Reference no: EM133707762 , Length: 3 Pages

Assignment:

You will choose 2 of the following 3 questions to answer, and you will answer them EACH in 2 to 3 pages. Your answers should include references to multiple sources that

You should cite your material so that I can check your work, but formal citation style is not necessary. I recommend using footnotes (Ctrl + Alt + F shortcut on google docs) and inserting the URL in the footnote at the bottom of the page. Just a URL or other identifier such as "Module 2 Declaration Lecture" will suffice for citation purposes for this assignment.

The page number requirement is not a suggestion. Any essays under or significantly over the page requirement will automatically lose one letter grade. I recommend a full 2.5 to 3 pages to receive full credit in regard to essay length.

Here are the questions you may pick from to answer: (Remember, answer only 2).

1) What are the rights you have as an American, how are they protected, and why is an understanding of those rights important to the process of educated political participation? Please include examples of both what your rights are AND what processes the American Government uses to protect or challenge those rights.

2) How do the political philosophers we studied this semester influence your understanding of American Government? Of the ones studied, which one do you feel like does the best job of outlining the type of political system we have in America, and why? Please include examples to support your point.

3) In your opinion, and based on the material that we have studied over the semester, which branch of Government do you consider to be the most powerful? From what source does that branch derive its power, and how has its power expanded from the founding era until today? What practical impacts does the expansion of this branch have upon your personal life? Please include examples to support your point.

Each question must have a 2 page response
