Problem 1: Texas decides it is going to start regulating immigration and naturalization. Fully explain: 1) what is federalism, 2) can Texas do this, 3) if Texas does this what could happen and what could the federal government do about it? 4) Which Constitutional provision(s) that we discussed in class are you relying on to answer this question?
Problem 2: Texas and the United States are both dominated by two parties - the Republican Party and the Democratic Party. Pick one of these parties and tell me at least two things that you or others perceive as positive about that party and at least two things that you or other perceive as negative about that party. My goal is for you to be able to evaluate what you and/or others think are positive and negative about the two major parties.
