Why was the U.S. Constitution’s design of a large federal republic a good way to remedy defects in the Articles of Confederation
$7.00GROUND RULES: Your response to the question below should be 3-4 pages in length (double-spaced, using regular 12 point font and margins). This is an open-book take-home exam, so you should use the assigned readings and your notes to formulate your response to the question.
HELPFUL HINTS: Your exam should use the ideas and events presented in the readings and in class to develop a focused and structured response to the question. Simply recounting history during relevant periods will be insufficient. You need to use that history to make broader arguments about key ideas and concepts, as dictated by the question. If you quote particular readings, you do not need to give a formal footnote, but include relevant page numbers in parentheses after the quote. Please spell-check your response and include page numbers on your document.
Please answer BOTH parts A and B of the following question in your essay:
A. Why was the U.S. Constitution’s design of a large federal republic a good way to remedy defects in the Articles of Confederation?
B. James Madison was concerned about the legislative branch encroaching on the power of the executive and judicial branches. Why? How did the new government’s design solve that problem?
The United States should have a national language
$2.00Do you agree or disagree with the statement, “The United States should have a national language.” Support your viewpoint with details from the reading, “Spanglish,” and/or your knowledge and experience.
Missouri’s application for statehood
$7.00In 1788, Alexander Hamilton and James Madison, who had both played active roles at the Constitutional Convention, worked together to write The Federalist Papers, a series of articles originally published in New York newspapers to convince readers to back the ratification of the Constitution. Constitutional scholars often refer to these papers to gain an appreciation of the “original intention” of the Framers, how those men expected the federal government to operate under the Constitution, and the powers they sought to grant or deny the federal government. By the early 1790s, however, Hamilton and Madison had divided over basic constitutional questions such as whether or not the federal government could charter a national bank. The American electorate, which had ratified the Constitution, had split on the issue as well, dividing into rival Federalist and Republican parties.
For this assignment, explore one significant constitutional controversy, from the first two decades of the United States under the Constitution (1789 to 1821). Topics to consider include:- The incorporation of the Bank of the United States
- Debt assumption
- The Jay Treaty
- The Alien and Sedition Acts
- The Election of 1800
- John Marshall’s use of judicial review
- The Louisiana Purchase
- The trial of Aaron Burr
- Jefferson’s Embargo
- Federalist opposition to the War of 1812
- Missouri’s application for statehood
Describe opposing views of the topic under consideration, and explain how each side used the Constitution to support its position. Assess the validity of the two sides according to your own interpretation of the Constitution as well as according to how the Constitution and constitutional principles were understood at the time the controversy occurred.
Legal Issues and Resolutions Paper
$30.00Legal Issues and their Resolutions
In this assignment, you will consider many of the legal concepts addressed in this course and apply them to relevant scenarios.
You are currently a third year law student working as a summer intern for the largest law firm in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Your mentor and senior attorney introduces you to a new client, Ronald Crump, the owner of Crump International, a large multinational organization with diverse businesses in real estate, construction, travel, entertainment, media, and other communication networks. As the owner of this large organization, Crump is looking to your firm to handle all of his legal needs.
You learn the following from your meetings with Crump:
- The construction division recently hired a former high-ranking official from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to ensure environmental regulations are followed. Crump is concerned about the EPA’s proposed rule that will require the construction division to obtain additional permits and conduct more frequent inspections. The agency published the rule in the Federal Register last week. These new permits will create more work and expense for Crump. The former EPA employee indicated that he knows people at the EPA who might be able to make the proposed rule disappear in exchange for contributions to fund the newly created environmental training facility in California.
- The Crump Resort in Allentown, Pennsylvania (CRAP) is being sued by Josie McDonald for premise liability (negligence) and emotional stress due to bedbug bites during her stay at CRAP. Crump maintains that his resort properties are held to the highest standards and that he intends to file a countersuit because McDonald created a blog where she made false statements about the CRAP being infested with bedbugs. McDonald made similar disparaging remarks to the local television station in Allentown.
- Crump is famous for his reality show called “The Intern” as well as his favorite phrases “You’re Fired” as he sends interns packing and “You’re Hired” for those who survive the grueling business boot camp. Crump wants to make sure his phrases are protected from use by others without permission. Crump reminds you that this protection should extend use in the United States and in other countries.
- Instead of working for her father, Crump’s daughter Erica applied for a position as associate attorney with the firm of Slippe, Faul, & Sioux, a law firm specializing in personal injury law in Atlantic City, New Jersey. On September 15, the firm offered Erica an employment contract for one year with a yearly salary of $75,000 starting on October 1. The contract contained the following provisions.
- Erica could not be terminated during the term of employment unless she committed an illegal act.
- Any disputes would be resolved using mediation selected by the law firm.
- Erica would not be permitted to work for any law firm within a 100-mile radius of Atlantic City for two years after leaving the firm.
- Erica accepted the job and signed the contract the same day. Erica decided to keep the news secret until she returned from vacation the following week. On September 17, Crump offered to give Slippe all of his legal business related to personal injury if the law firm hired Erica. The firm accepted. When Erica told her father the news about getting the job on September 15, Crump refused to transfer any legal work to the firm. The law firm filed a suit against Crump, citing the parties had a contract. When Erica showed up for work on October 1, the law firm informed her that they no longer needed her services. One week later, Erica found another job with Tweady & Byrd, a firm specializing in entertainment law located about five miles from Slippe, Faul, & Sioux.
- Mark Holmes, a director in the real estate division, met with Ben Franklin, 80-years-old, about purchasing a large tract of land owned by Franklin in New Jersey. Crump International planned to bulldoze the acreage to create a new golf resort. During the meeting, Holmes noticed several brochures about Alzheimer’s as well as several prescription bottles sitting on the table. After discussing the good old days for several hours, Holmes and Franklin agreed on the sale of the land for $1,500,000. Since Holmes brought a blank copy of a contract with him, he helped Franklin complete the paperwork and both parties signed. Unbeknownst to either party, the purchase price was written as $150,000. On the day before the closing, Holmes called Franklin to remind him of the location. Holmes said he didn’t know anything about selling that land and he had no intention of selling his land to some big city slicker.
Based on the scenario, create a 8- to 9-page Microsoft Word document. The document should serve as an interoffice memorandum to the firm’s senior attorney. In addition, the document should address the following and any others issues you may discover:
- What happens when a government agency proposes a rule? What would you recommend Crump do in response to the EPA’s proposed rule that was published last week?
- Should Crump make a contribution to the environmental training center? Why or why not?
- Will Crump win the negligence lawsuit filed by McDonald? Why?
- Should Crump file the countersuit for the blog and remarks McDonald made on television? If yes, on what basis? If not, why not?
- Are the phrases “You’re Fired” and “You’re Hired” considered intellectual property? If yes, what type? If not, why not? Are there any issues with protecting these phrases in the U.S. and in foreign countries?
- What is the status of the employment contract between Erica and Slippe, Faul, & Sioux?
- Will the noncompete provision be enforceable? Why or why not?
- What is the status of the agreement between Crump and Slippe, Faul, & Sioux?
- Do Holmes and Franklin have a valid contract? What are the basic requirements for contract formation? What defects in the contract formation process may have occurred?
In addition to the above, identify the legal issue, information that may be missing in order to provide an appropriate answer, and possible solutions. Also, address any potential ethical issues that you identify.
Support your responses with examples.
Cite any sources in APA format.

POTUS memo
$7.00Introduction
This project is an opportunity to discuss what you think should be the highest priority (national interest) in the future of American foreign policy. Completing this activity is a mandatory component of this course. It serves as the standard course assessment for all GOVT 2305 students.Failure to submit this project in its entirety will result in a failing grade for the course.There are three steps to completing this project.
Step 1: Identify the issue and how the US government is currently addressing it. Then, identify strategies that could be used to improve those efforts.
Step 2: Gather three scholarly research articles that address the issue you selected and offer suggestions for improvement.
Step 3: Prepare a formal policy memo for the President of the United States (POTUS). This is the only part of the project you will turn in.
The grading standards used to assess the quality of your work for this project will be detailed in a grading rubric, which will be provided during the semester.
It is strongly suggested that student read ahead and use the library database during the first week of the course to begin researching a topic. This project requires carefully planning throughout the semester. Refer to the course calendar for the specific due date. The final product is to be submitted as a single file via the submission guidelines identified by the instructor.
Step 1 – Identifying the Issue
A.Throughout chapter 14 of the textbook, you will find traditional methods and core issues used to create theforeign policy agenda. Use this information as a starting point for identifying the subject of your own research.
B.Next, identify a single issue that you feel should be the highest priority in American foreign policy and specifically how the nation should go about pursuing that policy.
Step 2 – Gathering Sources
A.Find three high-quality reference materials(articles published in an academic journal) using the following criteria:
- The article must be no more than ten years old, a minimum of five pages in length, and should meet the standards of college level material.
- Carefully choose those works that provide a variety of perspectives on your topic.
- Newspaper articles, magazine articles, textbooks and items of the like are considered “supplemental sources” on the collegiate level and are not quality research materials.
- Dictionaries, Encyclopedias (including Wikipedia), Almanacs, or an Atlas are reference materials andshould not be listedin any works cited page on the collegiate level.
- Properly document your sources in your memo and on a works cited page.
Step 3 – The Memo
A.Your paper should quickly explain how the President can take your advice and put it into action.He is a busy man, so keep it short and to the point.
B.This document should quickly articulate (in 2-3 paragraphs) the relevance of the issue, your policy position (citing the supporting evidence) and conclude with a suggested course of action.
C.The memo is to be 1.5 – 2 full pages in length using single spacing (using the formal formatting protocols for a memo). No more and no less is necessary for this activity. If you need help with the formatting, simply do a web search to find a style guide. Failure to meet the minimum writing requirement will result in a zero for the entire assignment (no partial credit will be awarded as this is a formal institutional assessment).
D.Finally, add a cover page to the front of the document and include the works cited page at the end.

$20.00Topic Discussion
As we all know the US government recently went into a federal government shutdown. The shutdown began on October 1, the end of
the fiscal year for the national government. In a capsule the shutdown
resulted from Republicans and Democrats being unable to agree on a spending plan for the fiscal year, resulting in a federal coffer.
Given the recent shutdown, I would like you to address the following issues in your paper:
- What issues that led up to the shutdown (i.e., Obamacare, the national debt ceiling, )
- Identify the major players in the battle and the positions they supported, the role of the public in the battle
- The role of the Presidential and Congressional action or thereof during the shutdown
- How was the shutdown ended on October 16, 2013
- The consequences of the shutdown and what legislative action is required to avoid another shutdown in the near future
These are just broad issues that I would like to be covered in the paper and are not exclusive. I recommend you use your analytical skills and personal opinions in addressing these issues. In addition, if you feel that there are other issues that need to be addressed that were not include in the above listed categories, please feel free to address them in your paper.
Paper Requirements
This will be a formal research paper, therefore, you will be required to provide a biography of every source used and include endnotes. Please use your best discretion in citing a resource in your paper. As wonderful as Wikipedia is, I DO NOT want that website to be the major source of your information. I know that this is a recent issue, so most of your resources will be from the Internet, but please include your personal opinions within the paper.
The paper must be in the following format:
- 12 ft TIMES NEW ROMAN, black font
- 5 page minimum (not including the title and bibliography pages)
- 1-‐inch margins
- Double-‐spaced
Analysis of twentieth-century immigrants experiences in response to Crevecoeur’s vision of America
$12.00PAPER1: ANALYZING TWENTIETH-CENTURY IMMIGRANT EXPERIENCES IN RESPONSE TO CRÈVECOEUR’S VISION OFAMERICA
PURPOSE:
In this class, you will be reading and writing about a variety of sources, which we can classify according to the following broad categories (BEAT):
- Background sources:Background sources will present facts and background information about the material we are studying. You may use background sources to help you support your analyses of exhibit sources.
- *Exhibit sources:Exhibit sources are the primary texts under analysis in your papers. For our course, your exhibit sources will be the literary works (short stories, poems, novel…) that we are studying in class. All of your major papers will focus on exhibit sources.
- Argument sources:Argument sources will make arguments about those exhibit sources. You will find yourself agreeing or disagreeing with argument sources, and assessing whether or not those argument sources are useful for analyzing your exhibit sources. Because your paper assignments are argument based, your own papers also function as argument sources.
- Theory sources:Theory sources will present general theories (not proven fact) that are not necessarily about your specific exhibit sources, but may nevertheless be applicable to, and help you analyze, your exhibit sources.
This first paper assignment asks you to enter into an academic conversation already in progress by analyzing a single exhibit source in response to an argument source. This assignment will also allow you to implement the three-part introduction structure (common ground > problem/question > claim/response), which will help you to clarify the issue at stake in your essay and solidify your position.
TASKS:
As discussed in class, Crèvecoeur’s “Letter III: What Is an American?”, although written in 1782 following his own immigration to America, introduces the modern concepts of the American Dream (67, 70, 80, 89-90) and of America as a melting pot (68, 70), forming the author’s perspective on America as a land of equal opportunity for all—a perspective that remains common in the hopeful minds of American immigrants. Unfortunately, the America they encounter upon arriving does not always conform to that preconceived ideal, for a variety of reasons. For this assignment, you will form a claim in response to the following question:How do the twentieth-century immigrant experiences from our course readings echo and/or problematize and/or reject Crèvecoeur’s eighteenth-century vision of America as a land of equal opportunity?Please select one of the following exhibit sources to analyze in response to the question above: either Mohr’s “The English Lesson” (short story), Baca’s “Immigrants in Our Own Land” (poem), or Malamud’s “The German Refugee” (short story). Your paper should be850-1050 words(roughly 3-4 pages long), not counting your Works Cited page. Please format and cite using MLA style.
In your paper, you will need to do the following, although not necessarily in this particular order:
- Summarize your exhibit source.This will be necessary both in your introduction (briefly) and
throughout your main body paragraphs as you introduce passages from the text to analyze. Consider important elements of your exhibit source, such as genre (short story or poem?), type of narrative, narrator’s point of view, setting, ethnicity/ethnicities portrayed, primary themes, etc. (refer to our “Important Terms” handout)
- Summarize Crèvecoeur’s views of America in “Letter III.”Remember that you are summarizing Crèvecoeur’s perspective for the purpose of analyzing your selected exhibit source to shed light on the immigrant experiences depicted. Focus only on elements from Crèvecoeur’s letter that will be most useful/relevant to your analysis.
WR100 F1: Coming to America Yoder
- Argue whether or not your exhibit source conforms to Crèvecoeur’s view of America (and “an American”) and why/how. Your argument will be based on information gleaned via the narrator, character portrayals, ideas/concepts/themes presented, literary devices, etc. The reasons for your claim (why/how) will be explicated, analyzed, and illustrated through selections of passages/quotes (evidence) from your exhibit source, primarily, and also from your argument source.
-
Analyze the exhibit source you have chosen. You should analyze the ways in which your story or poem coincides with and/or diverges from Crèvecoeur’s depiction of America in 1782. There will logically be many differences, simply as a matter of time/development/evolution over the course of 200 years; it is important to acknowledge this, but don’t be so quick to reject the presence of Crèvecoeur’s ideas completely from your exhibit source. Also pay attention to evolving perspectives of the American Dream, the melting pot, equal opportunity, etc. in your exhibit source, and what that signifies regarding the immigrant experience. Use specific passages/quotes from your exhibit source to guide your analysis and focus your discussion.
