1 George Mason University Schar School of Policy and Government GOVT Rule by the People Bill Schneider Fall Term 2017 Founders Hall 619 Thursdays, 4:30-7:10 pm ENGR 1110 Overview The government of the United States was designed not to work. The Constitution was written 220 years ago by leaders who shared a deep distrust of government. They wanted it to be as weak as possible. Hence, they devised a system with divided powers and checks and balances. But somehow, it does work. What makes it work is public opinion. When there is an overwhelming sense of public urgency, all the pieces click into place. Things get done. This course will look at government by crisis and the way public opinion shapes policy. Topics will include taxing and spending, deficits, health care, social issues, national security, military intervention, terrorism and race relations. The course will also look at the dynamics that drive elections, the causes and consequences of political polarization, the rise of political movements and their policy consequences. Course materials (recommended for purchase) Recommended for purchase: John W. Kingdon, America the Unusual (Worth, 1999) Robert S. Erikson and Kent L. Tedin, American Public Opinion, Sixth Edition (Routledge 2015) Additional readings in the course outline below will be placed on reserve. 1
2 Course requirements 1. Two papers (each approximately 1,200 words). One paper will be assigned from the topics on the next page. The second paper will be chosen by the student from the same list. The papers should answer the question: How has public opinion affected, or not affected, policy? Each paper is due on the day that topic is scheduled for class discussion. 2. A 20-minute class presentation based on the first paper written for requirement #1 above, due on the day the topic is scheduled for class discussion. The second paper (on the topic of your choosing) does not require a class report. 3. A final paper (approximately 1,500 words) answering this question: In a deeply polarized political environment, is there any middle ground on the issue you are writing about? Cite evidence to back up your argument. Paper is due on December 11. Choice of issues: abortion, affirmative action, immigration, inequality, foreign trade, military intervention, climate change, gun control, government surveillance -- or any other issue you choose, subject to approval by the instructor. 2

9 Academic Accommodation for a Disability If you are a student with a disability and you need academic accommodations, please see me and contact the Disability Resource Center (DRC) at All academic accommodations must be arranged through the DRC. Policy on Plagiarism The profession of scholarship and the intellectual life of a university as well as the field of public policy inquiry depend fundamentally on a foundation of trust. Thus any act of plagiarism strikes at the heart of the meaning of the university and the purpose of the School of Public Policy. It constitutes a serious breach of professional ethics and it is unacceptable. Plagiarism is the use of another's words or ideas presented as one's own. It includes, among other things, the use of specific words, ideas, or frameworks that are the product of another's work. Honesty and thoroughness in citing sources is essential to professional accountability and personal responsibility. Appropriate citation is necessary so that arguments, evidence, and claims can be critically examined. Plagiarism is wrong because of the injustice it does to the person whose ideas are stolen. But it is also wrong because it constitutes lying to one's professional colleagues. From a prudential perspective, it is shortsighted and self-defeating, and it can ruin a professional career. The faculty of the Schar School takes plagiarism seriously and has adopted a zero tolerance policy. Any plagiarized assignment will receive an automatic grade of "F." This may lead to failure for the course, resulting in dismissal from the University. This dismissal will be noted on the student's transcript. For foreign students who are on a university-sponsored visa (eg. F-1, J-1 or J-2), dismissal also results in the revocation of their visa. To help enforce the Schar School policy on plagiarism, all written work submitted in partial fulfillment of course or degree requirements must be available in electronic form so that it can be compared with electronic databases, as well as submitted to commercial services to which the School subscribes. Faculty may at any time submit student's work without prior permission from the student. Individual instructors may require that written work be submitted in electronic as well as printed form. The SPP policy on plagiarism is supplementary to the George Mason University Honor Code; it is not intended to replace it or substitute for it. < 9
