Use specific examples to make your point. 3. Exam Essays - Choose 1 (One) and turn n day of exam ESSAY 1. In the United States Congress, the majority party exerts a substantial influence over lawmaking. However, even when one party has a numerical majority in each chamber of the United States Congress, there is no guarantee that legislation supported by that majority party will be passed by both chambers. Rules of each chamber independently influence the likelihood that legislation will pass in that chamber; legislation passed by one chamber is not always passed by the other. (2009) Guidelines a. Describe two advantages the majority party in the United States House of Representatives has in lawmaking, above and beyond the numerical advantage that the majority party enjoys in floor voting. b. Describe two differences between House and Senate rules that may make it likely that legislation may pass in one chamber but not in the other. c. Explain how the differences identified in (b) can lead to the passage of a bill in one chamber but not in the other. d. In conclusion, do you think this is a good way to make all voices heard in making legislation? Would you suggest changes in the system? ESSAY 2. In the United States, the Electoral College actually elects the president and vice president. Supporting this, some suggest that a candidate is forced to campaign and address the needs of people all over the country, not just the west coast, the northeast, Texas and Florida. In other words, people suggest that a candidate could ignore states such as Tennessee, Ohio, and Maryland and just concentrate on California, New York and New England, and add Florida just to make sure. Those opposed to continuing the electoral college simply state that voters should be heard clearly and without a "roadblock" being set up. Both sides look at the 2016 election, in which Hillary Clinton won the popular vote primarily by wide margins in New York and California. Those supporting the Electoral system say that both candidates needed to campaign everywhere, those opposed say people vote not regons. Which argument do you support? Guidelines a. Describe how the Electoral College works, using the vocabulary words "plurality", "winner-take-all" and "majority", and describe exactly how the number of electoral votes is calculated. b. Using web sources, provide opinions supporting and opposing the Electoral College. c. stablish your own opinion on this issue. d. If it's possible, develop a compromise between the two sides. To give you an idea, look at this proposal: Electoral College Compromise, Look at the Last 4 Paragraphs,. Essay is due the day of your exam. |
