Please give me your thoughts on the following topics. You don’t have to write 300 words on each question posted. You just need to have 300 words total when you are finished with all questions combined. Don’t forget that Microsoft has a word counter on each Word file at the bottom.
(1) To begin, please introduce yourself to the class. Also post your major, short/long term life goals, and your opinion as to the biggest issue facing America today.
(2) Our democracy was structured in a way that no branch would become enormously more powerful than the other. The legislative branch makes the law, the executive branch enforces the law, and the judiciary interprets the law.
In your opinion, which branch is the strongest?
***Be mindful that the executive branch contains arguably the most powerful person in the world (U.S. President); the legislative branch can write new laws that we have to follow; and the judiciary contains the Supreme Court which can strike down any law with a simple majority decision.
(3) The U.S. Legislature is not subject to term or age limits. A House of Representatives or Senate member may serve as long as the people vote them in. Some people believe elections serve as term limits, meaning if citizens are dissatisfied, then they have the option of voting unpopular candidates out. We have had House and Senate members serving in their 90s! I hope I’m alive and feisty in my 90s!
In your opinion, should your legislators be subject to term or age limits?
