History
Please read and respond the questions in bold red. Provide resources.
Part 1
o Getting to the right of privacy has not been a straight road. The right to privacy is not explicitly listed anywhere in the Constitution. But

Supreme Court “inferred” a right of privacy from several of the Amendments, long before the Roe decision and the inference was not just from the 14

Amendment. The Supreme Court has expressed the belief that collectively, the Amendments construct a “zone of privacy.” The government cannot interfere

in a person’s choices of religion, what they choose to say, affiliate with, must have search warrants to search private areas, and the protection

against self-incrimination. We can see how this creates a situation in which the privacy of a person is protected.

The Third Amendment makes it clear that the privacy of one’s home is to be inviolate, even in times of war. The Fourth Amendment suggests that an

individual’s body (person), as well as home and personal belongings could not be subject to warrantless searches and seizures. The Fifth and Sixth

Amendments impart some rights of privacy, as well. The Supreme Court has especially suggested that the Fifth Amendment suggests that individual’s

should have the right to keep private their thoughts. In the Ninth Amendment, there is a statement that the listing of the rights contained in the Bill

of Rights does not mean to “deny or disparage others retained by the people.” So, basically, it means that just because a right is not listed in the

Constitution does not mean that people do not have that right. So, it opens a method for the Courts to interpret rights from the Constitution and the

current needs of society. For example, in the Griswold v. Connecticut decision, the precursor to Roe, the Supreme Court first discussed the rights of a

married couple to make private decisions about the use of birth control. The Roe decision followed shortly.

Most of the Amendments tell the government to “back off” an individual’s personal choices.
Question to part 1
o Why do you think so many laws passed today by legislatures get involved in a person’s private choices?

o Part II
o There was a long period of time where abortion was legal in the early US. According to Gordon (1974), it was widely practiced in the late

1700’s through the 1800’s, but people did not discuss it much. Abortion was not regulated until after the Civil War. In the 1800’s, abortion was legal

in nearly every state! In 1870, there were over 200 doctors listed in the medical directories who performed abortions. At that time, more women died

from childbirth than did from early-stage abortions (Gordon 1974). Early forms of “birth control” pills, called French or Portuguese Monthly Pills, were

marketed to women as a way to terminate pregnancies. The language in the ads was quite vague, though. (You might need to zoom in to read the actual

text.)

There was not an open discussion on the limitations on birth control up until the 1950’s/60’s, usually in regard to married couples. As Justice Harlan

pointed out, polite society assumed that a person would not engage in sexual intimacy outside of marriage. In most states, it was not legal for single

women to get prescriptions for birth control pills until the 1970’s. After the Roe decision, there was aa lot of rapid movement about abortion in the

courts. This history leaves us with the idea that those laws are the norm until laws began changing in the 1950’s. It was around that time that

opinion on the matter of abortions began to shift. Pope Pius IX issued a statement that the Catholic Church considered abortion to be murder. Anthony

Comstock authored legislation to make it illegal to advertise contraception, deeming it to be obscene. Many churches, social groups, and even President

Teddy Roosevelt attacked birth control as a means to make families smaller, a fact that was not good for a growing nation. Abortion and birth control

were quickly outlawed. Those laws remained until Griswold and Roe.

So, we have seen a decided shift in the attitudes about abortion over time, from support to bans, back to judicially supported usage. This linked

You are required to submit this assignment to Turnitin. Please refer to the directions in the Student Success Center.

(TCO A) A hospital can be owned and operated either publicly (by a government) or privately (by either a for-profit entity or a not-for-profit entity). Administering the hospital may be quite different depending on whether it is publicly owned or privately owned. Please explain ways in which the hospital may respond differently to “The Market” (that is, market forces) if it is publicly held as compared to privately held.

(TCO B) Stabilization should be one of the goals of an effective public policy. Explain at least three of the actions that the federal government can take in times of economic crisis to try to achieve stabilization.

(TCO C) Statutes enacted by legislatures, whether the Congress of the United States or at a state level, often are vague. Hence, the policy mandates given to public administrators via the legislation are vague. This also shifts much of the policy making to public administrators. Explain the advantages to the public of the public administrators, rather than the elected representatives, making policy via rules and regulations.

(TCO D) Explain why it is critical for the effectiveness of a public policy or program initiative to be measured. Please also define, or otherwise explain, the terms “policy outputs” and “policy outcomes.”

(TCO E) As a public administrator seeking funding to achieve policy objectives, one tool that you may be able to consider is the use of dedicated tax revenue. That action would require the authorization of the legislative branch and would need to be signed into law. Yet you could initiate the request that legislation (or an ordinance at a local level) be passed that provides that specific tax revenue would only be used for purposes of your program and/or department. Provide one specific example at the federal level of such a tax. Provide an example in general of such a tax at a local level. What is one advantage of having a dedicated source of revenue at the local level?

(TCO F) Define the term “public-private partnership.” Explain at least two of the challenges facing the public sector and how this structure may help to alleviate those challenges.

(TCO G) As a conservation measure, your state has recently passed a law lowering the maximum speed limit in the state to 55 miles per hour. As a public administrator in charge of the implementation, describe the steps that you feel should be taken so that the policy can be placed in effect in a cost-effective manner.

(TCO H) A problem with government, some might say, is that once an agency is established to implement a new public policy, that entity may continue to exist year-after-year without evaluation as to its continuing relevance. A “sunset provision” when an agency is created may help to overcome this potential issue. Please define or otherwise explain the term “sunset provision” in the context of the creation of an agency. Also, explain how such a provision may help the public.

Assignment 3: Long-Term Investment Decisions

Due Week 9 and worth 300 points

Assume that the low-calorie frozen, microwavable food company from Assignments 1 and 2 wants to expand and has to make some long-term capital budgeting decisions. The company is currently facing increases in the costs of major ingredients.

Use the Internet and Strayer databases to research government policies and regulation.

Write a six to eight (6-8) page paper in which you:

1. Outline a plan that managers in the low-calorie, frozen microwaveable food company could follow in anticipation of raising prices when selecting pricing strategies for making their products response to a change in price less elastic. Provide a rationale for your response.
2. Examine the major effects that government policies have on production and employment. Predict the potential effects that government policies could have on your company.
3. Determine whether or not government regulation to ensure fairness in the low-calorie, frozen microwavable food industry is needed. Cite the major reasons for government involvement in a market economy. Provide two (2) examples of government involvement in a similar market economy to support your response.
4. Examine the major complexities that would arise under expansion via capital projects. Propose key actions that the company could take in order to prevent or address these complexities.
5. Suggest the substantive manner in which the company could create a convergence between the interests of stockholders and managers. Indicate the most likely impact to profitability of such a convergence. Provide two (2) examples of instances that support your response.
