POLI 4020 – EXTRA CREDIT ASSIGNMENT
You may complete the following question for 10 extra credit points.
This was a “hypothetical” / “fact pattern” question on last semester’s midterm.
Model answers for the question are out there – do not use them.
You must answer the question in paragraph format using complete sentences.
Keep in mind that while it may seem obvious now that this question relates to the
Political Question Doctrine and mirrors the facts of Nixon v. United States, you
may have trouble identifying what issues and cases the hypothetical questions
implicate on the exam.
The extra credit assignment is due Friday, February 18, by 11:59 PM (one
minute before midnight). No late assignments will be accepted. Please submit
the assignment under the “Extra Credit” tab via Turnitin.
While you may want to begin to answer the question now, I would not submit it
until after we discuss Nixon v. United States.
