POL 303 Week 1 DQ 1 The Four Pillars of U.S. Government

 

The Four Pillars of U.S. Government. The federal government of the United States was constructed using the directions provided in the U.S. Constitution. Our Founding Fathers had the wisdom and foresight to create a very flexible and intelligently structured government framework that has endured. The entire American political system is based on four constitutionally derived pillars: a national government; separation of powers; federalism; and individual rights. Briefly describe each pillar, how it interacts with the other three pillars, and then provide real-world examples of how each pillar supports our government. How does the U.S. Constitution establish checks and balances and federalism using these pillars? Please explain the reasoning behind your response.

Our Founding Fathers had the wisdom and foresight to create a very flexible and intelligently structured government framework that has endured. The entire American political system is based on four constitutionally derived pillars: a national government; separation of powers; federalism; and individual rights.

How does the U.S. Constitution establish checks and balances and federalism using these pillars? Please explain the reasoning behind your response.

 

POL 303 Week 1 DQ 2 Judicial Independence Within a Political Process

 

Judicial Independence Within a Political Process. Our judicial branch of government was designed not only to serve as a check on the power of the executive and legislative branches but also to be the final arbiter on disputes among states and between the states and the federal government. One important arbitration tool utilized by the judicial branch is judicial review. Judicial review is one of the U.S. Constitution’s most provocative features as it plays an important role in shaping the laws that impact our society. For this discussion, complete the following:

Define judicial review.

Explain why the origins and legitimacy of judicial review are often called into question.

Discuss whether the framers of the Constitution intended for the judiciary to have this role in the policy making process.

Share your opinion on judicial review. Explain why you support or do not support judicial review.

 

POL 303 Week 2 DQ 1 Legislative and Executive Powers

 

Legislative and Executive Powers. Congress passes legislation and the president is tasked with implementing that legislation unless the legislation is vetoed. The powers of both the legislative and executive branches were on full display with the passage and implementation of the Patriot Act. The U.S. Patriot Act was signed into law on October 26, 2001 – after the events of September 11th that same year. This act was passed because the legislative and executive branches felt there was a need for more cooperation between key government intelligence agencies and broader powers for law enforcement and the overall goal was a safer more secure United States. However, as the events of September 11th become a more distant memory, many have begun to question whether the Patriot Act is too broad in its scope and if the Act infringes on individual civil rights and liberties. In your opinion, does the Patriot Act infringe on civil rights and liberties? Explain your reasoning, discuss why you do or do not support the Patriot Act, and provide at real-world examples/evidence that support your answer. \

 

POL 303 Week 2 DQ 2 Federalism and the Exercise of National Power

 

Federalism and the Exercise of National Power. Our federal government has many duties, obligations, and powers under the Constitution. Some scholars argue that the reach of the federal government should be limited and constrained. Other scholars argue that the federal government should not be constrained or limited where the welfare of the U.S. people is concerned. For example, in the case, Gonzales v. Raich, the boundaries of the federal government’s definition of interstate commerce are in question. In this case, Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) agents took marijuana plants from a woman’s home in California under the Federal Controlled Substances Act. However, under California’s Compassionate Use Act of 1996, the plants were allowed for medical use. For this discussion, address the following questions:

1. Does the federal government have the right to ban marijuana under the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution?


2. Is this an overreach of the federal system, or is this effort in line with the duties and obligations of our central government described in the Constitution?

 

POL 303 Week 2 Federalism and Constitutional Debates

 

Federalism and Constitutional Debates. This assignment will require you to use your critical thinking skills in evaluating how the concept of federalism interacts with various current constitutional debates. In the prompt for the Final Research Paper (located in Week Five of your online course or the Components of Course Evaluation section of this guide), you have been provided a list of current constitutional debate topics. Select one of these topics for this assignment and create a hypothetical personal opinion article (op-ed) for your local newspaper. In this op-ed, you must take a position supporting or opposing the issue you select. Even though you will be choosing a side, you must discuss both sides of the argument and then provide a logical argument why your position is valid, credible, and should be supported.

Your paper should be organized into the following sections:

§ Introduction

§ Discussion/claims supporting your position

§ Discussion/claims against your position (counter-arguments)

• Summary argument supporting your position

 

POL 303 Week 3 DQ 1 Establishment and Exercise of Religion

 

Establishment and Exercise of Religion. The lack of a national religion supported and established by the federal government has been hailed as one of the most important principles that ensure religious freedom in the United States. In addition, the ability to practice any religious or non-religious beliefs is equally applauded as a core tenant of religious freedom. Still, the debate over religious freedom continues throughout our nation. Currently, numerous organized religions co-exist with organizations for non-believers. In your opinion, what are the essential elements of religious freedom? Is separation of church and state necessary? Does the U.S. Constitution equally and effectively protect the rights of all religious believers and non-believers? Explain your reasoning, discuss why you are taking the positions you are taking in your response

 

POL 303 Week 3 DQ 2 Freedom of Speech, Press, and Assembly- Today and Tomorrow

 

Freedom of Speech, Press, and Assembly: Today and Tomorrow. Certain freedoms identified and protected by the Constitution have been the subject of intense political, social, and cultural controversy. The right of all Americans to believe, say, and write what they want, to protest in our streets, and to challenge the pervading political, social, cultural thoughts of the day are the most fundamental of American freedoms. Yet, these freedoms have been, are, and will continue to be modified and will evolve as our nation evolves. For instance, in the last 10 years, numerous types of social media have been developed that have changed the way society operates. New versions of social media, from Facebook to SnapChat, are available at the click of a button – and even on our cellphones. When the Founding Fathers wrote the U.S. Constitution, they had no idea how technology would advance or how this would impact citizens’ rights. Is virtual freedom of speech the same as freedom of speech in other media outlets (i.e., freedom of the press)? What are some of the civil liberty balancing concerns between freedom of speech/civil liberty supporters and security/law enforcement officials? Be sure to consider the Reno v. ACLU case, found in your course text, in your response.

Introduction

Freedom of religion also referred to freedom of belief is a code gives an individual or society the right exercise their religion in public or private in such forms like teaching, run through, adoration, and adherence; this also accommodate and recognize the freedom to switch religions and beliefs and not to be affiliated to any religion at all (Davis, 2009).

This freedom is regarded by people of diverse nature and cultures as a vital human right. In any nation where there is a state religion, freedom of religion is basically regarded as a way the government allows other religious practices to prevail apart from the state religion, and protect those believers equally in respect to their faith.

 

POL 303 Week 4 DQ 1 Stop and Frisk

 

Stop and Frisk. As you learned in this week’s readings, many constitutional scholars consider the prohibition of unreasonable searches and seizures as one of the most basic freedoms that the Bill of Rights clearly protects. This central freedom supports and protects other essential freedoms, like free speech, press, assembly, and religion. Recently, this core freedom has become a very controversial debate topic as large American cities, like New York City, have instituted police procedures described as “stop and frisk.” In these cities, when a police officer has reason to believe that a person is armed there is a set protocol for officers. Officers can make stops based on suspicious activities and frisk individuals for weapons. Courts have found this to be within the boundaries of the Fourth Amendment until just recently. At what point does a reasonable search become unreasonable? What is the role of probable cause in these efforts to provide safety to our citizens? When, during this process, could the police officer infringe on individual rights? Discuss why you support or do not support stop and frisk efforts by the police.

 

POL 303 Week 4 DQ 2 Capital Punishment and You

 

Capital Punishment and You. Every American accused of a crime that could result in loss of life, liberty, and properly has the right to fair treatment or due process. One of the most divisive aspects of due process is capital punishment and the prevention of cruel and unusual punishment to those convicted fairly of crimes. Specifically, the Eighth Amendment prohibits cruel and unusual punishment, and the ongoing debate revolves around if the death penalty is or is not considered cruel and unusual punishment. In your opinion, does the death penalty violate the U.S. Constitution? Why, or why not? Does the age of those sentenced to death influence your opinion of the death penalty, and if so, how? Please explain your answer

 

POL 303 Week 5 DQ 1 What Right to Privacy

 

What Right to Privacy?. The fact that the Constitution does not have a specific clause or reference to a right to privacy has become a very contentious cultural, social, and political issue in the United States. The ability of the government to enter into the private lives of American citizens has clearly been restricted by provisions in the Fourth Amendment, yet the debate over certain privacy based rights such as contraception, abortion rights, and consensual sexual activity continues today. In particular, when discussing abortion, many immediately begin to debate a woman’s right to choose. At the heart of the issue constitutionally is not whether a woman has the right to make this discussion but whether she has the right to privacy under the Fourth Amendment. Utilizing the U.S. Constitution and valid case law, explain the role that the right to privacy has in establishing the legality of abortion.

 

POL 303 Week 5 DQ 2 Discrimination and the Future of Marriage

 

Discrimination and the Future of Marriage. Three core values are often discussed when it comes to what all Americans hold dear: democracy, liberty, and equality. Equality, in particular, is a value and a right that Americans have fought other nations and each other to preserve and expand. Until the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution was passed, equal protection of the law was not part of our Constitution. This critical amendment was the legal vehicle that enabled our nation to prohibit discrimination based on race and sex and to also support and affirm the need for diversity. Nevertheless, the struggle for equal protection and due process continues, and other amendments to the Constitution, which include the Fifth, Ninth, and Fourteenth Amendments, have become involved in this effort. One of the most debated legal decisions involving equal protection thus far has been the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) of 1996. In a 2013 Supreme Court decision, Section 3 of the Act was found to be unconstitutional. Did the Supreme Court justices rightfully interpret the equal protection clause from the Fifth and/or Fourteenth Amendments in this case? Identify and utilize constitutional precedents and case law to support your argument

Social traditional observe that our statement of self-government speaks of unalienable rules endowed by our inventor. That proposes, according to the traditional thesis, dependence on the Judaeo-Christian convention, which does not support a right to Religious freedom.

They supposed in God as inventor, although not essentially in a God who relates with mankind on a progressing basis. But for legitimate purposes, that faith is immaterial. Our legitimate structure does not hinge on whether rules come from spirit or from a new source.

 

The legitimate baseline is that every human being possesses religious freedom rights. We begin with those religious freedom rights whether spirit-given otherwise natural then defend them by delegating restricted powers to a supervision bound by a written foundation. That establishment does not unique religion from our survives; it does divide religion from management… (Religious Freedom, 2014)

At the inside of religious freedom, next, is the belief of “church independence” or what the united state Jesuit as well as church-state known “the Freedom of the Religious freedom? The large legal scholar as well as historian, the liberty of the religious was a “‘big Idea,’ whose access into history marked the start of a new society era.

 

In some event, this thought or something similar to a significant aspect of any reasonable description of religious freedom under as well as through legitimate law as well as government. Liberty of the church’ was the initial type of religious freedom to show in the America world. (GARNETT, 2014)

They supposed in God as inventor, although not essentially in a God who relates with mankind on a progressing basis. But for legitimate purposes, that faith is immaterial. Our legitimate structure does not hinge on whether rules come from spirit or from a new source.

 

The legitimate baseline is that every human being possesses religious freedom rights. We begin with those religious freedom rights whether spirit-given otherwise natural then defend them by delegating restricted powers to a supervision bound by a written foundation. That establishment does not unique religion from our survives; it does divide religion from management… (Religious Freedom, 2014)
