In a 300-400 word write-up, answer the following questions.
Do you think public opinion matters more or less now than it did in the in the early years of the US? Why or why not?Give at least two to three examples from our reading in Kaufman for events where you believe public opinion had a greater or lesser impact and explain why.
Why do you think you and/or our class differs or is similar to the survey results you see in the Pew article? That is, what might explain the differences or similarities you see?Based on your explanations, what else might you expect to differ or be similar between our class and the general American population?
There aren’t right or wrong answers in terms of the conclusions you draw, but thoroughly each question and clearly connect claims to evidence.
