The reading summarizes powers granted by the Constitution - some powers are granted to the Federal government, some powers are granted to state and local governments, some powers are shared.

After reviewing the assigned material on these powers, choose one of the following topics to discuss: education reform, drug legalization, same-sex marriage licenses/laws, and gun laws.

These are each controversial issues of federalism that some believe should be in the hands of the federal or state government or even shared between the two. You need to analyze the strengths of these arguments:

For the ONE topic you choose (education, drug legalization, marriage licenses, or gun laws), make the case for why the power should be in the hands of the federal government, the state government, or a shared power based on the powers listed in the reading.

Be sure to include an example from the list of powers in the reading to support your position in why the power belongs with the federal or state government or shared power.

Your response should be approximately 750 words (2.5 to 3 pages in length).

In the Clean Air Act as amended, Congress allowed California, which has serious problems with air quality, to adopt its standards for emissions from cars and trucks, subject to the approval of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) according to certain standards. The Act also allowed other states to adopt California's standards after EPA approval.

In 2004, California adopted emissions standards for all new passenger vehicles and light-duty trucks sold in California beginning in 2009. The standards imposed decreasing limits on emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases (GHG) through 2016.

While EPA approval was pending, other states adopted the California standards. A group of industry associations, automakers, and new car dealerships filed suit to block state adoption of the standards (including California).

(a) Under the Environmental Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA), a designated federal agency sets fuel economy standards for new cars. The plaintiffs argued, among other things, that the EPCA, which explicitly prohibits states from adopting separate fuel economy standards, preempts states from adopting their emission standards. Is the plaintiff's argument valid? Discuss.

(b) Do the state emissions rules impose on the efforts of the federal government to address global warming internationally? Who should regulate GHGs, the states or the federal government? Both? Neither? Discuss.

(c) The plaintiffs also argued that they would go bankrupt if they were forced to adhere to a different GHG standard for each state. Should they be granted relief on this basis? Does history support their claim? Discuss.

Episode 3: Justice for the Poor - Youtube

Discussion Question to Students: In the video Stephen Grabill noted, "God affirms private property. He gives us boundary markers, mile markers, stones that mark one person's property from another person's property." Think about this: You cannot be generous with somebody else's stuff. You can only be generous with your stuff, which means its has to be your own property that you give away." Why would God care about private property? Is his concern connected to the role he has given us as stewards of creation?

Academic Honesty

Students must attest that all material must be of their own authorship, and when quoting another source or referring to another person’s work, a reference should be made in the appropriate manner.

Discussion Forums

Students are required to participate in the all discussion forums. Participation requires, at a minimum, an original response to the discussion question as well as one or more replies to the postings of other students. Discussion forums represent the facilitation of concept discussion during a regular classroom session. It provides the opportunity for students to interact with each other regarding a concept. The typical process of a threaded discussion is as follows:

The instructor will provide a PovertyCure episode discussion question.

Students will respond to the instructor’s post by submitting a response (at least 100 words) that answers the question or describes the concept of their choosing. As you create your response, be sure to reference information from the PovertyCure episode viewed for this discussion forum. The initial post of each student should conclude with a critical thinking question that will spur further discussion by other students.

Student responses to other students should begin by naming the individual to whose post you are responding, along with one sentence that summarizes his/her point. This way, a person reading your post will understand to whom you are responding. Students must respond to at least one (1) other student. Responds should be at least 50 words in length.

Other students will read the initial post and the follow-up posts and then respond to the question embedded in the student's response with critical thinking and another leading question. As students respond to each other, the thread of discussion builds throughout the week.

Students should submit their initial post within 48 hours of watching the PovertyCure episode in class. Responses to the initial posts by other students should happen within one work (168 hours) of the initial post deadline.

The faculty member will step in from time to time to support, clarify, or further facilitate the discussion.
