Hello ! I attached the rubric/breakdown of this research project… It is our Final Paper for this class. All of the information needed for the paper is on that rubric. Please follow it 🙂  He gave a list of potential topics and I would like it to be written on *TRANSPORTATION, (e.g electric vehicles, transit systems)* and as the rubric states please apply concepts of FEDERALISM and PUBLIC POLICY in it because we covered it in class. He gave some examples on the rubric. There needs to be a citation page and he asked for 5. It needs to be about 1,300 words.  He is strict on plagiarism and AI so please make sure I have proof of none ofthose, and thank you 🙂 
Ignore assignments 1-3. I just need the research paper done!

Imagine a scenario where Earth has been attacked by an alien civilization.

In this scenario, consider the various roles of the American President. Explain how the President might respond in each of these roles. What powers or resources would they possess?

☐ At least one quote from our textbook.

Hi! So if you see the pdf of the rubric, it will explain the requirements. 2 short essays each 2-3 pages based on the attached books. I added points that help with the topics:
essay 1:
Historical and Religious Claims: Both sides claim ancient religious and historical rights to the land, creating fundamental disputes over sovereignty.
Colonial Legacies and Political Decisions: The borders and nations shaped by colonial powers, especially post-World War II, have left lasting impacts on regional dynamics.
Displacement and Refugees: The displacement of Palestinians during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War created a significant refugee issue that fuels ongoing grievances.
Territorial Occupation and Settlements: Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories and settlement expansion since 1967 intensify territorial disputes and hinder peace efforts.
Political and Leadership Divides: Divided leadership within both Israeli and Palestinian communities complicates negotiations and diminishes opportunities for peace.
International Influence and Interventions: External political and military support affects the strategies and resilience of both parties, often exacerbating the conflict.
essay 2
Political Authoritarianism: The dominance of authoritarian regimes limits political freedom and discourages reforms.
Economic Dependency: Over-reliance on oil revenues prevents economic diversification and stability.
Education and Unemployment: Outdated educational systems do not meet the needs of modern economies, contributing to high youth unemployment.
Social and Cultural Factors: Cultural resistance to change, including gender inequality, hampers societal and economic progress.
External Political Influences: Foreign interventions and geopolitical dynamics destabilize regions and divert resources from development.

In this section, the author discusses what the results mean and how the study contributes to existing knowledge on the topic. Here, the research questions are answered and it should be clear at this point whether the hypotheses were supported. In the conclusion, the author usually relates the paper back to the larger context and suggests avenues for future research. 8. BIBLIOGRAPHY

After reading the G&M OpEd Justin Trudeau is prime minister not president as well as the text (ch.1 – 5), explain the difference of the Canadian system being one in which the PM is accountable to the House versus the separation of powers of the US presidency. Given that the American form of government allows people to elect both their executive (the president) and their legislators (Congress) directly, does this make it a more “democratic” than the Canadian regime in which citizens merely elect a local member of parliament? In this case, does “more democratic” mean better? NO outside sources or references. You are NOT allowed to use generative artificial intelligence (AI), such as ChatGPT, GPT-3, DALL-E and other similar AI tools to complete this assignment (it will detect on Turnitn if you use it and will be treated as a big problem. Don’t do it!)
