POL111 POL/111 POL 111 Week 2 Discussion 2/DQ 2 Movie Time! Congress: How It Works {{LATEST}} Movie Time!
Congress: How it Works. Prepare: Prior to tackling this second discussion question, make a nice sandwich, grab a cold
drink, and watch our weekly movie, Congress: How it Works. Again, make sure you have the discussion questions
handy as your watch the movie so that you can take some notes and respond effectively to these questions. Also,
remember to utilize what you read in Chapters 5 to 7 in A Novel Approach to Politics. Reflect: The U.S. Congress is a
complex and diverse institution. The legislative branch is designed to perform many critical functions in the U.S. and this
branch of government must be flexible yet rigid at times. For example, Congress reorganizes itself every two years after
elections. The powers of Congress are varied and include enumerated and implied powers and very powerful
impeachment powers. These various powers are critical elements of the checks and balances provided in the
Constitution. Clear understanding of our legislative branch will broaden your understanding of how government
structures and institutions are designed and function. Write: In your initial post of at least 200 words, complete the
following: ? Explain the different functions that the U.S. Congress performs as discussed in the film. ? Explain why some
aspects of the U.S. Congress are democratic and some aspects are not democratic. Respond to Peers: By Day 7,
respond to at least two of your classmates' initial posts. Your peer responses each must be at least 75 words. As your
reply to your classmates, attempt to take the conversation further by examining their claims or arguments in more depth,
or responding to the posts that they make to you. Keep the discussion on target and try to analyze things in as much
detail as you can. For instance, you might consider comparing the democratic and undemocratic aspects you identified
in the Congress with those identified by a classmate. Contrast or compare the similarities or differences.
