BNS 101 M6A1: The War Powers Resolution: Intent and Controversy

In this module you are required to write a 2-3 page (not including the cover and reference pages) position paper thoroughly discussing the material presented during the week. APA citations are expected, an abstract is not.

The readings and learning activities in this module discussed war-making power in the United States, the political implications of the 1973 War Powers Resolution, and the authority and impact of Congress in the politics of national security. For this, and all position paper assignments, it is crucial to base your opinions and arguments on research.

In this module we examined the constitutional division of authority regarding war powers. Now you will turn this knowledge to an analysis of the virtues and drawbacks of the 1973 War Powers Resolution.

• What was the intent of Congress in the War Powers Act of 1973?
• How would you characterize the impact of this legislation on congressional authority in national security?
• In your analysis, is this law a necessary extension of congressional authority in response to the growth of presidential power-or is it an unnecessary impingement upon the president’s role as commander in chief? Why or why not?

This course has Turnitin fully integrated into the course dropbox. This means that you should only submit your assignments to the dropbox below. Please do not submit your assignment directly to Turnitin.com.    

Once submitted, your assignment will be evaluated by Turnitin® automatically.  You will be able to view an Originality Report within minutes of your first submission that will show how much of your work has been identified as similar to other sources such as websites, textbooks, or other student papers.  Use your Originality Report as a learning tool to identify areas of your assignment that you may not have cited appropriately.  You may resubmit your assignment through this dropbox as many times as you need to check to see if you have made improvements, until the due date of the assignment. However, once you have made your first submission, you will need to wait 24 hours after each subsequent submission to receive a new Originality Report.  Plan accordingly as you draft your assignment.  Once the due date has passed, your assignment submission will be considered final.
