<strong><strong>POL</strong><strong>201</strong></strong> <strong>POL</strong>/<strong>201</strong> <strong>POL</strong> <strong>201</strong> <strong>Week</strong> 1 Discussion/DQ 1 <strong>The</strong> U.S. <strong>Constitution</strong> ((<strong>latest</strong>)) Prepare: Prior to writing your initial<br />
post, read Chapters 1 and 2 of American Government and review the <strong>Week</strong> One Instructor Guidance. Reflect: <strong>The</strong> U.S.<br />
<strong>Constitution</strong> is the cornerstone of our federal government. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Constitution</strong> establishes a basic operational framework<br />
that enables the three branches of government executive, legislative, and judicial to interact and function as a unit.<br />
Embedded in this operational framework are two key principles: separation of powers and a system of checks and<br />
balances. Think about how these branches interact and the importance of these checks and balances and separation of<br />
powers. Write: In your initial post, explain why the separation of powers and the system of checks and balances are<br />
important for our democracy. Provide recent, real-world examples of the separation of powers and checks/balances in<br />
action (one example each). Also, discuss how the <strong>Constitution</strong> protects individual and group rights. Again, provide a<br />
recent real-world example of these <strong>Constitution</strong>al protections being applied here in the U.S. Fully respond to all parts of<br />
the prompt and write your response in your own words. Your initial post must be at least 300 words. Support your<br />
position with at least two of the assigned resources required for this discussion, and/or peer reviewed scholarly sources<br />
obtained through the AU Library databases. Include APA in-text citations in the body of your post and references at the<br />
end. Support your position with APA citations from two or more of the assigned resources required for this discussion.<br />
Please be sure that you demonstrate understanding of these resources, integrate them into your argument, and cite<br />
them properly. Respond to Peers: By Day 7, respond to at least two of your classmates' initial posts. Your peer<br />
responses should be substantive and at least 100 words each. Demonstrate your understanding of the topic by<br />
respectfully asking questions, raising new points for consideration, or requesting clarification from your fellow students.<br />
For example, you may want to compare your real-world examples to those of your classmates and see how they are<br />
similar or different and discuss why. Carefully review the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric for the criteria that will be<br />
used to evaluate this Discussion Thread.<br />
