Instructiоn- Select 1 essаy prоmpt frоm the prompts below. Answer the entire question, аnd do not include extrаneous information. Be specific! Do not waste time and space writing lengthy introductions or conclusions – proceed immediately to the point. Your answer also needs to be comprehensive, and engage with the relevant theories/literature covered in the class. Prompt: 1. What role does each of the branches of government typically play in a democracy? How do the various branches check and balance each other? How is this different in a presidential system versus a parliamentary system? How does each system handle the idea of separation of powers? Why do certain states adopt bicameral legislatures and how does having a bicameral legislative structure adds to the check and balance system within the legislature and across the other branches of government? Make sure to be specific about the functions of each branch of government, the types of checks and balances, how these checks and balances differ, and how the separation of power is handled in presidential vs parliamentary systems. 2. A hypothetical Country is incredibly diverse. There are over one hundred languages spoken and at least five major religions practiced among this Country’s citizens. Recently, conflict has erupted in the south, with certain groups of language-speakers who share the same religion claiming discrimination, and demanding independence from the state. In economic terms, the south of this Country is doing better than the rest of it, so the leaders have proposed to change the constitution to a federal arrangement. How can you explain these dynamics to an outside observer in terms of ethnic identities, national conflict, and the potential for federalism to solve this Country’s problems? 3. To what extent do economic, cultural, and institutional factors interact to determine the survival of democratic and authoritarian regimes? Analyze this interplay using specific theoretical frameworks and real-world examples from both democratic and non-democratic systems. Consider the influence of modernization, cultural values, resource dependency, and institutional design in shaping regime trajectories.
