For this assignment I want you to pick one topic from the list below.

The United States does not elect the President with a popular vote. Instead, the President is chosen by the electoral college.
Form an argument either for or against using the electoral college to elect the President.

Make sure to cover these topics / concepts in your paper.

Define the electoral college.
Why did the founders feel the need for this system for electing the President?
Explain the fairness or unfairness of the electoral college.
What is the process for abolishing the electoral college?

Currently our Constitution only has term limits for the office of the president. Members of Congress can be re-elected over and over with some members serving for several decades. Some have called for term limits for members of the Senate and House of Representatives. Others claim that elections are a form of term limits because the voters have a say in who should represent them in Congress.
However, as we have learned the re-election rate for Congress is extremely high which demonstrates the strength of incumbency. For this topic, argue for or against term limits in Congress. Consider these points:

Many members of Congress are well past the age of retirement for other government jobs and private sector jobs.
Would term limits create a stream of persons who do not have experience in government?
Why do members of Congress get re-elected at such high rates?

What are the functions, characteristics and importance of political parties here in the United States? Consider these points:
Discuss the history of political parties in the United States
What is the difference between a two-party system and multiparty system?
Do political parties hurt or help democracy? ? (Document your response!)
