Discussion question options: Over the past several decades, some states have introduced policies that make it easier to vote (e.g. mail-in ballots), whereas others have implemented restrictions (e.g. requiring photo ID to vote). In general, which type of policies do you support?  Why? Twenty-seven US states, including California, have some form of direct democracy, where citizens vote directly on policy. There are many proponents and critics of this process; do you think it is beneficial or harmful to allow citizens to vote directly on policy, rather than their views being represented by elected officials? With $6.8 billion spent in 2016 in federal elections, many often decry the large amount of money spent in American electoral campaigns. Do you believe this is a problem? Why or why not?

Please choose one of the following questions and react to it briefly in the discussion boards. When you submit an answer, please begin by pasting the question you are responding to in the text field. Then write your answer below. Discussion question options: Federal justices serve on the bench “during good Behaviour,” typically meaning until they resign, retire, or pass away. Some have proposed a number of modifications to this, including rotating 18-year terms, staggered such that vacancies are uniform across time. Do you believe justices should have rotating, fixed terms? Why or why not? Federal justices are appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate, so voters have no direct say in who is selected. However, many state courts (like Texas) use competitive elections to select judges, while other states (like California) hold retention elections where the governor first appoints a justice and voters then decide in the next election if they want that individual to continue on. Which selection method do you think is superior? Should justices be elected or appointed? How might these mechanisms change their decisions?The power of “special interests” in DC is often decried by many. Do you believe that interest groups have too much power in the United States? Why or why not? If you believe they have too much power, how could this be addressed?

Check to make sure your paper properly uploaded. The importance of tactical intelligence as it relates to climate and terrain is abundantly clear when examining the conjunction of a commander’s desire to establish speed and tempo in combat operations and the limitations of climate/weather and terrain that are imposed on the commander.Using the required reading on Germany’s experience with the effects of climate/weather on combat operations in Russia, examine the concepts of speed and tempo (from earlier readings in this class) and how these were affected by weather and climate. How are speed and tempo different and how are they utilized? What effects does weather and climate have on speed and tempo? Provide specific examples of why tactical intelligence on climate/weather/terrain is crucial to providing the information necessary for the commander’s decision-making.In the final analysis, could Germany’s strategic failure been avoided by better intelligence on weather, climate, and terrain in European Russia?Citation for the attached reading: Center for Military History, The Effects of Climate on Combat in European Russia.
