Problem 1: How do laissez-faire, statist, socialist, and the welfare state systems differ? Trace the evolution of each system from its core ideology to the present and provide examples of each system. Be sure to explain why the state is a good example of each.
Problem 2: What are "rights" in society? From where do rights originate? Can rights be created? Are rights universal? Should they be? If so, which ones? Use these questions to spark a discussion on the contested nature of political rights in society and the subsequent difficulty in providing constitutional protections for them.
