This is a short writing assignment.  It is a position paper, so there is no right or wrong answer, although the essay is evaluated for thoughtful consideration of the topics covered in this section of the course (The Spirit of American Politics, The Ideas That Shape America, The Constitution, and Federalism and Nationalism).  Students should choose one of the following questions to answer for their essay, first by asserting a position (5 pts.); and second, arguing why the position is the correct one (5 pts.).  Nonetheless, the essay must incorporate at least two references from the respective chapter in the Morone and Kersch textbook that pertains to the question selected (2 x 10 pts. = 20 pts.). The purpose of this assignment is for students to reflect on one of the topics discussed in class during this period.  Introducing evidence into the essay to back up the position is ideal, but not entirely necessary.  In any case, some thoughtful reflection or perhaps some rhetorical reasoning is required in the essay to be persuasive.  The following questions are broad, but this is on purpose.  Students may want to consider bringing in specifics to narrow the discussion.  A.  Do you believe the federal government should do more, the same, or less for the citizens of our country?  Why? B.  Considering the current number of amendments to the U.S. Constitution, the number of amendments that were proposed and failed, and the stability of our Constitution, do you believe the process for amending the U.S. Constitution is too difficult, just right, or too easy?  Why? C.  Which level of government — federal, state, local, or a combination of the three — do you believe is best able to protect the liberty, equality, and rights of all its citizens?  Why? D.  Do you think more or less people would vote if there were more viable political parties (perhaps three to five more) instead of the two main parties the U.S. currently has, or would voting levels remain the same?  Why? E.  Do you believe there should be term limits for members of Congress?  Why or why not? Also, when composing the document, use these guidelines:  Students’ papers should be 500 to 600 words long, but no more than two pages, double-spaced (5 pts.). Use 12-point (1 pt.) Times New Roman font (1 pt.). Measure margins 1” from the left, right, top, and bottom of the page (1 pt.), and justified to the left (1pt.). Electronically submit the paper as a Word document (5 pts.) under the class’s course menu in the Assignments link in WebCampus by 11:59 pm on the day its due. The essay should be well written using appropriate paragraphing, complete sentences, proper grammar, punctuation and syntax, and contain no spelling errors.  In other words, proofread the essay before submitting it (6pts).

Presidential Agendas Regardless of political affiliation, every citizen has a stake in healthcare policy decisions. Hence, it is little wonder why healthcare items become such high-profile components of presidential agendas. It is also little wonder why they become such hotly debated agenda items. Consider a topic that rises to the presidential level. How did each of the presidents (Trump, Obama, and Bush) handle the problem? What would you do differently? To Prepare: · Review the Resources and reflect on the importance of agenda setting. · Consider how federal agendas promote healthcare issues and how these healthcare issues become agenda priorities. POST your response to the discussion question: Consider a topic that rises to the presidential level. How did each of the presidents (Trump, Obama, and Bush) handle the problem? What would you do differently?

Between 200 and2016, the US experienced remarkable changes internationally and domestically. By any measure, the terrorist attack of Sept. 11, 2001, was a game-changer. With that a long, still-ongoing “war on terror” began that meant military engagements overseas and increased domestic security measures. In 2008, remarkably, the US elected its first African American president, Barack Obama. He was elected to a second term in 2012.Choose and discuss one of the following two topics related to American history under Presidents Bush and Obama:Discuss the Sept. 11 (2001) attack and its impact.Describe what stands out to you (perhaps from memory) from the events of Sept. 11, 2001Give two examples of events or changes since 9/11 that you attribute to that terrorist attack. In your view, what should we learn from this attack and our experiences trying to deal with it.Identify the source(s) where you read about these free trade issues of that time.Discuss president Obama’s election and presidency. (Considering our many explorations of race relations and Civil Rights in our history, there is much that can be said of President Obama’s election and presidency, and it is still perhaps too early to evaluate fully.)Identify two specific examples that you think were the most important developments of Obama’s presidency.Explain why you chose those two examples.Identify the source(s) where you read about these changes of the early 21st Century.

Critically analyze the content, be grammatically correct, and proofread for spelling errors. It counts in the real world, so it counts here, too. Make your initial posts early in the week giving others time to keep the discussion going. Responses need to extend discussions already taking place, or pose new possibilities or opinions – not merely reiterate previously stated comments. Demonstrate evidence of graduate-level thinking about the topics and professional interactions with other participants.
