Federal Government

  Submit a 6-8 page research paper on either a piece of legislation, an executive order, or a Supreme Court case, enacted or decided since 2000 by the US federal government- The tool of policy that you chose must be active, meaning that it is a law that has been passed and is currently enforced, it is an executive order that has not been rescinded, or it is a Supreme Court case that has been decided and not overturned-     Analyze the example of governmental power/action of their choice by explaining the action to the best of their understanding and then putting the issue in context of the broader scope of government For starters, ask yourself, what does this action say about the power of the branch? How does it affect the power of the branch as given by the Constitution? How does this action affect the relationship between the acting branch and the other branches? Use these questions as a basis for your paper but expand on these ideas from there- Analysis is based on data and facts, not suppositions- Challenge yourself to present statistics or scholarly evidence to back up your analysis-
