g. Patriot Act?

 3) Would the Foundering Fathers be happy with the way the Constitution is interpreted today?

4) In light of the recent NSA spying on Americans. Do you believe that government has a right to do so or is Security more important than our constitutional right? I will love to hear your comments.

 Class and Professor,

The fourth branch of government has gotten out of hand.  They are unconstitutional and should never have been instituted. The perfect example is the Environmental Protection Agency.  The EPA like many fourth branch agencies issue rulings that have the effect of law.  The unelected administrators of these agencies put regulations in place that should be voted on by the United States Congress.  Congress deflects its duties to Americans by allowing these agencies to continue their Unconstitutional work. 

In their July 2022 ruling in West Virginia v. EPA, SCOTUS in a 6-3 ruling held that the EPA did not have authority to issue the aggressive Clean Power Plan.  In effect, the EPA had overstepped its authority in issuing regulations to existing powerplants. 

The EPA is not the only agency with overstepping problems.  The Food and Drug Administration regularly issues regulations that interfere with issues inside of one state when the government haws no authority to do so.  The Securities and Exchange Commission has a different set of problems.  The put people in prison for small infractions while letting high-level politicians like the Speaker of the US House of Representatives walk free after she and her husband have made tens of millions of dollars on inside information that she made as Speaker. 

These agencies pass regulations that have the effect of law, they enforce those regulations, and they hold hearings to discuss the legality, purpose, and scope of the regulations.  That in effect makes them function as the three branches of government.  The United States Constitution expressly separates these functions three parts of the government and provides no other way to make these actions happen.

 The U.S federal bureaucracy being referred to as the “fourth branch” of government could be true depending on the angle someone views this. From a recent news article The President and his cabinet will travel to multiple events and highlight how the IRA (Inflation Reduction Act) has saved money and cut energy costs. One might view the executive branch of the United States as only the President of the United States himself and that’s it, however the executive branch of government is much more. For example the President has a cabinet of members that he appoints and most of these cabinet members are the “heads” of the 14 major governmental departments that make up the executive branch. These major departments are comprised of sub governmental agencies. For example the Department of Defense would be comprised of the U.S military branches with the NSA and DLA. If a person is to take the question of the federal bureaucracy being the fourth branch of government at face value, then no it clearly is broken down and disseminated into compartmentalized areas of the executive branch, however if a person views how these departments run their own organizations and work directly for and with the President in an advisory role having almost a direct impact on how to shift the direction the United States is going, then yes the federal bureaucracy could be considered to be the fourth branch of government.

3.  Explain how a double-strict liability system would reduce reckless driving. (One paragraph). 

 2) Even though constitutional amendments are rare, there’s often talk in America about changing the United States Constitution. Search recent news articles from the last eight weeks and report on a story about an effort to amend the U.S. Constitution. Be sure to explain why an amendment would be needed rather than just a basic change in federal law. Be sure to apply concepts from the text book and/or weekly content.
