Part I: Answer four questions based on chapters 7-9 of your American Government

Part I: Answer four questions based on chapters 7-9 of your American Government textbook and class discussions. These questions focus on the roles of the House Rules Committee and the Conference Committee in lawmaking, the differences and unique powers of the House of Representatives and the Senate, the powers and limitations of the presidency, and the powers of the judiciary within the system of checks and balances.
Part II: Answer five questions based on the essay “Why is the Constitution Not Democratic?” by Dennis Hale and Marc Landy. These questions explore themes like the intentionally slow process of lawmaking, the constraints on majoritarian rule by the Constitution, the concept of stable versus ephemeral majorities, and a historical example illustrating the impact of democratic deliberation.
Part III: Reflect on the course content, discussing two or three key insights you gained about American government and specify an aspect of American government you wish to explore further.
