PART 1 In Federalist Paper 78, Alexander Hamilton famously labeled the judiciary as the “least dangerous branch.” After reading the following excerpt, discuss which one of the three branches of the federal government, between the Legislature, the Executive or the Judiciary, truly is the “least dangerous.” Or, if you would prefer, discuss which one of the three branches is the most powerful. I CHOSE THE LEIGSLATIVE AS THE MOST POWERFUL. Here is the excerpt: Whoever attentively considers the different departments of power must perceive, that, in a government in which they are separated from each other, the judiciary, from the nature of its functions, will always be the least dangerous to the political rights of the Constitution; because it will be least in a capacity to annoy or injure them. The Executive not only dispenses the honors, but holds the sword of the community. The legislature not only commands the purse, but prescribes the rules by which the duties and rights of every citizen are to be regulated. The judiciary, on the contrary, has no influence over either the sword or the purse; no direction either of the strength or of the wealth of the society; and can take no active resolution whatever. It may truly be said to have neither FORCE nor WILL, but merely judgment; and must ultimately depend upon the aid of the executive arm even for the efficacy of its judgments. Given the experience you have now had with the form and structure of legal writing including issue identification and reasoned argument backed by authority, please re-write your original post to demonstrate how you would improve it. Remember that effective legal writing relies on good form to advance an argument by: Being clear on the issue you are addressing Showing how you intend to address the issue and why Drawing on authority to refute or to support your thinking Providing a logical and clear conclusion PART 2 Before starting this exam, please read Jeffrey Rosen, “What if We Wrote the Constitution Today?” The Atlantic (December 8, 2020) available at https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/12/what-if-we-could-rewrite-constitution/617304/ . Your final exam is a one-sentence question. Do not let the simplicity of this question fool you. I expect a thoughtful, considered response. Your response is limited to 400 words. Start your response by clearly setting forth why a proposed Amendment is necessary. You can only propose one change. You will be graded on the clarity of your ideas and familiarity with the U.S. constitutional structure to support why change is necessary, i.e. it is not enough to say that the change would make for a more just society. You need to show how the present system cannot meet this need. Keep your ideas and your writing simple. You will also be graded on the feasibility of your Amendment. Is it workable? Have you thought through the details? Again, keep your ideas and your writing simple. Finally, you will be graded on how persuasively (including with authority) you support your ideas. Why this one change? What makes your proposal worthy of inclusion in our Constitution? Keep your arguments focused on reason not emotion. FINAL EXAM QUESTION: Your response is limited to 400 words. If you could propose one Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, what would it be and why? Please provide the text of your proposed amendment at the beginning of your essay. This will not be counted in your 400 words. Note: Your proposed Amendment must be related to information we covered in class. You must support your Amendment with information related to what we discussed in class.
