We have spent significant time analyzing six democratic principles that are established in our founding documents and how they are at being applied to a present day issue. To reflect on and use what you have learned, please consider other current issues or challenges that our country is facing and discuss how one of the six democratic principles (limited government, popular sovereignty, checks and balances, separation of powers, equal protection, federalism) is being applied to that issue.
In responding to this post, you must (in paragraph form): Explain a present day issue in our country. Reference a specific current event article that you have used to better understand the issue you have chosen (provide a link to your article so others can read it if they want to learn more). Show how one or more of the democratic principles is demonstrated in the example you have chosen (Please pick a principle that is different than the one you focused on in class). This blog response will be worth a five point homework grade for history.
