Political science

COMPARE AND CONTRAST: “Life, Liberty and Property” (John Locke, 1690s) vs. “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness” (Thomas Jefferson, 7/4/1776) How could a government that protects your property rights be different from one that protects your right to pursue happiness? Which one would be a better government? Things to think about: * Does our government do a bad job of protecting your property?  How so? * Would your answer be different if you were a billionaire? (money is property too!).  Why? Some people say that if government focuses on protecting people’s private property, then it’s favoring rich people too much.  Do you agree?  Why or why not?  Why would someone say this?  Why might a rich person disagree?

1. Please help me to write an answer with 4-5 sentences on the following question and please read these 2 links:https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-protecting-american-monuments-memorials-statues-combating-recent-criminal-violence/On Friday, June 26, 2020, President Trump issued Executive Order on Protecting American Monuments, Memorials, and Statues and Combating Recent Criminal Violence. The Order protects public monuments, memorials, and statues.The Order further seeks to protect state and local monuments. However, under our system of federalism, defacing a state or local monument would be a violation of state or local law. Therefore, federal law enforcement cannot enforce such a violation of law.In order for the president to ensure state and local monuments are also protected, he is directing officials to consider holding back funding and grants.Although the president is well-intended on protecting all monuments, memorials, and statues, do you think the president is overstepping his executive powers by directing officials to consider holding back federal funding and grants? Explain.2. Please help me to write the responds to 2 following discussions(2-3) sentences1. In my opinion, this is not only President Trump’s decision to consider containing federal funding and grants. With all this, they want to stop this violence, as well as punish people with these decisions. But people go against the law, destroy state statuses and other things, and this is not good. What example we give to our children with such actions, the same can somehow be solved with the right path and not with the destroyed ones, that this country will belong to our children in the future. According to the state and presidency, they are only thinking of those people who are protesting and raping the country today, but how about those people who are struggling today in difficult times with this Covid-19 and crisis, what should they do in such a difficult time. I think Government and Trump should think something else what would be good for everyone, that’s my opinion.2. I believe that the president is overstepping his power by doing this. America’s government was set up in a way that local and state governments would have to govern themselves with influence but not total control from the federal level. By trying to enforce state laws at the federal level he is overstepping this boundary. Regarding the withholding of funding towards states that do not support the policy, it may be unethical but has already happened in America before. States were forced to choose between raising their drinking age or losing highway funding, the same is happening now except with the monument policy. Forcing states to either comply with the policy which may lead to more protests towards the state that went against them or would lead greater protests towards the federal government who are trying to stop them. So in my opinion this policy will only end badly and have the opposite effect but is the president’s power to put in place. Instead of enforcing local laws at a federal level a way that would not overstep boundaries would instead be to get the local and state governments to enforce and pass their own laws.

Public budgeting revolves around two basic powers – the power to raise revenue (e.g., to tax) and the power to use the revenues raised to accomplish legitimate constitutionally authorized goals (e.g., to spend). Both of these actions have a wide range of both intended and often unintended consequences. Economic policies and political realities often arise in issues of taxing and spending policies, their influence on the economy, and the resulting impacts on jobs, incomes, living standards and relative freedom and liberty. Ronald Reagan famously employed “supply side economics” and the Laffer Curve in the national budget and budget decisions. After carefully reading this week’s reading assignments, you will conduct your own research and write a concise but thorough research paper 1) explaining and examining the Laffer Curve and a historical perspective on the balance of tax burdens and revenue generation; 2) analyzing contemporary proposals and arguments for the tax cuts in tax reform; 3) analyzing the politics of tax cut discussions in contemporary budget and tax reform issues, and 4) providing a Judeo-Christian analysis of the potential role of tax cuts in contemporary tax reform.

There has been a great deal of attention paid lately to the Balance of Power concept in the US government. One of the fundamental principles of the United States Constitution, the law of the land, is the balance and separation of power among the three branches of the Government: the Legislative, or law-making branch that is the U.S. Congress, the Executive branch which is headed by the President, and the Judiciary, which interprets the law at every level and settles legal disputes regarding the meaning and the application of the law.

Use the information you learned in the Explore learning module this week about the democratic republic, as well as the articles and websites below to develop an essay answering the question – “Why is the Balance of Power principle so critical to the function of the US government, and how have recent political developments challenged the system of checks and balances the government relies on?” Use additional online resources, as needed, to develop your argument.

Take some time to think about your rights. What things do you strongly believe you – and all people – have a right to? Do not limit yourself to rights you know are guaranteed under the U.S. Constitution or law, such as your right to free speech. Instead, consider all aspects of your life – your job/career, education, family, health, safety, religious or moral beliefs, political views, leisure activities, etc. – and the rights you believe you have in each area. Also consider the impact of nuclear weapons, as discussed in Thermonuclear Monarchy, on the rights you choose to discuss.
