Assignment 1
In the United States, each political party writes a platform. The definition of a party platform is, “is a list of the principles which a political party supports in order to appeal to the general public for the purpose of having said party’s candidates voted into office. This often takes the form of a list of support for, or opposition to, controversial topics. Individual topics are often called planks of the platform.”
I have posted the most recent party platforms for the Republican and Democrat parties. If you would like to use a different political party, please feel free to do so, but email me the party’s platform so I can properly evaluate your answers. Your assignment is to review one political party platform and identify the following:
1. Identify 10 beliefs or planks for the political party you have chosen
2. Select one belief or plank and describe what it means; 3-4 sentences should be adequate
3. Select a current member of the political party you have chosen and explain how this person supports one plank of the party platform. An elected official may include a U.S. Senator, a U.S. Representative or the current president. Be sure that the party platform you chose for #1 is the same one you use to select an official.
Assignment 2
You are going to make a prediction about the 2016 Presidential Election. Using the website, http://www.270towin.com/, I would like you to select your preferred winner – the next President of the United States. Then, using the map on the website, go through all 50 states and tell me if your candidate wins that state or if the other candidate wins that state.
When you go to the website, you’ll need to scroll down a little to see the map of the U.S. with red, blue and grayish colored states. If you click on the state, you will change it’s color and subsequently change the number of electoral votes for the candidates. Remember, for a candidate to win the election in November, he/she needs to earn 270 Electoral College votes – these are different for each state. You can explore the website and go back to previous election years (2012, 2008, 2004, 2000, etc) to see the history of how a state has voted in the Presidential election. This may help you make your predictions and explain why. Here is an example of what I am looking for:
Illinois – Historically Democratic state so I think it will go to Clinton. The state has 20 Electoral College votes.
(go through all 50 states with brief explanations)
At the bottom of your analysis, put the total and your predicted winning candidate
