Your initial post should be at least 250 words, You should then respond to 3 or more posts (which i will upload later, of 100 words each).

This can be accomplished by

· Validating with additional evidence from the literature.

· Posing a thoughtful question with commentary which generates further discussion.

· Providing an alternative point-of-view, with evidence and examples.

· Offering additional insight into how the concept might be understood, with evidence provided with real world examples.

You should be active in the classroom throughout the week and actively engaged in the back-and-forth discussion between your colleagues and the professor. The forum grading rubric can be reviewed by clicking on the blue and white box beside the forum entry in the gradebook.

In this forum please examine the Supreme Court’s use of judicial review. One reason the Supreme Court is unique is the practice of judicial review. Judicial review is the power of a court to decide the constitutionality of laws or of the acts of a government official. In other words, the Court’s power of “judicial review” refers to its authority to review laws and executive action and strike them down when it deems them unconstitutional. This power insures that the Court is well positioned to protect individual rights and to apply the Constitution to new situations as they arise.

In 1803, Marbury v. Madison made clear this power of judicial review. Please be sure to review the lesson for week 2 where you will see a thorough outline of Marbury v. Madison and more explanation of judicial review.

In the decision, Chief Justice John Marshall wrote that it was the duty of the Supreme Court to strike down unconstitutional laws. Ironically, the practice of judicial review is not outlined in the Constitution, but the Court is expected to assume this role.

Hamilton argued that judicial review made sure that the people, through the Constitution, would have power over legislatures. Madison argued that independent judges would be more appropriate arbiters of the Constitution than the chaos and factionalism of the political process.

Do you think it is a problem for the Court to have such an immense power even though it is not specifically granted to them in the Constitution? If the origins of judicial review are not found in the Constitution, what grants the Court this power? Did the framers intend the Supreme Court to possess the power of judicial review?

How has the Court done with this role of exercising judicial review? Please choose one of these three recent cases cases involving judicial review. Review the summary of the case at the link below and discuss in your initial forum post how the Court exercised judicial review specifically in this case and if you believe it was a proper execution of this power.

With respect to Assignment 1 attached below, each State has its own statutes (laws), regulations and policies; especially with respect to liens. Liens are discussed fully in your textbook for Chapter 4. For purposes of your Assignment 1, you should be concerned about Private Encumbrances beginning on page 88. As with each State, Maryland’s laws regarding perfecting materialmen’s or mechanics liens are very prescriptive. These liens are imposed by Maryland law on real property to secure payment for work performed or materials furnished for the construction, repair, alteration or improvements on real property. As an assistance to you, in order to find the appropriate Maryland law that is cited in No. 1 of Assignment 1, you can not only go to the library to look at the specific statute where you are directed in No. 1, you can also research the specific law on various websites, including www.mlis.state.md.us and navigating through the page for the Real Property statute, but you can also perform a search with the terms that are requested in the question.

Because this may be a new dynamic for many of you, understand that the specific statutory citations begin in the Real Property Article, Sections 9-101 through 9-114. Look at the specific question asked to find the answers in the statute as requested.

Please respond to the following two inquiries. At least 1-2 page essay for these 2 topics

1. Maryland’s mechanic’s/materialmen’s lien law can be found in the Maryland Annotated Code, Real Property Article, Title 9. From Maryland real property law: a) List the claimants entitled to file a mechanic’s lien or materialmen’s lien claim; b) List the requirements for a claim of lien; c) List the requirements for foreclosing a mechanic’s or materialmen’s lien.

2. Research the internet to determine what information Maryland Counties or Baltimore City makes available about real property taxes. List the information and URL or website that such information is available online to the public.

Constitution Short Essay Assignment

There are multiple parts to this assignment; for full credit, please respond to them all. Keep in mind that this is a graded assignment and I am primarily looking for inclusion of assigned course material. Have fun!

1. Federalist Papers: Expand your understanding of Federalist Paper 10, Federalist Paper 51, and Anti-Federalist Paper #1 by examining the arguments made in each of these documents and their role in contemporary government and politics. Do the limits on power enshrined in our Constitution and articulated in these Federalist Papers continue to work today? For Federalist Paper 10, Federalist Paper 51, and anti-Federalist Paper #1:

a. Explain the central argument made and why it was important in the context of then-proposed Constitution.

b. Apply the argument made to an example of contemporary politics. Do the arguments made in these Federalist Papers still apply today? Explain why or why not.

c. What would the Federalists have thought about the current conflict between the President and Congress over the funding of a border wall? Did the Federalists intend that the President should be able to get whatever he wants by holding government funding hostage?

2. The U.S. Constitution: If you were writing a Constitution for the United States today, what would be some of the major ideas you would like that Constitution to reflect?What is important is not which option you choose, but whyyou chose that option. Again, keep in mind that I am primarily interested in the integration of assigned course materials. You may also refer to contemporary media sources should you wish to do so.

a. Would you like the government set up by the Constitution to allow for majority rule on all issues, or would you rather allow minorities power to slow or even stop majority rule? Why?

b. Would you like a system that works rather rapidly to make and implement decisions, or would you like a system that works fairly slowly? Why?

c. Would you like a central government with great powers, state governments with great powers, or something in‑between? Why?

d. Would you like the power of the national government concentrated in one branch, such as in a parliamentary system, or diffused through two or more branches?Why?

e. How is the Constitution you have created similar or different from the U.S. Constitution? Have you always chosen the most democratic options (remember, the Founders of the U.S. Constitution often did not)? If not, what other values enter into the decision to choose the least democratic option? Were these the values that affected the decisions of the Founders of the U.S. Constitution?
