Essay test #2

DUE OCTOBER 25. Here are the questions for test #2. Use EVERY sentence as a chance to communicate detailed information about the material. Do not use vague generalizations. Again, use the sample test and the test criteria posted earlier in this class to craft your answer.

Question #1 What are the reasons governments provide for the creation of central banks? What are the tools used by governments and central banks to engage in monetary policy? How does monetary policy differ from fiscal policy? Discuss case studies and political motivations behind past events in monetary and fiscal policy. In addition to the lectures and text, you may wish to use the video sample used in class.

Question #2 Using the text chapters on Congress and the Presidency, discuss how the process of selecting elected officials can influence how elected officials act once in office. What tools and powers can the president and members of congress employ to assist in obtaining re-election and other goals? Explain using details and examples. Also, use the Constitution's text to refer to the specific authorization for various powers when applicable.
