• POL 201 Week 1 DQ 2 Amending the U.S. Constitution

• POL 201 Week 2 DQ 1 Policy-making in the Federal
  System

• Amending the U.S. Constitution. The formal
  process of amending the Constitution is
  cumbersome and slow. While this fact explains why
  relatively few amendments have been adopted, it
  does not discourage advocates of constitutional
  change from proposing them.

• Policy-making in the Federal System. The U.S.
  government's expansive role in public policy is
  caught in a swirl of conflicting cross-currents.

  framers of the Constitution did not envision such
  presidential leadership.
