The formal process of amending the Constitution is cumbersome and slow.  While this fact explains why relatively few amendments have been adopted, it does not discourage advocates of constitutional change from proposing them. Four amendment proposals that have gained considerable attention are the Balanced Budget Amendment, the Birthright Citizenship Amendment, the Equal Rights Amendment, and the Overturn Citizens United Amendment. Select one of these proposals as the topic of your initial post and use the assigned resources to inform yourself about its purpose and the arguments of its supporters and critics.

Before writing your initial post, review the assigned resources. To easily access the resources from the Ashford University Library, please see the table located in the Course Materials section.

In your initial post of at least 200-250 words, briefly summarize what the proposed amendment would do and the problem its proponents say it will solve. Explain the main pros and cons in the debate about the amendment. Evaluate the proposed amendment from two perspectives:

• Your own political philosophy, values or ideology. (Justify your assessment by clearly explaining your political values and why they lead you to support or oppose the amendment.)
• The likelihood that the proposed amendment will eventually be ratified to become part of the Constitution. (Justify your assessment by explaining how the proposal will or will not, in your judgment, survive the ratification process.)

Fully respond to all parts of the question. Write in your own words. Support your position with APA citations to two or more of the assigned resources required for this discussion. Please be sure that you demonstrate understanding of these resources, integrate them into your argument, and cite them properly.

The assignment for this module contains three parts. Respond to all parts of this assignment on one Word document. 1. How did the Great Wave of Immigration affect the city of Chicago (from “Did You Know” in Immigration: A Documentary and Reference Guide, Chapter 3, Documents section)?

2. Examine Edwin Levick’s 1906 photograph of immigrants on the deck of the S.S. Patricia within “The Dawn of the Twentieth Century and the Renewed Promise of America” section from Chapter 3 of the Immigration: A Documentary and Reference Guide. What can you determine about the immigration experience from studying this image and from the information contained in the caption below the image?

3. Use simple Internet research to provide short answers to the following questions (be sure to cite your sources using MLA format):  What countries and ethnic groups comprise the Slavic peoples?  What was the Haymarket Riot and what was its relation to Immigrant groups?  What did Henry Cabot Lodge, Henry Ford, Father Coughlin, and the Ku Klux Klan have in common?

question 1

Is it necessary for all team members to have good problem solving skills? Why or why not? What would you do with an employee who was committed to action, but had poor analysis skills?

question2

Your manager needs your assistance on a major project. He is worried that he will lose control of the project if it is not tightly managed. He has asked you to set up a plan to keep him up-to-date on the status of the project. Based on what you have learned, how would you proceed? What tools would you use? Briefly describe a time when you or a colleague were in this position and it was handled successfully.

For this project, you will write a Java program that demonstrates exception handling. Your program will accept from the user ten values and place those numbers in an array. The numbers in the array will be added together and the result displayed to the user. The program will also perform division. The program should compare the values for elements 1 and 2 in the array and divide the larger number by the smaller number. It should compare the values for all odd/even elements and divide the larger by the smaller value. The program should use exception handling to avoid division by zero errors or out of range errors (dictated by the variable’s data type) which would cause the program to stop due to the error. The program should prompt the user for a second set of ten numbers. When the user enters 9999 the program should terminate normally.

For this project, do the following:

• Create a new project in your IDE named “ExceptionHandler.”
• Write code to accept numbers as described above from the user. Your code should ensure that only numbers are accepted.
• Write code to add all values together and to divide larger numbers by smaller numbers in odd/even elements. Results should be displayed. Loop to get another set of ten numbers from the user until the user enters 9999 as the first number.
• Use exception handling to handle division by zero and out of range exceptions.
• In the catch blocks, be sure to display the cause of the exception to the user.
• Make sure your exception handler will handle any other errors as a default.
• Create a UML activity diagram that illustrates how your program works. Your diagram must include all the data items in your program.
• Use good comments to describe how the program works.
• Make sure the program runs correctly before submission.
