Hello,
Thank you for the assistance. Instructions are attached. I have also included the EXACT EVENT that the paper instructions are requesting. That can be located in the second PDF. PLEASE utilize at least the two sources provided below from JSTOR. Thank you.
Also, I utilized https://adfontesmedia.com/ as a filter for seeing how biased each media organization is for my question, although I do not know if that is fully needed for this assignment. Thank you so much for the help.

Instructions will be included in documents added pictures are from the book being discussed since there was not a digital version of the book it needs to be referenced but other sources are needed also

2 pages per answer (Define, Explain, Examin):
1) Motivations for Confederation
2) Rule of Law in Canada (how it works/ how it doesn’t work)
3) Responsible government (historical examples) (must explain in terms of convention)
4) Federalism

1) Watch a news program or listen to a podcast that is at least 30 minutes long once a week, this can be any network or an online source as long as it is a mainstream news source (so no InfoWars or any of that silliness). 2) Write a one-page paper with a header that includes the name of the program, the dates/times watched, and the channel/source. 3) The bulk of the one-page paper should connect at least one of the course readings to at least one topic that was featured in the news over the two week period. If you miss an entry, you will lose 20 points.
Here is the video you watch
I have also provided the articles you can use to connect this with.

An odd sickness has been reported in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and Wisconsin’s northern counties. People are getting constant headaches and in extreme cases, some are also being treated for water intoxication after drinking too much water after the onset of the headaches. Those afflicted are filling up hospitals, and straining medical facilities in the mostly rural regions. The Governor of Michigan, Robert James Ritchie, commonly known as the singer “Kid Rock”, has ordered a State of Emergency, activating medical teams to be sent from southern Michigan to assist in caring for the afflicted.
The Governor of Wisconsin, Gov. B. Whitford, has declared a State of Emergency as well and asked for help from the federal government. President Dwayne Herbert Camacho has agreed and has sent two Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) assistance teams of epidemiologists, doctors, nurses, and aid workers to both Wisconsin and Michigan to help in the emergency and figure out the nature of the illness.
Problems arise when the team for Michigan get to the border of Michigan and Indiana (the Wisconsin team arrives and begins work in Wisconsin).
They are met by Michigan National Guard troops who have orders from the Governor to stop the federal relief workers and send them back to Indiana.
This happens at the same time that Gov. “Kid Rock” Ritchie announces that the cause of the sickness is Canadians and that he is ordering all crossing from Canada to the Upper Peninsula closed, including the Sault St. Marie International Bridge to Ontario.
The Canadian President issues a protest to this closing of the international border, and President Camacho’s spokesperson condemns the illegal actions of Gov. “Rock”, saying the administration will respond appropriately.
Give me a response about the appropriateness of the actions of the Governor of Michigan, Governor of Wisconsin, and President in this scenario with regards to the powers of each, taking into account what we have read about Federalism in the text, discussed in lecture, and anything discussed in the current events section of the course. Who is right? Who is wrong? Tell me why!
