Reflect: The U.S. Constitution is the cornerstone of our federal government. The Constitution establishes a basic operational framework that enables the three branches of government – executive, legislative, and judicial –

Prepare: Prior to beginning your reflection this week, complete all course readings, your introduction, and the Discussion, “The U.S. Constitution.” Reflect: Once you have completed these assignments think about how American politics have and could affect your career aspirations. The Founding Fathers created an amazing governmental structure that affects almost every aspect of our lives even today. For instance, if you are a criminal justice major, what parts of the U.S. Constitution are applicable to what you are learning in your major? If you are a business major, which branch of government 

  5. POL 201 Inspiring Innovation--snaptutorial.com POL 201 Week 1 Learning Activity The Constitution For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com The Constitution. The weekly worksheets will help you build all the necessary parts for your Final Paper. This week, you will evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the most important document for America’s national government, the U.S. Constitution. In your worksheet, you will describe one strength and one weakness of the Constitution. In addition, you will need to recommend a way to maintain the strength of this amazing document and a way to correct a weakness. This effort begins the process of critically analyzing key features of our national government. To complete the assignment, save the Week One Learning Activity Worksheet (available in the online classroom) to your computer, fill it out, and submit it.

  6. POL 201 Inspiring Innovation--snaptutorial.com POL 201 Week 1 Quiz For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com Question 1. The American system of government can be most accurately described as a _________. Question 2. In 1607, the English monarch King James I granted a charter to which organization to establish a settlement in the Chesapeake region? Question 3. The Connecticut Plan, also known as the Great Compromise, combined elements of which two other plans during the Constitutional Convention of 1787?

POL 201 Inspiring Innovation--snaptutorial.com POL 201 Week 2 DQ 1 Policy and Your Life For more classes visit www.snaptutorial.com Policy and Your Life Prepare: Prior to beginning work on this discussion question, read Chapters 3 and 4 in American Government. In addition, watch the videos provided on federalism: Quick Study of Federalism Part 1, Quick Study of Federalism Part 2, and Quick Study of Federalism Part 3, and the U.S. Constitution: Episode I - A More Perfect Union. Reflect: The U.S. government's expansive role in public policy is caught in a swirl of conflicting crosscurrents. On the one hand, popular expectations about government's responsibility to solve problems often exceed the capacity of state and local authorities to respond effectively. On the other hand, policies developed at the national level may not sufficiently reflect the great diversity of interests across the U.S.

To complete the assignment, save the Week Two Learning Activity Worksheet (available in the online classroom) to your computer, fill it out, and submit it.

Reflect: The executive and judicial branches of the U.S. national government often seem to operate independently and with little conflict. Many laws are signed by the President and then implemented without a word from the judicial branch. However, there are times when executive decisions are challenged by the judicial branch in a process called judicial review. In addition, there are times when a judicial review has direct impact on your life. For example,
