POS1041 TEST LATEST UPDATE
in Federalist #10, how does Madison define factions? What are some examples of
factions today? Do you think Madison's fears that he expressed here have come about?
Why/why not? - Answer In Federalist #10 Madison describes a faction by every social
setting having people with different interest. There a group within a group with conflict.
Madison had the assumption that thee idea of factions would cause people to only care
about individuals in your group rather than the entire population. He feared that the
power of factions would dominate the country. A good example in today's society is the
way republicans and democrats wage out the third party candidates during primaries.
Please discuss at least two current issues related to civil rights. In doing so, please
explain why each issue is a civil rights issue (don't confuse a civil rights issue with a civil
liberties issue!). Then discuss why you think it is important and mention any policies that
are or should be associated with it. - Answer One of the most famous and far-reaching
class action suits was Brown v. Board of Education which was a about Linda Brown of
Topeka, Kansas who sued her local board of education on behalf of herself and all the
other black kids who were forced to attend segregated schools. They decided in this
case that black people were allowed to attend the same schools as whites and it
officially ended segregation in public schools, they ruled "separate but equal". I would
have ruled the same thing in this case, since this was psychologically messing with the
children's heads being separated and mostly it was effecting the black students making
them not feel as if they were good enough or could amount to anything in the future.
Another civil rights issue is Plessy v. Feurguson this issue upholding the
constitutionality of state laws requiring racial segregation in public facilities under the
doctrine of "separate but equal" which explained that you could have 2 different
facilities as long as they were both equal. However the people in charge were a board of
all white males and they decided what each facility got to look like. I think this is a
monumental case as well because the separate but equal doctrine under the 14th
amendment embraced life in the south. This is no longer a problem, we do not have
spate facilities however at that time they could have had a mutual man in charge
ensuring facilities were actually equal, but at a time like that it was difficult since the
majority wanted blacks to have the bottom of the barrel.
Discuss the process of electing the President of the United States. In doing so, please
make sure that you include the entire process from the announcement to the end of the
election. - Answer The President and Vice-President are elected every four years. They
must be at least 35 years of age, they must be native-born citizens of the United States,
and they must have been residents of the U.S. for at least 14 years. Elections start with
the proclamation, then primaries when we decide who will run in the general election.
People in each party decide during primaries and the key is to target the median voter
because the theory is once you capture the majority of the middle you will win the
general election however you have to get through the primaries first. This is when the
party nominees run against each other. Then once you get the delegates in each state
