Write an essay about voter ignorance. Is voter ignorance a serious problem? Why or why not? To what extent does it affect federal politics and policy? To the extent that it is a problem, are there practical and feasible things that can be done to improve the situation? What would those be? Consider also: What are the most important things that voters should know about the federal politics and policy? As you discuss these issues, make sure you engage with the “rational ignorance” idea – i.e., the idea that, because there is a miniscule chance that one’s vote will tip an election, it is irrational for people to expend effort to learn about politics and government in order to make a better, more informed vote. (See Johnson, pp. 20-22. Kernell et al., Chapter 11, also discusses the concept. Note that the same idea undergirds the idea of “rational abstention” (from voting); but this essay assignment is about voter knowledge, not about voter turnout in elections.) There are no explicitly right or wrong answers to these questions.

Go to the Library of Congress website. Find a piece of legislation on a topic of interest to you. In your own words, report what you found. Identify a bill by name and number. Who is the sponsor of this bill? When and what was the last action taken on this bill? If this bill has already passed both houses and signed by the President, when did it become law? Is there a public law number? Briefly, tell us, in your own words, what this proposed legislation is about. Provide a direct link to this bill/law. Then, see if you can find this same bill on the govtrack.us website. Is there any additional useful information that you can find on this site?.For more information on American Social Policy read this:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_policy

In this first part of our discussion board, each of you is going to choose a theory that is discussed in chapter three of the book. It can be realism, liberalism, radicalism, or constructivism (the reason I’ve not included feminism is that it’s more of a critique of the other theories rather than a standalone theory of its own). You can choose whichever one you want. You shouldn’t need anything other than the book and the videos in Module 2 to do this assignment, but you can also use other internet sources if you would like, so long as they are reputable. Ideally, please post your response below rather than uploading it as a word document/PDF, since that’s harder for your classmates to read. I would like you to compose a 300-500 word post that summarizes the following about your theory: 1) What are the basics of your theory? What does your theory think are the most important things to pay attention to in international relations? What is the role of the state in your theory? 2) What do you find compelling about your theory? What makes it believable? 3) What do you find unbelievable or unrealistic about your theory? You can score up to 20 points based on your use of evidence, the thoroughness and accuracy of your answer, and your correct usage of grammar/spelling.
