OVERVIEW
After reviewing the Learn sections from the first two modules, you will write a 2–4-page research paper evaluating not only the balance of power in America’s federal system, but also its structure. To that end, you will develop an argument for or against this structure, why it may or may not be important. With this in mind, consider what you now think the role of government should be.
