Briefly, discuss the benefits and drawbacks of a legislative bicameral

system.
Your Answer:
The benefits are that a law takes longer to pass than just from the start. It
needs to go through both sides. A uni-cameral is too simple to pass a bill,
and it allows corruption to be less easily passed. A drawback is it can be
longer to pass, taking a long time and much argument to pass a law. It's also
costly, and there are countries with a uni-cameral who do fine such as
Sweden. It can lead to constitutional conflict.
Briefly, discuss 2-3 factors that make it difficult to oust Congressional

incumbents in a race for Congressional seat.
Your Answer:
2-3 factors that make it difficult to oust Congressional incumbents in a race

for congressional seats is seniority, have already established public relations,
and their overall knowledge, experience, and relationships with others of
congress.
Briefly, discuss the concept of majority leader, within the context of House of
Representatives or Senate.
Your Answer:
The Majority Leader is the head of the majority party in a legislative body,
especially the US Senate or House of Representatives. The majority leader
is the favored person in the party, and is charged with scheduling legislation
for floor consideration; planning the daily, weekly, and annual legislative
agendas; consulting with Members to gauge party sentiment; and, generally
working to advance the goals of the majority party.
Briefly, discuss the concept of standing committee. Give one or two

examples of such committees.
Your Answer:
Standing Committees are permanent bodies that are established by rules

and continue session after session. Each committee is given a specific area
of legislative jurisdiction. EX: agriculture, budget, etc.
What is an Executive Order? What are some benefits and

problems with executive orders?
Your Answer:
An executive order is a rule or order issued by the president to an executive

branch of the government and having the force of law. A benefit is that the
president and executive staff are better positioned to make some decisions
than the congress. A con is when important aspects of legislation are left to
executive order, there is less clarity and more likelihood of disruptive change.
Speculate about factors that might help Utah gain an additional

Congressional seat after the 2020 U.S. census. Think about the process of
reapportionment we talked in class.
Your Answer:
A factor that might help Utah gain an additional Congressional seat after the
2020 U.S. census is population increase to the point of needing another
representative. Another factor would be gaining more land, such as taking
over another state which would also increase our population.
Briefly, discuss the concept of impeachment within the context of presidential

politics.
Your Answer:
Impeachment is the action of calling into question the integrity or validity of

something. It is a charge of misconduct made against the holder of a public
office. Can sometimes be a charge of treason.
What are the main differences or distinctions between the institutions of the
Presidency and the President of the United States of America? Briefly,
discuss two or three of such differences.
Your Answer:
The institutions of the presidency include other factors such as the cabinet,
and being the president of the united states is one single person without
other factors.
The president has the right to veto and the institutions of the presidency can
only attempt to influence his decisions.
Briefly, discuss the dual court system in the American legal system.
Your Answer:
The dual court system is a judicial structure employing two independent court
systems, one operating at the local level and the other at the national level.
In class, we argued that committees are critical in the organization of

Congress. What are the main differences between Standing Committees and
Select Committees? Give an example of each.
Your Answer:
Standing committees are permanent bodies that are established by rules and
continue session after session. EX: agricultural, budget, etc.
