Discuss how a current political issue has, or will, move through the entire political system. Be sure to include those who have a stake in the issue (interest groups, organizations, businesses, etc.), what current laws and Supreme Court decisions affect the issue, what agencies (executive) and congressional committees (legislative) have jurisdiction, how the public views the issue, how the political parties represent it, how the issue has evolved over time, and what roles and responsibilities individuals (or citizens) including yourself have within the system as it relates to the issue.

Choose one of the following
Foreign policy
Health Care
Civil Rights
Gun policy
Immigration
Environmental policy – though for this one, as it is very expansive, choose only one of these: public lands, wildlife, carbon emissions, or clean air and water.
