Should the United States Senate eliminate the Legislative Filibuster? If yes, Why? If no, Why not? What if anything, does the history of the filibuster teach us about the present and future impact of such a decision?
This assignment is a Research Assignment. You must research academic journals, think tank publications, findlaw.com, articles from major newspapers and other reputable sources. (Wikipedia is NOT a credible academic source.)
Along with substantive analysis, your papers should reflect what you believe I need to know based on your comprehensive research and analysis of what you read including opposing points of view. All assignments must be properly sourced and require research beyond the required and recommended readings.
For both assignments, please include:

For all assignments, there are NO PAGE LENGTH OR STYLE REQUIREMENTS. As a graduate student, scholar and public administrator it is up to your discretion to determine how best to inform, teach and display the knowledge you have acquired through your independent research. You determine what is pertinent to include in your research paper based on the knowledge you have acquired through analysis and evaluation.
