Amending the U.S. Constitution

/in /by

Ashford 2: – Week 1 – Discussion 2

 
Amending the U.S. Constitution

The formal process of amending the Constitution is cumbersome and slow.  While this fact explains why relatively few amendments have been adopted, it does not discourage advocates of constitutional change from proposing them. Four amendment proposals that have gained considerable attention are the Balanced Budget Amendment, the Birthright Citizenship Amendment, the Equal Rights Amendment, and the Overturn Citizens United Amendment. Select one of these proposals as the topic of your initial post and use the assigned resources to inform yourself about its purpose and the arguments of its supporters and critics. 

Before writing your initial post, review the assigned resources. To easily access the resources from the Ashford University Library, please see the table located in the Course Materials section.

In your initial post of at least 200-250 words, briefly summarize what the proposed amendment would do and the problem its proponents say it will solve. Explain the main pros and cons in the debate about the amendment. Evaluate the proposed amendment from two perspectives: 

  • Your own political philosophy, values or ideology. (Justify your assessment by clearly explaining your political values and why they lead you to support or oppose the amendment.)
  • The likelihood that the proposed amendment will eventually be ratified to become part of the Constitution. (Justify your assessment by explaining how the proposal will or will not, in your judgment, survive the ratification process.)

Fully respond to all parts of the question. Write in your own words. Support your position with APA citations to two or more of the assigned resources required for this discussion. Please be sure that you demonstrate understanding of these resources, integrate them into your argument, and cite them properly.

By Day 7, respond to at least two of your classmates’ initial posts. Your peer responses each must be at least 75 words. They must demonstrate critical thinking (e.g., ask a relevant question about your peer’s post while explaining why your question is significant, or state a perspective that contrasts with your peer’s while explaining or justifying your position).

Police Technology

New technology represents an important force multiplier for police agencies. Recent advances in the arena of high-tech gadgetry, software, and hardware may allow police departments to gain critical advances in the areas of response times, productivity, and safety. Police administrators realize that criminals are becoming more sophisticated and, as a result, police agencies must also increase their knowledge and use of technology if they are to keep pace with today’s criminal. In addition, the recent reduction in many law enforcement budgets has highlighted the need for greater use of technology in an effort to work smarter through the application of technology resources.

Chapter 14 “Technology Review” provides exploration and analysis of the important technological advances and applications in the field of law enforcement. The chapters reveal advances in technology, from computer information and application systems, to gadgetry or tools that will aid in the capture of criminals. This technology also aids in limiting or eliminating potential injuries to officers and the suspects that they intend to detain or arrest.

Write a 3-page paper (excluding the cover and references page) using APA format and three to five references that responds to the following:

Your paper should identify the most useful and potentially beneficial emergent or currently applied technology that you believe will aid law enforcement in the performance of their public safety mission. In the course of the paper, please identify four technologies and explain their applied value to police agencies.

As an example, if you identify a technology that is a suspect apprehension tool, please explain the value of the gadget (i.e., taser), how it is applied in the field, why it is of demonstrated benefit to officers, and what you believe the impact of the use of the technology item will be to both the law enforcement agency and also the public that they serve. The same principles would apply for computer software or hardware components. Again, the key is to fully explain the usefulness of the items in their application and benefit to the law enforcement field.

Application: Influence on Public Policy

Newspapers frequently feature stories on how various democratic principles and processes contribute to democratic governance and impact a wide variety of issues, ranging from the distribution of flu vaccines to the appropriate legal venue for terrorist trials. Public policies that are formulated to address such issues come about as the result of the influence and application of various democratic principles and processes. In addition, competing interests and factions engage in the democratic process using tools such as lobbying or elections in an effort to leverage public policy. As you think about democratic principles and processes for this Assignment, take note of where you see their influence in recent public policy issues.

To prepare for this Assignment:

  • Review the article “War v. Justice: Terrorism Cases, Enemy Combatants, and Political Justice in U.S. Courts” in this week’s Learning Resources. Take note of key democratic principles explained. Consider how the democratic principles in the article might influence public policy.
  • Review the articles “Strategic Lobbying: Demonstrating How Legislative Context Affects Interest Groups’ Lobbying Tactics” and “The Study of Party Factions as Competitive Political Organizations” in this week’s Learning Resources.
  • Think about the democratic processes used by lobbying groups and political factions to influence public policy.
  • Select a public policy issue related to your specialization or to an area with which you are familiar.
  • Select three democratic principles and/or processes that you think might influence the formulation of public policy related to your issue.
  • Reflect on how these principles and processes of democracy influence the formulation of the public policy you selected.

The Assignment (2–3 pages):

  • Briefly describe the public policy issue you selected for this Assignment.
  • Using three democratic principles and/or processes of your choice, explain how you think these democratic principles and/or processes influence the formulation of public policy.
  • Based on your analysis, share at least one insight you gained about the influence of democratic principles and processes on the formulation of public policy. Or, if you live outside the United States, explain how these democratic principles might affect governance in your country.

Support your Assignment with specific references to all resources used in its preparation. You are asked to provide a reference list only for those resources not included in the Learning Resources for this course.

/in /by

Assignment 2: Unhealthy Lunches Drive-In Don’s fast food restaurant sells the most delicious burgers in town at the most affordable price. Elementary and high schools in the vicinity have contracted with the restaurant to serve burgers during lunch hour. However, the county health department’s one-year study shows that children from these schools have the highest cholesterol, are the most obese, and are the least active. George and Mary’s son, Randall, 12, attends one of the schools where Drive-In Don’s foods are served. He suffers from extreme obesity and high cholesterol and runs the risk of diabetes. George and Mary have sued Drive-In Don’s and the school, alleging that Drive-In Don’s is engaging in illegal deceptive advertising of its foods and is not truthful to customers. Further, the lawsuit states that the restaurant purposely fails to provide consumers details of the ingredients of its food products. Research consumer protection laws and regulations, using your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet. Based on the facts of the case and research, write an analytical paper (approximately 4-5 pages). In the paper, respond to the following questions: Do George and Mary have a case? What are their strongest legal arguments? Explain. What defense(s), if any, do the school and the restaurant have? Explain. Can the government agencies, such as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) help the plaintiffs in any way? Explain. Write a 4-5-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards for writing style to your work. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M4_A2.doc.

II. Discussion Questions/Posts: 10% total course grade – 5 total discussion forums

Students are required to submit discussion posts for each graded discussion forum.  There must be one original substantive post AND at least two substantive replies to your classmates’ posts for each graded forum.  The average of the five discussion forum grades will constitute 10% of your overall course grade. Correct grammar, capitalization, punctuation, complete sentences, and CITATION of your sources (textbook readings with page numbers and textbook citation; assigned video instruction; outside research sources but PLEASE do NOT use Wiki sources) must be included in your posts.  Please note that a post of just a few sentences is NOT sufficient. Failure to post before the time limit will result in a grade of zero for that forum. NO extensions will be given for Discussion Forums as ALL forums are open on August 24 and close on September 6 and 20; October 4 and October 14 (please review course blueprint for specific information). You can and should work ahead on discussion forums as you have approximately two weeks to complete each module’s discussion forums. Questions will regularly be posted on the discussion board.

 

The same criterion is used in grading your response posts to your classmates’ discussion posts, and the maximum combined total score for response posts is five points.  In other words, a student may earn up to ten (10) points per discussion forum when combining points for the original answer to the question and responses to other students’ posts. Responses must contribute something new to the discussion to earn points. Responses should also be more than a few sentences, you will need to spend some time writing and responding to your classmates. In other words, writing a response that consists solely of a sentence or two stating something like “Good post, (classmate’s name) or interesting ideas!” will receive zero points.

List your references. Your analysis should be at least 2 pages in length, in addition to a title and a reference page. APA formatting is required.

 

Scenario

Compassion and Ethics: Annie, a 27-year old woman with two children, began experiencing severe pain in her abdomen and scheduled an appointment with Dr. Brown, a gastroenterologist, who ordered a series of tests. While conducting a barium scan, a radiologist at Community Hospital noted a small bowel obstruction. Dr. Brown recommended surgery and Annie agree.

After surgery, the operating surgeon, paged Mark over the hospital intercom and Mark returned his call. “Well surgery is over and your wife is recovering nicely in the recovery room,” Dr. Brown said. Mark was relieved until the Dr. Brown continued, “I am sorry to say that she has carcinoma of the colon and the cancer has spread to her lymph nodes and surrounding organs.” Before hanging up Mark told Dr. Brown, “Please do not tell Annie she has cancer I always want her to have hope.” Dr. Brown agreed, “Don’t worry, I won’t tell her. You can tell her that she had a narrowing of the colon.” Later in the hospital room, Annie asked Mark, “What did the doctor find?” Mark replied, “He found a narrowing colon.” “Am I going to be OK?” she said. Mark answered, “Yes, but it will take a while.”

Annie had one more surgery two months later in a futile attempt to extend her life. When Annie was admitted to the hospital for the last time, she was unaware that she was dying. One evening as Mark walked into her hospital room Annie said, “Could you please reschedule my appointment at the university? I will have to reschedule my appointment. I don’t think I will be well enough to go tomorrow.” Mark replied, “Okay, try to get some rest.” Annie closed her eyes, never to open them again?

 

Ethics Issue:

  1. Do you agree with Mark’s decision not to tell Annie about the seriousness of her illness?

  2. Should the physician have spoken to Annie as to the seriousness of her illness?

  3. Describe the ethical dilemmas in this case?

  4. Support your opinion with facts/sources.
