Research paper about Marine Le Pen: her early life, rise to political prominence, political views, political controversies, campaigns and elections, her current position(s), and her future prospects. Include an intro, body, and conclusion. Needs APA in-text citations as well as a works cited/bibliography page at the end.

This assignment is comprised of 2 parts, the first of which is due this week. Part II will be due in Week 7.
In Part I this week, choose a case from your state that involves civil rights or civil liberties that was decided by the United States Supreme Court. If your state does not have a case that was decided by the United States Supreme Court, choose a civil rights case from another state for which the United States Supreme Court issued a decision.
Here is a brief description of civil rights and civil liberties: Civil rights refers to equal social opportunities under the law. It gives you these freedoms such as the right to vote, the right to public education, or a fair trial, among other things, regardless of your wealth or race. Civil liberties mean freedom of religion, equal treatment and due process under the law, and the right to privacy.
You should be able to go online and look up your state and famous cases decided by the Supreme Court. For example, Brown v Board of Education (1951) started in Topeka, Kansas, and ended up in the Supreme Court of the United States. Another example would be Calvary Chapel Dayton Valley v Steve Sisolak, Governor of Nevada (2020) that started in Nevada and ended up the United States Supreme Court. A good source of information about cases decided by the United States Supreme Court is www.scotusblog.com. Other sources can be researched online using search terms for “civil rights cases decided by the U.S. Supreme Court.” Be sure to use a case actually decided by the United States Supreme Court, and not a case decided by your state’s supreme court or a different court. A case that is still pending before the United States Supreme Court should not be used. If you are unsure, please contact your Professor BEFORE you pick your case and submit the assignment as this is a significant part of your overall grade.
Research your court case and write an outline of the case that you will be using to prepare a presentation, which will either be a narrated PowerPoint, a Kaltura Video, or some other format as approved by your instructor. If you are unsure, then verify the presentation format with your instructor before starting work on this assignment.
This week’s assignment should include (a) summary of the case; (b) a case outline; and a summary.
Summary of the Case
In one or two paragraphs, provide a general overview of the case that serves as a snapshot of what the case is about and how it ended up in your state high court. A summary is using your words to write a brief history of the case. Do not give your opinion or your interpretation but stick to the facts only.
Case Outline
Your court case outline should include:
Title: Name of the case
Facts of the case: Provide key facts involving the case.
History of the case: What legal action was taken based on what your state laws say about this case?
Legal questions: What were the legal issues the court had to decide?
Decision or holdings: Did the court decide for the plaintiff or the defendant? Explain the reason behind the decision?
Verdict and opinion (judgement): What were the concurring and dissenting opinions? How many judges decided for the defendant and how many justices decided against the defendant? What was the final verdict from the judge or the jury, if it was a jury trial?
Conclusion:
What was the resulting impact of the ruling? How did the citizens of your state benefit from it? Was this a good decision?
Requirements
The length of your outline will vary. Usually an outline is anywhere from 1-3 pages long. Make sure to write full sentences to explain your case. It is a concise list to be used as a reference for you during the presentation.
Using the outline, you will be describing the court case in your presentation and the scenario around the court case. The use of Wikipedia as a primary source of information is to be avoided – it is not a reliable source of information.
Search for an example of a case outline in the Internet. Without going into much detail at this state, each of the items listed above has a subject sentence with 3-6 bullet points that can help you expand on the topic.
For Week 7, you will be creating a narrated PowerPoint, or a video as approved by your instructor, from this week’s outline.
This assignment is worth 200 points.

This is a , you will write an experimental research proposal. For a political
phenomenon of your interest, propose a causal theory to explain it and a specific experimental
research design to examine your theory. I have attached all the essay’s instructions, with a list of ideas that should NOT be used for this paper and an outline sheet that has questions to guide the writing of this paper. Please take some time to go over the instructions attached, as they are very important and will explain in detail how the paper should be written. This is a very important paper, and I really need your help to get a good grade in it. Thank you

I have attached below the reading that this paper should be reflecting on. I have also attached all the requirements and the criteria of this paper. I would highly appreciate it if you could review the instructions to understand how the paper should be written. No additional resources are required. Only the reading I have attached in the files.

I need to come up with a research question about human traffic .for my order I need for Monday morning my draft of 5 pages .

Read two chapters 15 and 17 of the classic book on power “Prince” by Niccolo Machiavelli. It can be found at:
http://www.gutenberg.org/files/1232/1232-h/1232-h.htm
Machiavelli wrote the Prince (published in 1532) to advise princes about how to get, keep, and use political power. The book is still regarded as one of the most influential books on politics, especially on issues relating to political power.
In light of our class readings on power, write a 3 page essay comparing the textbook definitions of power (see especially week 1) with the notions expressed/implicit in the excerpts from Machiavelli. How can you relate these notions to prevailing norms in contemporary society and politics? Do you think that any of any of the advice offered by Machiavelli can apply to modern day politicians? Why and how? Can you provide some examples? Why not? Please be sure to cite sources in APA citation format as you make comparisons between the different definitions. (Don’t forget to view the rubric for specific expectations.)

For this question run a bivariate regression between levels of depression CESD (dependent variable) and emotional balance (EB in the dataset). Looking at the output EB is significant at the .05 level and for every one unit increase in EB, CESD decreases by approximately .66 units.
Group of answer choices
True
False
(Question 3.) For this question run a bivariate regression between levels of depression CESD (dependent variable) and cognitive status (CS in the dataset). Looking at the output CS is not significant at the .05 level and for every one unit increase in CS, CESD decreases by approximately .77 units.
Group of answer choices
True
False
(Question 4.) For this question run a multivariate regression between levels of depression CESD (dependent variable) and cognitive status (CS), emotional balance (EB), physical health (PH), and age. Select ALL of the answers below that are true about the regression output.
Group of answer choices
EB is significant at the .05 level
CS is significant at the .05 level
PH is significant at the .05 level
Age is significant at the .10 level
On average, holding all other variables constant, a one unit increase in EB leads to a .496 increase in CESD.
On average, holding all other variables constant, a one unit increase in CS leads to a .473 decrease in CESD.

This final exam is designed to assess your ability to apply your research design and data analysis skills toward real world problems. For the exam you will review the attached case studies (Part A and Part B located in the final exam folder) and produce an essay addressing the 4 parts below.
Research Question/Theory of Change/Evidenced Based Review/Logic Model:
This section will start with a clearly specified research question that meets the criteria of a “good question”. Next, you will clearly state the program’s theory of change based on the information from the case study. It is expected that you also include a logic model that aligns with the research question and theory of change.
Methods Section:
As you will read in the case study, the Program Director is concerned with 1) knowing if her program has been successful and 2) to prepare a formal program evaluation. To these ends, in the methods section you have two tasks. First, you will discuss the strengths and weaknesses related to the organization’s current data collection efforts. Second, you will then provide suggestions to improve the organization’s data collection moving forward as they prepare to formally evaluate their program in the future. This section will focus on all aspects of the data generating process (sampling procedures, measurements, instruments, data collection process, etc.).
Data Analysis:
In this section you will use the organization’s existing data to evaluate the success of the program to date. Note, even if the current data is not ideal, you will use what you know as a researcher to provide some insights toward if the program is effective. You will find a data set located in the final exam folder.
Conclusion:
Your conclusion should include an overview of the project and the main findings/suggestions for the program. In this section you should also discuss any limitations related to the data analyzed and the reported findings.

DO NOT USE THE NOTE SECTION. NOTES CANNOT BE SEEN!!!
