Explanation:

INCREASE IN PRESIDENTIAL POWERS

Throughout American history, there have been various occasions where the presidential powers have been increased during unusual times such as global pandemic, war, economic turmoil or frayed international relations which can breed tension.

President Abraham Lincoln during the American Civil War in 1861 temporarily suspended the rights of captured prisoners being taken to a law court to secure his release.

President Lincoln also freed slaves.

An increase in presidential powers can also be as a result of how the executive powers are interpreted by courts and the president himself.

This was shown by President Andrew Jackson who fired his Secretary of State due to his opposition of President Jackson's policies.

It was the first time a President attempted to remove a cabinet member and the President Andrew Jackson viewed that as President, he had the power to remove a political appointee.

Recently, President Donald Trump declared a national emergency because of immigration which led people to ask the extent the executive power can go.

DECREASE IN PRESIDENTIAL POWERS:

To limit or put a check on the powers and actions of the Executive arm of the government which includes the President, there are checks and balances of the Legislature and Judiciary.

Before a president can pass down a decree into law, it has to go through reading in the Senate and must have a majority vote before it passes on to the next reading, where more deliberations are made before it is put to law. This is one of the ways the legislature puts a check on the president.

They can also put checks according to the Constitution of demanding approval from Congress before embarking on war or the use of military force.

There have been various occasions where this has been flouted by Presidents of America.

President Obama ordered a strike on Libya without congressional approval, President Bush ordered the torture of prisoners without Congressional approval.

Even more recently, President Trump ordered the assassination of a top Iranian General without informing Congress and the tensions that ensued from there almost caused a war, even as there were missiles fired by both sides and the Iranians erroneously shooting down a passenger plane because they thought it was a US fighter jet.

The president is required by law to order military striker or go to war with another country when there is no sufficient time to get the approval of Congress.

Advantages of increasing presidential power

1. The president is able to discharge his duties with less bureaucratic hassles

2. The president can make faster decisions for the country during times of war

Disadvantages of increasing presidential power

1. The president can begin to infringe on rights of citizens and sovereignty of countries

2. It can lead to a dictator style leadership

3. The president can begin to feel he is above the law.

Question options:

A. Across subjects multiple-baseline design

B. Across situations multiple-baseline design

C. Across behaviors multiple-baseline design

D. Across subjects ABA design

Answer:

A. Across subjects multiple-baseline design

In the multiple-baseline design, behavior is measured across either multiple individuals, behaviors, or settings.

For the multiple-baseline-across-subjects design, the same behavior is observed and studied for multiple individuals as is lllustrated above.

By gathering data from many or more than one subject or instances inferences can be more informed and be made about the likeliness that the measured trait generalizes to a greater population.

How will you know which information to include to in your arguement to support your claim/
Reil [10]
When constructing an argumentative essay, incorporate sources that are or are close to irrefutable and have relevance to what you are discussing. For example, if your topic is about why sanitary napkins for women should be free at school then present facts about how not everyone has access to them at home or how the expense would not cost a lot. However, no matter what you say it can not be opinion driven and you must have valir reasons and statistics to support your point. So using the previous topic, I would mention the actual estimated price free sanitary napkins would cost or talk about the struggles of teenage girls or teachers who cannot afford tampons. Additionally in your argumentative essay, you will need a counterclaim which is you rebuting a popular misconception or a common opposing viewpoint. For example, one may mention how female students and faculty would abuse the privilege and would not use it for only emergencies. They would then combat the statement by highlighting how many schools that do offer free sanitary napkins obtained a specific system that allows them to monitor who is borrowing what and the quantity of how much they borrow by making the pads accessible at the nurse or the administration office. You will know if something supports your claim if the evidence has the same topic and main idea as your objective and if it does not disprove your belief.
