US government questions, political science homework help

The primary
goal of your last assignment is to critically analyze the primary
features of the American national government. The results of your
analysis will indicate what you have learned over the last five weeks.
In order to accomplish this task, it is important to critically evaluate
the key facets of our American democracy.

You have been preparing
for this final assignment each week by constructing a detailed outline
of the Final Paper’s main points through the weekly Learning
Activities. In addition, you have read the course text and course
readings, reviewed videos, and researched additional material for each
week’s assignments and for this paper. This week, you will put all of
those outlines, readings, reviews, and research together into a one
summative paper.

As we wrap up our course, reflect back on what
you have learned about the key structures, systems, roles, and
processes that embody our national government. Focus on the strengths
and weaknesses, advantages and disadvantages, and positive and negative
impacts of these aspects of our democracy. Use what you have learned so
far to evaluate our national government and recommend ways to enhance
what works and repair what is not working well. It is important to
understand that this paper is not simply a cut and paste of your four
Learning Activities. While the research you have completed can serve as
a strong base it is important that you implement any comments from the
instructor, as well as further expand on the material. Appropriate
transitions and headings are needed to ensure a cohesive paper.
