1.) The US Constitution was passed in 1787. As discussed in the module, the Constitution is an old and rather brief document. It was also written primarily by white, land-owning men. How do you think this is relevant in today's society and what impact do you think this has on the Constitution. Consider in your answer, some of the compromises that were reached in writing the new constitution. Please discuss 2 or 3 things that come to mind and be sure to explain your answers.
2.) One of the often cited problems with the Electoral
College is that someone can win the presidency yet not receive the
most number of votes throughout the country. This happened in
2016 when President Trump received fewer votes than Hillary
Clinton. However, President Trump won more states than
Clinton did (he won 30 states, she won 20). This leads some
to argue that the Electoral College can actually be MORE fair than
a straight popular vote, because it forces a candidate to do well
throughout the country. Those same people argue that the
Electoral College protects small states and forces candidates to do
well in those states as well. Do you agree with these
arguments and do you believe Trump winning the presidential
election was fair or unfair considering he did not receive the most
number of votes?

1 In the November 2016 election, Donald Trump received 49% of the votes cast in Florida (Hillary Clinton received 47%).

Suppose a survey was conducted in Florida shortly before the election such that we can assume that the true proportion of the population who planned to vote for Trump was 49%. The pollsters surveyed 600 likely voters and found that 283 of them planned to vote for...

Consider this excerpt from a debate, between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. One of the moderators, Martha Raddatz, posed the following question: RADDATZ: Secretary Clinton... you have asked for an increase from 10,000 to 65,000 Syrian refugees.

For purposes of the individual written assignment: Since the time that the Affordable Care Act was signed into law Most Americans rely on employers to provide health coverage (although some qualify for government-based coverage such as Medicaid and Medicare).

What are your views on a single-payer/government-run system that takes insurance companies out of the picture?...
SESSION 11 JOHN YANG: On this Labor Day, we turn now to organized labor. Union membership has been on the decline in the United States for decades: According to the Labor Department, just 11.1 percent of wage and salary workers belonged to a union last year.

By Justin Wolfers Nov. 21, 2018 President Trump's protectionist impulses have upended the global debate about international trade. But so far, his policies have barely changed a fundamental reality: The United States is still less protectionist than it has been throughout most of its history or than most nations are today Even if...
