Part 1: Briefly, in 1 short paragraph of 200 words or less, elaborate on your specific policy interests and the ways in which your Christian worldview or calling have shaped those interests.

Question 2
What do political scientists mean when they speak of constitutionalism? What does it mean to speak of constitutionalism as distinct from particular constitutions?

Does “original intent” apply to one or more of the three (3) primary public policy interest areas you previously identified? Why or why not?
Question 4
What theory of federalism (or, if using Wright’s classification system, IGR model) best represents the American intergovernmental system? Give at least 3 reasons to support your claim and contrast your choice with at least 2 other models/theories. Conclude by identifying which theory/model best informs your research topic and question.
