QUESTION 1 :Many people think that the only way to eliminate the impact of money in politics is to require that all political campaigns be publicly financed. No private donations or funding would be allowed. What are strengths and weaknesses of such a system? Should local, state, or federal taxes pay for the campaigns? Should primary elections be publicly financed, too? What advantages does an incumbent, perhaps with more name recognition, have over challengers in a publicly financed campaign?

QUESTION 2: The 2016 presidential election represented the 2nd time in 20 years where the popular vote winner did not win the presidency. Do you believe the Electoral College system is flawed? Defend the continued use of the Electoral College system or argue for the creation of an alternative plan. In either case, speculate as to how you think the system for choosing the president will change.
