The attached document is my rough draft. In general, I would like to enhance further and refine my dissertation proposal, including my literature review and research design. First, please write a reasonable and meaningful introduction for this proposal. For the literature review, you should incorporate other US Congress lobbying-related readings (any articles discussing US Congress lobbying politics or ethnic group lobbying except those I already cited). You are welcome to use your ideas instead of the existing part for the research design part. Just make sure this literature review and research design are as strong as possible. Thank you.

Please use below feedback, attache drubric and rough draft to complete final paper.
My feedback below is divided into the sections of the Final Paper Rubric, which I’ll use to grade your final draft at the end of Week Seven.
1) Organization of Thought:
While outside sources are good to use as supporting evidence, remember that the bulk of the paper should be comprised of your own thoughts and analysis.
2) Analyzes Various Perspectives:
Is there any indication of how the death penalty is impacted by the overarching issue of federalism?

3) Policy-Making Process:
Have any states recently changed their death penalty laws? The answer may be no, but if any have, it would be interesting to mention.
Given the impact of the Supreme Court when it comes to the death penalty, are there any indications that they may revisit the issue in the future?
4) Solving Political Challenges:
Including a direct quote or two from an elected official would be a great addition to the narrative.
5) Research:
Your sources look good, so just make sure they’re in APA format.

6) Writing:
Remember that any outside information requires both an in-text citation, in the form of (author, year), as well as a listing on the reference page.
Just be careful of minor grammatical errors throughout the paper. The best way to detect these is to read the paper out loud when you’re done, as you’ll notice these tiny mistakes.
Also, make sure to add a brief abstract at the beginning of the paper.

This final essay is worth 20 percent of your total grade. It should be a minimum of 4-5 double-spaced pages (approx. 1000-1250 words) and include at least six sources from the course materials.
Essay Prompt: It is time to consider the ideas and issues important to your political vision of the future with the knowledge gained throughout this course. To do this, write an essay that responds to Rawls’s ideas of justice-as-fairness and/or political liberalism by also drawing on at least two other political philosophers that support or complete your own political vision.
Guidelines:
You may agree and/or disagree with all or some aspects of Rawls’s. Your focus can be on Rawls’s theory of justice or political liberalism, or both. Your response to Rawls’s ideas may also simply provide a basis for writing about the ideas and issues important to your political vision of the future.
You must engage at least two specific concepts and ideas from Rawls (e.g., veil of ignorance, justice as fairness, political conception of justice, comprehensive doctrine/background, public reason, reasonableness) that are relevant to your argued vision.
You must also engage other concepts and ideas that are specific to your two chosen political philosophers. For example:
Locke: natural law (reason), natural rights (life, liberty, property), self-ownership, private property, popular sovereignty/representation
Rousseau: moral freedom/autonomy, sentiment/compassion, inequality, political equality, private will, general will, civic virtue, and participation.
Kant: freedom/autonomy, universal law and rights, categorical imperative, treatment of others as ends, kingdom of ends, public reason, no legislation of happiness or private interests, articles within perpetual peace, republicanism, cosmopolitanism.
Marx: capital/labor, alienation, human freedom, modes of production, capitalism, global markets.
Mill: individual liberty, social and civil liberty, free speech/opinion, individuality, political authority, harm principle, tyranny of majority, social reform, expansion of rights
Nozick: liberty, rights, property, tax as theft, entitlement, night watchman state, anarchy, utopia
Oher contemporary concepts and issues: gender, race, and cultural biases in the nature of the liberal individual; contractual relations; religious and cultural communities and identities; pluralism and universalism; state sovereignty, cosmopolitanism

Complete a 500-700 word essay (approx. 2-3 double-spaced pages).
Context: With Hobbes, Locke, and Hume, we examined views on the purpose of government and variations on governing by consent, i.e., the social contract. With Rousseau, Kant, and Mill, we shift our focus to freedom, equality, and governing according to distinctions of what is right or what is seen as good.
Instructions: Rousseau, Kant, and Mill argue, in one way or another, that freedom is gained when we mutually coerce one another into political agreement. Choose two of these three philosophers (e.g., Rousseau and Kant or Kant and Mill) and explain this statement. In doing so, be sure to cover the following:
What is the meaning of freedom for your two philosophers?
What role does equality play in freedom for them?
What specific aspects of mutual coercion (e.g., moral and/or political principles, agreement, restrictions) create the conditions of freedom?
Key concepts: positive and negative liberty; moral freedom; autonomy; public reason; universal rights; equality/inequality; rights; united will (kingdom of ends, general will); happiness or happiness principle; social and civil liberty; harm principle

Your essay must follow these guidelines:
Use five sources that incorporate the Lessons and at least two primary sources (original texts) of these philosophers.
Incorporate at least two supporting quotes from each philosopher.
Incorporate relevant key concepts and terms from above.
Use double-spacing and follow correct spelling, grammar, and parenthetical in-text citations (Chicago/Turabian or APA is fine), and references.
Submit in Word (or compatible) document as an attachment in Assignments

Can you please edit my paper to make it sound sense and in order? Also help me edit it to make it sound less AI. Can you please write in the section of the US and mention its factors. You can use a source for this. I am struggling to make this literature review to sound like sense.

While we often hear complaints of “liberal, activist courts” in the popular media, the ideological balance of the Court is much less clear. Explore the ideological balance of the U.S. Supreme Court in your debate journal.
Begin by reading Ch. 14, “The Courts” , then research the official Supreme Court websiteLinks to an external site.. Even more history and background is provided by C-Span featured videos here: C-Span: The Supreme Court: Home to America’s Highest Court(https://www.c-span.org/series/?theSupremeCourt) . (Also view related videos below the Featured Video.)
For your debate journal, list how many and who makes up the current Supreme Court today. Then, answer the following:
Who is the Chief Justice?
Who is considered conservative?
Who is considered liberal?
Who is the swing vote?
Who is the oldest?
Who is the youngest?
Why do you think religion is listed?
How great a role does merit play in the selection of Supreme Court justices?
Do the current justices meet the highest standards of experience and expertise, or have the ideological preferences of presidents led to the choosing of less qualified justices?
Please include any external links to cite your research.

1. One way to strengthen cyber security is to create a policy that increases investment in enhancing the nation’s cyber defense capabilities to protect critical infrastructure, government networks, and private defense sector entities from cyber threats.
2. Another way is a policy that enforces cybersecurity is change all passwords for military personnel every 10 days. Mandating changing passwords will discourage hackers to target such military institutions.
3. Finally, one way to address this issue to engage in diplomatic efforts to establish cyber rules and regulations and effectively discourage cyber attacks. This can be possible by sharing such intelligence of attacks.
—————————————————————————–
The following questions should be answered in that paragraph.

Hi,
I am looking for case studies of Racial discrimination and the social-economical struggle of the Algerian diaspora in France and the United States.
I will compare the two
So far I have a few cases studies on racial discrimination in France but I have not found any in the United States as the population is much lower and Algerians are overgeneralized as the “Middle East community or Muslim”
Here you can mention the immigration process they face such as visa requirements of Algerians entering the US for example there is a certain period of an individual to remain in the US as a visitor many break their visas to stay, you can mention the DV lottery as well. Welfare systems and public benefits such as food stamps and Medicaid. (please mention for french welfare system as well)
Also please mention how colonization contributed to these factors.

Now that we have wrapped up the course, you should have had the opportunity to consider many aspects of the problems America faces, and what direction it seems to be headed in today. Given all that we have discussed, and the many challenges that America likely will have to deal with over the coming decades, what do you personally find most concerning?
Considering all of the above, your discussion topic for the week:
What potential problems in American politics are you most concerned about going forward? In your post, you should consider much of the following:
You are welcome to talk about multiple issues, but I’d recommend limiting yourself to three issues – two issues if you plan to only write at the six sentence minimum. This is just to make sure you have enough space to write thoughtfully about each topic.
The issue(s) you address could be policy-related, or related to the procedures, rules, and institutions of the country.
The issue(s) you address could be a problem that is a major issue right now, or something that you anticipate will become a major issue in the near future. In theory, you are even welcome to speculate about issues that could arise in the very long run (over the next several decades), but you should probably restrict your time horizon to the next fifty years.
What do you think are the prospects for your issue being addressed in the way you want? Are you hopeful? Cynical? Why or why not?
Do you think that your position is commonly held by other Americans? Do you think this will change over the coming years/decades?
Writing a good Discussion Post
Your post should be 6-8 sentences minimum.
You are welcome (and encouraged) to write as much as you would like.
Your post should practice persuasive writing. Imagine you are trying to convince others to adopt your position.
Try to write in a way that will win over people on the fence, or maybe even on the other side, rather than speaking in a way that pleases those who already agree with you.
You are not required to list sources, but you are strongly encouraged to spend some time reading about this topic, and seeing what others have to say.
Try to avoid grammar/mechanical mistakes, and do your best to write in a way that flows nicely.
Rubric for Discussion Post:16 points: Seriously thoughtful discussion, professionally/persuasively written, fully follows guidelines listed above. Exemplary.
14-15 points: Mostly meets the requirements above, but does not stand out. The median post will receive 14-15 points.
10 points: Does not reflect meaningful effort (too short, or shallow in quality).
0 points: Writing is irrelevant to the topic, far too short, and/or contains hostile/inappropriate language.
