Hello I’m gonna attach the two questions that needs to be answer for this essay and the readings you need to use for each of those questions, the file that says reading for question 1 that’s the one that needs to be use to answer question 1 and the pictures with the bureocracy reading should be use to answer question 2 

Each student should complete all parts of this assignment independently.  The point of the discussion forum is not to produce the responses collaboratively, but instead to be able to respond to each others work. Students will be graded individually and on the quality of their contributions to the group discussion.
This is a written college assignment–you must adhere to the normal writing and style standards laid out in the writing guide. Poor writing will be penalized as much as good writing will be rewarded. When responding to other postings you are being evaluated based upon your insights and the ways you further the discussion. Simply responding to adhere to the deadline without achieving these goals will result in a low grade.
Watch the documentary “Supreme Revenge” here:

Make sure to couch your response based upon the material found in the reading and modules. Your initial post should be around 250-500 words in length. Each response post should be around 125-150 words. You are being graded here on the quality of your insights and these should be critically evaluative.
Your initial post is due by Friday, May 24 at 5 P.M. 
You can only see the work of other students after you have submitted your original post. Any blank original post is considered a submission and will receive zero points.So you need to do first initial part and then I will send you 2 classmate’s post and you will reply.
After your initial post (of around 250 words) you are required to respond to two of your classmates postings.  Your responses should include what you agree with or disagree with and why.  Your responses may also include an elaboration upon what a classmate wrote.
Your response posts (each of around 125 words) are due by Sunday, May 25 at 5 P.M.

Look over the readings
Do readings outside this. 
Use theory e.g.

In-text citations count to word count
Harvard referencing
References DO NOT count to the word count. 

To complete the peer review, you must review the student’s assignment and add comments in the comment sidebar. Please answer ALL
of the following questions regarding your classmate’s evidence log to receive credit (no partial credit will be given):
Did the student define the concepts completely with supporting references to the text?
Did the student discuss each concept in the context of their chosen country? In this discussion, did they reference reliable sources,
such as those on the Sources and References page? If they used Wikipedia or another source that isn’t appropriate for this
assignment, please remind them in your comments to choose reliable academic sources.
General – tell the student: 1) the best thing about their assignment, 2) one area for improvement.

The reading and viewing list for this course’s first four modules includes scholars writing specifically about the post-Cold War period. At the start of the 1990s, there was an epochal conflict event that coincided with the end of the Cold War – the First Gulf War. Across the rest of the 1990s, and in particular the 1992-1995 Bosnian War and the 1999 Kosovo War, additional conflict occurred, which was also pivotal in revealing how the international system was structured and operating. In this essay, you will compare and contrast aspects of these events. Be sure to draw on that full range of readings and other learning materials to address the questions below. 
Before beginning this activity, be sure to read the Module Notes and the required readings and viewings for the first four modules. Your assignment is to compare and contrast the First Gulf War and the Balkans Wars, drawing on what you have learned in the course thus far. You will write a six page essay. 
REQUIRED ESSAY QUESTIONS: 
In your reading, how did the conflicts differ in their nature? For example, was one a simple case of one state’s aggression against another (e.g., Iraq v. Kuwait in the First Gulf War), while the other conflict was born from the breakup of a multi-ethnic state after the Soviet collapse? For example, did the legacy of the past, or history, matter more in one conflict than the other? 
Compare and contrast the “leadership” role played by the United States in these two conflicts. Did the United States take the lead and shape the international community’s response similarly, and did others follow the United States unreservedly? 
Finally, consider our current environment, with globalization arguably worsening economic dislocations and ethno-religious divisions, including the rise of white nationalism in the West, plaguing regions and domestic societies. Reflect on the connections you see between the 1990s and our contemporary world – have the “Balkans’ Ghosts” been banished or are they haunting us still?
To successfully complete Project 1, you will need to organize your responses to these specific questions and then craft formatted essays. Your essays will be evaluated in terms of how thoroughly you: answer the questions; use resources to document your main points; and properly cite referenced work. Your essays should address all of the questions assigned. 
Essays should consist of approximately 1,500 words of text (approximately 6 pages of double-spaced and 12 point font of text). Citations and a bibliography will likely make up an additional 1–2 pages. Each essay should include each of the following attributes: 
A title page; 
Well-developed introductory paragraph explaining the purpose of the essay and briefly referencing some of the main points/contentions offered in the essay; 
The body of the essay should consist of your effort to best answer the primary questions from the assignment prompt and should consist of the required length of words of text (at least 6 pages of double-spaced and 12 point font of text. Though the method by which the paper is written is largely up to you, it is essential that the responses to the questions in the prompt be based upon scholarly readings and should remain at all times defensible (in an academic sense). You have a great deal of information to draw from in creating your essay, including the assigned readings and hyperlinked sources in the module notes. As is the case with every assignment in POL 351, presenting any unsubstantiated, illogical, or indefensible position will have an adverse effect on the final grade. Please direct any questions regarding these expectations to the instructor; 
A concise concluding paragraph that briefly restates both the purpose of the essay as well as some of the primary argument offered by you, the essay’s author. Be sure the concluding paragraph does not introduce new information; 
A list of all sources consulted in the preparation of the essay. The essay should be formatted according to  APA-style documentationLinks to an external site.. This includes the format of the list of references.

Question
You’ve now learned more about how the Constitution conceives of both
the Supreme Court and the judiciary, as outlined in Article III. But of
course, the Constitution as we have it is only one possible version of
what’s possible—there could be myriad other ways to organize the
judicial branch.
Several years ago, the National Constitution Center invited three groups of scholars to each draft their own, alternative version of the Constitution ( https://constitutioncenter.org/news-debate/special-projects/constitution-drafting-project)
Links to an external site.: a libertarian constitution
Links to an external site ( https://constitutioncenter.org/news-debate/special-projects/constitution-drafting-project/the-libertarian-constitution )., a progressive constitution (https://constitutioncenter.org/news-debate/special-projects/constitution-drafting-project/the-progressive-constitution) Links to an external site., and a conservative constitution (https://constitutioncenter.org/news-debate/special-projects/constitution-drafting-project/the-conservative-constitution)
Links to an external site.. Each of these proposed constitutions imagines a different reality, and starts with different priorities in mind.
For this reflection assignment, I want you to take a look at each of
these Constitutions and read the introductions written by their authors,
and go through the articles, paying special attention to each version’s
Article III.
What differences do you notice compared to the “real” constitution
for each of these versions, and which alternative document’s emphasis
would most closely align with your own opinions of the judiciary’s tasks
and authority—and why?
Instructions
Respond to the above prompt with a thoughtful essay of about 1,000 words. Cite your sources appropriately, taking care to give credit where credit is due. Please use Chicago style
Links to an external site.;
you’re free to choose between the notes system (in which case you do
not need a separate bibliography) or the author-date system (in which
case you’ll use in-text citations and a bibliography is required).

Assignment #3: Policy paper 
Due June 3 11.59pm
Length: 6,000 words, +/- 10% (does not include abstract and bibliography, but does include tables, appendices and footnotes).
This assignment requires you to write an academic research paper where you will apply two different theories to one case.
For this assignment, we want you to use theory to develop an explanation/understanding of a case and then evaluate this from the perspective of its usefulness: what does each application illuminate? What does each application obscure? Its overall aim is to demonstrate strong knowledge, understanding and critical engagement across the core course readings and themes of this subject through application and analysis of a case study.
Your paper will address a variation on the question: ‘to what extent can [the chosen theoretical frameworks] be used to understand [your chosen policy case]?’.
It might be: ‘to what extent can Punctuated Equilibrium Theory and the Multiple Streams Framework be used to understand Closing the Gap policies in Australia?’
In preparing and writing this essay, you are expected to demonstrate evidence of wide reading and critical engagement with the topic you choose to explore as well as the wider theoretical literature. Your goal is to ensure that the selected policy theories allow you to at least analyse at least some aspect of your case, and that in turn, the case allow you to critique one or more aspect of the policy theories. Put differently, you should show those aspects of the case that are explained or illuminated by your chosen policy model(s) and identify any blind spots or aspects that it may obscure.
For this assessment, you have the option to analyse the same policy case that you presented in Assignment #1, using a policy theory of your choice with the option again to choose one of the approaches that were covered in Assignment #2 (as well as a second model/framework).
The analysis presented should consider the historical trajectory of the policy issue. In doing so, the analysis should draw on both empirical sources related to your chosen case and relevant theoretical material. This should include both materials from the course reading list, and further reading of relevant material within research and policy literatures as appropriate.
This assessment aims to evaluate your ability to integrate theoretical and empirical materials to consider the merits of the ideas you have been presented with in the course. Hence, the main thrust of your essays must be both theoretical and empirical in character, with a key component being the critical synthesis and link between theory and practice.
Assignments will be assessed against the following criteria:
Ability to articulate the nature and significance of your chosen policy problem (10%)
Independent empirical research into your chosen case (20%)
Ability to apply and integrate theories and concepts from the policy literature (30%)
Ability to develop an argument (i.e. explanation) that integrates the theoretical and empirical materials (30%)
Logical structure, well written and use of concise language (10%).
