Has Federalism in the USA evolved from Dual to Cooperative?
OVERVIEW
An important part of your study is to base research on scholarship past and present. For the Christian statesman, the added requirement is that the research incorporate the demands of Scripture. To both survey the relevant scholarship and the Scripture that informs it, researchers conduct reviews of scholarly materials to inform their research and to identify where their research fits within the framework of scholarship. Toward that end, the student will write a series of literature review papers that pertain to federalism and their chosen area of public policy.
INSTRUCTIONS
You will write a literature review papers pertaining to Has Federalism in the USA evolved from Dual to Cooperative? in Turabian Author-Date style: two short papers and one final literature review paper. The two short assignments will provide feedback on writing the final literature review paper. All papers will include a title page, body of paper, appendix, and list of references; the last literature review assignment will include an abstract.
In the field of federalism and intergovernmental relations, the Christian statesman needs to read leading works in the field with an aim of identifying key concepts related to federalism and evaluating those concepts from a Christian worldview. Toward that end, the purpose of the Book Review Assignment is to evaluate a leading work in the field of American federalism and place it in the framework of a Christian worldview that is informed by the framer’s views of human nature and limited government. To aid in that goal the Book Review Assignment will require that a set of “prompts” be answered from a point of view about the book. The response to these prompts should be thorough and demonstrate a mastery of the book’s content and the ability to evaluate the work from a Christian worldview.
INSTRUCTIONS
Write a book review for Exploring Federalism by Daniel Elazar that addresses and answers the following questions:
• How does Elazar’s model of federalism compare to other leading models we have encountered in the course thus far? Present a summary of Elazar’s model. Then contrast Elazar’s model with two other theories/models of federalism from the past three module’s assigned readings. Pick the two theories/models that you think are the most important rivals to Elazar’s.
• Is Elazar’s model of federalism the best model that we have reviewed so far in upholding a Christian worldview? If you agree, provide at least three reasons from scripture with support for each reason. If you disagree, do the same. One of your reasons for disagreeing could be that you think that another model does the job better. If that is true, state and describe the preferred model, along with why it is preferable.

President Barack Obama is my choice for the greatest President.
