301 Topic 1 DQ 1
In 1787,
the Constitution was drafted with a Preamble to explicitly state that the
origins of power in this new democracy resided not with a king, but with the
people. “We the People” has generally evolved over the years to include more
than it did in the late 18th Century. In your opinion, are there
still groups who are disenfranchised and are not considered as an equal source
of power in our democracy?

In 2013,
the Supreme Court struck down as unconstitutional the Defense of Marriage Act
(DOMA) which was passed by Congress. Would this be an example of checks and
balances between the legislative and judicial branches? Should the U.S. Supreme
Court, a nonelected body, have the power to make such decisions on acts passed

301 Topic 3 DQ 1
Federalism
results from the interaction between the different layers of government. Many
issues are discussed not in terms of right and wrong, but who is responsible
for addressing the issue. Immigration has long been a federal issue. However,
in 2010 the state of Arizona passed a controversial bill (Senate Bill 1070)
that essentially gave power to the state to implement immigration law. Several
sections of this bill were deemed unconstitutional by the United States Supreme
Court. This situation is a prime example of the conflict federalism can create.
Please provide your opinion on immigration within the context of federalism.
