vulnerable; you must define that problem. Also, in your detailed discussion of Madisons
remedies, be sure to explain how the cause of this political problem is central to its solution.

A critical discussion of 2-3 key issues raised in the article. This section is the core of your review. You need to make clear the author's own argument before you criticize and evaluate it. Also, you must support your criticisms with evidence from the text or from other writings.

Election Campaign
Scenario: Following a decennial census, your state has been redistricted. You are campaigning to be elected as Representative of a new seat added to the U.S. House of Representatives for your state. Currently, the House of Representatives has scheduled to meet in a few months to discuss a proposal for "free education" for everyone in your state by increasing taxes on all small businesses and self-employed citizens to 95% of their total income. Your new district is comprised primarily of just small businesses and a few self-employed "mom and pop" start up projects. This new proposed tax would decimate (wipe out) your community. How will you get elected? What is your slogan? What are the issues on which you will campaign? And most importantly, if elected, how will you represent your people in the House of Representatives?
a. Research the issue of "free education"
b. If elected, what is your plan for education? How do plan to protect small businesses a

Military Chaplaincy (Should all chaplains (regardless of personal convictions) be required to service people of different faiths?)
Public Education (Should all science teachers instruct students only in evolutionary theory?)
Free Speech/Hate Speech (Should Christians no longer be allowed to proclaim that a certain religious belief is wrong or that a certain activity is morally sinful?)

Should the National Security Agency have unlimited access to all email, cell phone conversations, Internet activity, and digital data of every U.S. citizen? Should the U.S. government be allowed to remote access webcams to 'spot check' citizens for potential terrorist activity? How much access should the government have and what freedoms should be protected against intrusion?
The content of your project should include the following:
1) summarize the issue (research your topic)
2) explain your position (why is it important to you; what are the dangers of taking a different position)
3) suggest a course of action (what is the best way to address both concerns: enough security to be safe yet giving citizens freedom and privacy)
