general, the papers should begin with a review of the concept of Federalism – hint, Federalism is a system of government in which there is more than one level of government over the same people, the same land, at the same time. In our system of Federalism, we have the national government in Washington D.C., the state government in Atlanta, the county government in Tift, and the local government in Tifton. Overall, provide me with an overview of Federalism and how the system is “supposed” to work in America. At a minimum, make sure to include a definition of the system, an explanation of why we have a system of Federalism rather than an alternative, and why this system makes an important impact on American pFinally, the student should relate the topics of Federalism and change in Georgia politics by comparing and contrasting one branch of the national government to one branch of Georgia state government. If you choose the executive branch, compare the office of President to the office of Georgia Governor. If you choose the legislative branch, compare the Congress to the Georgia State Legislature. If you choose the judicial branch, compare the Supreme Court system to the Georgia state court system. Students will find it helpful to “look ahead” in the PowerPoint notes to gather information about their chosen national branch – all the information you will need about its Georgia counterpart can be found in your Njoroge/Schmeisser book.
The paper should conclude by employing these concepts to briefly argue whether the national government or state government ought be more empowered to make political decisions for Georgia citizens. Be creative and have fun here, it will make your paper more useful and enjoyable (and just might help your grade too).
