14. What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers within the Constitution?
We need separation of power to prevent dictatorial rule. Power leads to corruption eventually that's why checks and balances are vital to a Democracy.
15. Briefly list three (3) political or legislative issues of most concern to you, and explain why each is important to you.
Affordable Care Act- it affects our economy and my generation especially because it is dependent on healthy young Americans to over pay on their premiums. This law needs to be revised. Economy & Jobs- tax reform is vitally needed in order to stimulate our economy. Right now Americans are over taxed. College Tuition and Student Loan Reform- I am a student and veteran. This path of inflated tuition and student loan debt will lead to another economic crash if we do not confront it immediately.
16. Should abortion be allowed under extenuating circumstances? If so, what circumstances?
I am a social libertarian and believe the government has no right to tell a women or any American citizen how to control their body.

Constitution, Congress, Supreme Court
