in an essay of four (4) to five (5) pages, typed in size 12 Times New Roman fonts and double-spaced, respond to the following: In your own words, describe what Rossiter meant by “the American tradition.” Be specific. Rossiter delivered this address at a time (the 1950s) when, in his estimation, “The mood of this nation, which considers itself an eminent success and finds itself in imminent danger, is deeply conservative.” Are there parallels between the national mood of the 1950s and the national mood today? In other words, is Donald Trump’s call to “Make America Great Again” a call to return to “the American tradition”? What, if any, elements of the American tradition, as it was defined by Rossiter, are evident in Donald Trump’s agenda? Be specific. Is “the American tradition” even worth returning to? Why or why not? You must cite at least (3) scholarly or primary sources to support your arguments.    Here is a link to read.  Rossiter, The Shaping of the American Tradition.pdf (https://learn-us-east-1-prod-fleet01-xythos.content.blackboardcdn.com/blackboard.learn.xythos.prod/589ab7cf1b570/1351169?X-Blackboard-Expiration=1608336000000&X-Blackboard-Signature=ds9osMABrAoZEm0ElnqetBA2H67ijXK%2FGBUALVbAL%2F8%3D&X-Blackboard-Client-Id=306104&response-cache-control=private%2C%20max-age%3D21600&response-content-disposition=inline%3B%20filename%2A%3DUTF-8%27%27Rossiter%252C%2520The%2520Shaping%2520of%2520the%2520American%2520Tradition.pdf&response-content-type=application%2Fpdf&X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Date=20201218T180000Z&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&X-Amz-Expires=21600&X-Amz-Credential=AKIAYDKQORRYTKBSBE4S%2F20201218%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Signature=ff5a0c0c6af685d763a633a2c2f5edd3f2066e0fb40e3cc902444792c32491ad)

Was Russian authoritarianism inevitable?  Write an essay arguing either for the contingency or inevitability of Russian authoritarianism. Was Russia’s trajectory affected most by elite, institutional, or structural factors? Of these explanations, which is the most persuasive and why? To do this well, you will need to not only explain the arguments of all sides (and all three factors), but also provide the historical and/or political context for the explanation to showcase its logic. You’ll also need to explain (using evidence and logic) why your preferred explanation is the best one. I really need this essay done on time before the deadline. Thank you

Texas Executive Branch Assignment The governor of Texas is considered relatively weak by national standards. Texas has a plural executive, meaning voters elect a lot of the executive branch officials (comptroller, agriculture commissioner, land commissioner, lieutenant governor, attorney general, etc.) independently. The governor, therefore, has little control over the executive branch of state government, since the guys who run it mostly don’t report to him – they answer only to the voters. One area where the governor holds real power, though, is in the legislative process. The Texas Constitution allows the governor to call the state legislature into special session and gives him the sole power to set the session’s agenda. Bills on subjects not included in the governor’s “call” cannot be considered. The Constitution also allows the governor the power to veto bills passed by the legislature. While the legislature technically has the power to override his veto with a 2/3 vote, he generally vetoes bills after the legislature has adjourned – making the threat of an override meaningless. The Constitutional deadline for Governor Greg Abbott to veto bills passed by the last regular session of the Texas Legislature was Sunday, June 16, 2019.  Your assignment: Take a look at the bills vetoed by Governor Abbott in 2019 : https://capitol.texas.gov/Reports/Report.aspx?LegSess=86R&ID=vetoedbygov Pick three. Write one essay explaining what each bill did, why Governor Abbott vetoed it, and whether or not you agree with the governor’s decision. Submit this assignment in Microsoft Word. Cite your sources.  Additional Resources Governor Abbott’s official veto proclamations can be found on his website: http://gov.texas.gov/news/bills The Texas Tribune is always a good source of information. The left-leaning Dallas Observer had a lot to say about this year’s vetoes: https://www.dallasobserver.com/news/heres-what-texas-gov-greg-abbott-vetoed-this-session-11689556  (Links to an external site.)

Texas’ Legislative Reference Library has a website that lets you look at governors’ vetoes all the way back to 1846: http://www.lrl.state.tx.us/legis/vetoes/

Your exam should include the essay for Part I and four short answer responses for Part II.  (As much as possible, answers should be written in paragraph form, but I will be understanding if you have difficulty doing so within the required time.) The exam is open book.  However, you are not to collaborate or consult with other students on your responses to any questions.   Part I: Essay Question Your response should be at least three pages typed (double-spaced, font size 12). The following is a quote by late Canadian sociologist Howard Brotz arguing that Canada’s shared bourgeois (i.e. classically liberal) culture is much more fundamental than the cultural diversity that exists here: “In fact is Canadian society characterized by diverse ways of life where people have different standards of what they admire, respect, want?  The answer to this is yes and no.  In a fundamental or radical respect I categorically deny that there is any diversity at all.  Canadians of all ethnic groups, as in the United States, stand for exactly the same thing which is a bourgeois way of life… [The] democratic bourgeois man is a person who is tolerant of all other religions which do not violate a rational civil law; who is not a fanatic because he is primarily interested in improving his standard of living for himself and his family by working in an economy which satisfies these wants; and who has the political habits and practical common sense to support the regime which makes possible this way of life.” Write an essay explaining how three (or more, if you wish) authors from our course would be likely to respond to Brotz’ quote on the basis of readings we studied in this course.  Discuss (with supporting evidence from the readings) whether each author would agree or disagree in whole or in part with Brotz’ claims, and/or how he or she might qualify or expand upon them.  You MUST include at least one author from each of the following groups, but you are free to discuss additional authors if you like. A) Henri Bourassa, Gad Horowitz B) James Tully, Will Kymlicka, C) Charles Taylor, George Grant
