Discussion Prompts (answer all of them):

– Based on the author’s background information, is this a credible source for a legal analysis? Cite some of the guest’s work as evidence.

– What are the key Constitutional concerns raised by Government actions during past pandemics? What were the legal outcomes related to those Constitutional issues? Cite the specific Supreme Court cases and the Justices that wrote the outcome in that case.

– What are the Constitutional concerns today and moving forward? What are the legal concerns? How can these concerns be successfully addressed by government actions? Cite a peer-reviewed academic journal article for information related to a formal policy recommendation (use the research center tool built into the course).

– How will this information be useful to you in the near or long-term future? This could be from the perspective of a potential or actual voter, employee, employer, parent, student, etc. Be sure to clearly establish the perspective and how the information can lead to meaningful action. No sources are necessary for this final prompt only, state your position and remember not to use first-person tone in your writing.
