Assignment:

- Review the Democratic websites again and find a policy that seemingly grants more power or a larger role to the government. How does this differ from the classical liberal idea? 

- Choose any two major policies advocated by the Republican side that adhere to the classical conservative goal of preserving stability and order. Please explain how each of these policies asserts this goal in the modern context.

- Review the Republican websites again and find a policy that seemingly attempts to shrink the size or role of the government. How does this differ from the classical conservative idea?

- The term "conservative", which used in a broader sense, often refers to moral or social issues. Review the Republican websites again and find a stance or policy that attempts to assert a sense of moral or social order or stability.  

- Overall, do you think the Liberal Founders (e.g. Thomas Jefferson) and the Conservative Founders (e.g. Alexander Hamilton) would be pleased at the direction their respective political philosophies have taken in the last 200+ years? Would they be

a) more pleased that core aspects have been preserved?

b) more distraught that there have been significant changes to their core philosophies?

c) more accepting that the changes were necessary to adjust to 200+ years of changes to our society?

There is no way of knowing this, of course, and there is no right or wrong answer necessarily, but please do explain why you take the position you take in your answer.
