Federalism: Differences across our States Across the various states with the U.S., we can see remarkable level of policy and political differences that many other countries would not permit. In this essay, explain why and how our system of federalism permits such glaring differences in policies and political practices between the states.  Be sure to discuss the U.S. Constitution principles raised in our text that permit such differences and also how differences reflect the different political nature of the states. Why is it important or advantageous to our political system to have differences in state policies? What sorts of differences are harder to justify and can be strongly objected to? Conclude by arguing whether such differences strengthen or weaken our U.S. democracy. Put the phrase “the states heard their call” at the end of the first paragraph. Length: 300-400 words in length (about 1.25 to 1.5 pages, double spaced). Do not forget to cite our texts and  lectures.

States as Key Policy Players Our readings, video lectures and many of the news stories posted by students show the extent to which states are the critical “players” in US politics in recent decades.  Begin this essay by describing 2-4 core issues that show how important states are to people lives and liberty.  Using our main text as a guide, then explain the recent developments in national politics and in the courts that have empowered states to be more important.  In other words, what changed in the US to strengthen state policy roles (or that weakened the national government’s role)?  Conclude with a discussion of whether this is beneficial or disruptive for carrying out policy that the national government wants to pursue. Put the phrase “The states heard their concern.” at the end of the first paragraph. Length: 300-400 words in length (about 1.25 to 1.5 pages, double spaced).

In Zimbardo’s Stanford Prison Experiment, college students were randomly assigned to be “guards” or “prisoners” in a simulated prison environment. Within days, guards began displaying abusive behavior, and prisoners showed signs of extreme stress, leading to the study’s early termination. What was one of the major conclusions drawn from this study?
