You’ve likely heard arguments about changing the term limits for House members (making them longer); putting a limit on the number of terms a person can hold; or placing age limits on holding House seats (i.e., you cannot be elected to the House if you’re over the age of XX). Think for a bit about the constituency represented in the House, and the fact that the House is designed to be responsive to popular will. Create an argument in which you explain, in detail, how apportionment, single member districts, and gerrymandering impact representation. In your conclusion, explain whether you think the proposed changes (changing terms for House limits, age limits, etc.) would be sufficient to address challenges to representation. Remember, this isn’t an opinion piece. You’re using academic language to make argumentative statements, you’re using your readings to provide support for those statements, and you’re using real world examples to “show” your reader that something is true (rather than just telling them). Your reflection must follow all mandated guidelines detailed in the syllabus. You must parenthetically cite each of the weekly readings at least twice in your reflection using correct APSA formatting. Your reflection must be submitted in 5-paragraph essay format. Your reflection must be a minimum of 30 sentences. 

Describe a scenario discussed in the lecture in which beneficence and non-maleficence suggest different actions, and explain how liability concerns influence provider behavior.  Please note that this response should be 3-5 sentences in length.
