History and the Constitution
Competencies Addressed in This Discussion
Competency 1: Describe how historical problems were managed in the evolution of the U.S. Constitution.
Competency 5: Communicate effectively in writing.
Introduction
The U.S. Constitution has significant and complex history. Each marker that led to the creation of the U.S. Constitution is important in terms of understanding frame, philosophical ideologies, and public policy considerations. American constitutional law has a life of its own. It has expanded, retreated, and changed as the needs of those it serves have changed. In a manner of speaking, it lives out society’s ideals.
Let’s make some connections. Looking at the history of the U.S. Constitution, identify three areas of significance and how you think those areas impacted the direction of the U.S. Constitution. Do you feel the concerns were adequately addressed for the nation, at that time, and moving forward as a new nation? Fast-forwarding to today, do you feel the key protections in the Bill of Rights provide the foundation to strike a balance between individual rights and societal needs? Use criminal justice examples to support your positions and conclusions.

Connecting the Past and Present and Looking Ahead
Competencies Addressed in This Assignment
Competency 2: Correlate the role of each branch of government with Bill of Rights interpretation.
Competency 5: Communicate effectively in writing.
Throughout the course, we will be looking at historical connections to understand current and future criminal justice system implications. In this unit, you learned about the history of the U.S. Constitution, the structure of the legal system, and implementation in the context of our government. These areas are the foundation for understanding the criminal justice practitioner connection. As the law changes, professionals working in the criminal justice system need to remain aware of what is current. Failure to do so can cause legitimate cases to be dismissed, allow persons who are guilty of crimes to get away, and open up liability at different levels. Likewise, the individual rights of innocent citizens can be affected in our U.S. legal system.
Prepare a three-page paper, citing a minimum of two academically verified references, describing the structure of government, including the three branches, power allocated to each branch, the source of power, and the separation of powers. Explain how each branch has obligations and roles associated with the interpretation of the Bill of Rights. Address why this understanding of the branches of government and the Bill of Rights application is important in a career context.
Be sure to review the Connecting the Past and Present and Looking Ahead Scoring Guide to ensure that you understand the criteria for this assignment.

Write a 45 page paper applying theories and concepts from social psychology, behavioral ethics, and critical thinking to the case study you choose. Focus on theories related to prosocial behavior, rejection, and close relationships.
Prosocial behavior is doing what’s best for others and involves being fair, respectful, cooperative, forgiving, and sometimes obedient and conforming. It enables us to get along with others, to build trust, and to learn to like and love others. Antisocial behavior is behavior that either damages interpersonal relationships or is culturally undesirable, and it can even involve aggressive or criminal behavior. Social psychologists study what drives us to act in both of these ways.
Social psychologists also study our need for social acceptance and how we form relationships. Human beings are wired for relationships. We engage in relationships of all kinds, from family to acquaintances and friends to romantic partners. We all have a need to belong.
For this assessment, you will write a paper in which you apply theories and concepts from social psychology related to prosocial behavior, rejection, and close relationships. You will also be required to apply behavioral ethics and critical thinking concepts. Successful practitioners understand the dynamics of various relationships.

Apply theories and concepts from social psychology, behavioral ethics, and critical thinking to the case study you choose. Focus on theories dealing with culture and nature and the self.
