Should members of the U.S. Congress be “delegates” or “trustees” for their constituents? Which do you believe serves the best interests of the members of Congress and of the constituents?

Assignment 2: Three Branches of Federal GovernmentThe Framers of the Constitution, to ensure that no single person or entity had a monopoly on power, instituted a system of checks and balances. Thus, the United States has three branches of government: the executive, the legislative and the judicial. Each of these branches has a distinct and essential role in the function of the government and also exercises some control over the actions of the other branches.Research the three branches of government using the textbook and Argosy University online library resources. Respond to one question from each of the question sets below.A. Legislative (Pick one to respond to)Should members of the U.S. Congress be “delegates” or “trustees” for their constituents? Which do you believe serves the best interests of the members of Congress and of the constituents?Should members of Congress vote according to their own views or the views of the constituents who elected them?B. Executive (Pick one to respond to)Which president do you feel was the greatest and which president do you feel was the worst in U.S. history? Why?What are the qualifications required to be president? Describe at least one other qualification you feel should also be required and explain why.After serving the maximum two terms as president, should an ex-president be allowed to be reelected after an intermediate term of another president? Why or why not?C. Judicial (Pick one to respond to)How can the U.S. Supreme Court’s power be curbed? Is it important that curbing the Court’s power should not be easy? Why or why not?The Constitution does not stipulate that judges must have a law degree or legal training. Yet all judges appointed are law school graduates. Why? Is it possible that a judge could come from another field? Why or why not?Write your response to each question in 150–200 words.

What is more important, spreading the values of the Federation, or respecting the independence of the people of another planet?

Link to video “A Private Little War” https://vimeo.com/81912586The crew of the Enterprise are sworn to protect the “Prime Directive,” the order never to interfere with the native development of another culture. And yet, in “A Private Little War,” Kirk and his officers must wrestle with the decision to help arm the friends of the Federation against the tribes aided by the Klingons. This episode was intentionally written to represent the competition between the United States and the Soviet Union in far-off theaters of war like Vietnam.Do you think that Kirk should obey the Prime Directive in this episode — or for that matter, ever? What is more important, spreading the values of the Federation, or respecting the independence of the people of another planet? Also spend a portion of the paper comparing this view to the Soviet Union. Length of answer should be 2-3 pages. The best essays will include a strong thesis statement, smooth transitions between paragraphs, and potential counter arguments.Please double-space and use 12-point font

explain how radical individualism influences the American psyche and the role of citizens.

When the U.S. Constitution was first drafted in 1787, it did not include any amendments. As such, the original document was all about the “powers” of government but said nothing about “rights.” Out of concern with tyrannical power, 10 amendments were added to the original document and eventually ratified in 1791. These amendments, called the “Bill of Rights,” granted citizens fundamental rights and freedoms, such as freedom of speech, the press, peaceful assembly, and religious expression, among others. Since then, 17 more amendments have been added to the Constitution, some containing powers and others containing rights. Yet neither the original document, nor any of the 27 amendments, mentions citizen responsibility in controlling powers, safeguarding rights, or involvement in political institutions (government, special interest groups, lobbying organizations, the administrative state, and political parties).For this Discussion, consider this: It would appear that the Framers assumed that the people would see it in their best interest to ensure, through civic engagement, that this equilibrium between rights and powers would be sustained. The question is: Has it? Post by Day 3 your explanation of how political institutions have shaped and influenced the role of the American citizen in government and policy. Then, explain how radical individualism influences the American psyche and the role of citizens. Identify two reasons why civic engagement has declined. Explain your rationale and predict what impact this might have on future generations.Note: If you are an international student, explain how citizens in your nation or country are engaged in governance. Is there a sense of civic responsibility? Explain.Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources. Required Resources: udson, W. E. (2017).

Would you terminate this 15-year veteran with a virtually clean record? Why?

A criminal justice research paper developed at the 300-level requires much careful consideration and commitment to scholarly development. The research paper must be properly written with minimal grammatical and content errors.You will write a 5–7-page research-oriented paper in current APA format. Your research paper must have a title page which must not be numbered and does not count toward the total page count of the paper. A complete bibliography using a proper alphabetical format must be at the end of the paper. The paper must include at least 5–7 references, in addition to the class textbooks and the Bible.RESEARCH PAPER TOPICDisclosing Officer Untruthfulness to the Defense: Is a Liar’s Squad Coming to Your Town?Since 1963, a series of United States Supreme Court case decisions have clarified that, in criminal cases, prosecutors must disclose to the defense evidence favorable to the defendant. This includes information that may be used to impeach the credibility of government witnesses, including law enforcement officers. These decisions mean that police officers who have documented histories of lying in official matters are liabilities to their agencies, and these histories may render them unable to testify credibly.With this in mind, you are the Chief of Police of a municipality. Your Deputy Chief of Police advises you that one of your officers was investigated for inappropriate use of one of the computers in the patrol division. As a result of this internal investigation, it was determined that the officer used this computer to search pornographic web sites. When confronted with this allegation, the officer denied any knowledge of this incident. Upon further investigation, the computer crimes analyst determined that the officer’s log on password was used to enter the unauthorized web sites. The officer then admitted to his wrongdoing and stated it would never happen again. This officer has been with your organization for 15 years, and the only other disciplinary action taken against him was for being involved in an at-fault traffic accident 10 years ago. As the Chief of Police, how would you handle this situation?Would you terminate this 15-year veteran with a virtually clean record? Why?Or would you impose significant disciplinary action as opposed to termination? Why?As part of this research paper, read the following United States Supreme Court Cases:• Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963)• Giglio v. United States, 405 U. S. 150 (1972)• United States v. Agurs, 427 U. S. 97 (1976)• Kyles v. Whitley, 514 U. S. 419 (1995)• United States v. Bagley, 473 U. S. 667 (1985)Research papers will be graded according to the following general guidelines:• Content• Conformity to specified directions concerning structure and design• Appropriate sources • Accuracy of documentation and formatting of sources• Unity (maintaining a controlling idea or thesis and not digressing from it)• Coherence (establishing a smooth and logical flow of thought)• Correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling• Correct formatPlagiarism, the use of material not cited or not acknowledged or material deliberately copied or adapted in any way from an unacknowledged source, will not be tolerated and will result in a grade of “0” for the paper and/or the course. Any time more than 10 consecutive words are used from a single source, credit must be given to that source and the information must be contained in quotation marks using current APA style where the last name of the author from the bibliography, the publication year, and the page number should be listed in parenthesis. For example: (Jenkins, 1994, p. 27).If 2 or more continuous lines from a single source are used, they must be contained in quotation marks, indented, and single-spaced. For example:“For many years, management theorists have been trying to identify, define and proscribe various types of organizational and management behaviors. Their theories have ranged far and wide, indicating the depth and breadth of the problem, but, still no definitive solution has been found.” (McCreedy 1984, p.1)In the event that you are using your own words to paraphrase the idea of another, at the end of the referenced material, again list the author’s name, the publication year and the page or pages. For example: (Robertson, 1999, pp. 6–10).As a general rule, anything mentioned in your paper that is not common knowledge must be referenced.
