Government 1

PART 1:

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 be effective at the local level. Moreover, the search for effective policy is further complicated by theoretical

debates about the constitutional framework of federalism, that is, what limits on national power can be derived from the Tenth

Amendment?

Select a policy or piece of legislation that involves the program you are seeking a degree in (i.e., your major). discuss the

federalism challenges that this policy is creating or facing. For example:

If you are an education major, how are local, state, and federal government policies affected by the No Child Left Behind

legislation or some other piece of education-related legislation?
If you are a criminal justice major, how does recent legalization of marijuana in some states affect local, state, and federal

control over this issue?
If you are a business major, how does the insurance mandate in the Affordable Care Act affect local, state, and national businesses

and their employees?
If you are a political science major how has the recent Citizen’s United ruling affected the amount of money available for

campaigns at the local, state, or federal levels?

Fully respond to all parts of the prompt and write your response in your own words. Your initial must be 200 to 250 words. Support your

position with APA citations from two or more of the assigned resources required for this discussion.

PART 2:

Once you have completed these assignments, think about how federalism and the U.S. Congress have or will affect your life. The federal

structure ensures that there is a clear line between local, state, and federal government regulations, policies, and oversight—

sometimes! Think about how federal statues affect your work or will affect your work in the future. Does Congress have oversight of any

of the processes or products in your workplace? Do the government regulations, policies, and oversight sometimes conflict with local or

state regulations, policies, and oversight?

Write: based on your current or desired job, complete the following:

Describe how a federal policy affects your current or desired workplace.
Explain what role Congress has in establishing workplace conditions in your current or desired job.

Fully respond to all parts of the prompt and write your response in your own words. should be 200 to 250 words.
