POL201 FINAL PAPER (TOPIC IS Controlled Substance Act (1970)

Final Paper Assignment

The primary goal of your final assignment is to critically analyze  the specific topic you have chosen regarding American national  government.

You have been preparing for this final assignment each week by  constructing an Annotated Bibliography (Week 2) and a detailed outline  of the Final Paper’s main points (Week 3) in which you focused on the  following:

• Historical and constitutional basis for the American Government’s structure
• The system of checks and balances
• The various roles (e., public opinion, media, special interest groups, etc.) concerning public policy and elections
• The voting system and election process.

In addition, you have read the course text and course readings,  reviewed videos, and researched additional material for each week’s  assignments and this paper. This week, you will put all of those  outlines, readings, reviews, and research together to evaluate  policymaking and government program administration into one Final Paper.

As we wrap up our course, reflect on what you have learned about the  key structures, systems, roles, and processes that embody our national  government. Think about 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 a specific  policy of our national government and recommend ways to enhance what  works and repair what is not working well. It is important that your  Final Paper utilizes your previous research and assignments, including  the feedback that you received from the Ashford Writing Center in Week  4. The assignment should also showcase what you have learned in the  course. While your previous assignments will serve as a strong base for  this assignment, it is very important that you implement feedback from  your instructor and the Ashford Writing Center, as well as further  expand on the material. Appropriate transitions and headings are needed  to ensure a cohesive Final Paper.
