essay in three paragraphs of critical thinking
1. Compare the US government to the Dominican government-Constitutions, forms of government ......how are they similar and how are they different?
2. What does the Dominican government do well. Find things that it actually does. What are its real responsibilities that it actually succeeds at?
3. What does it do wrong? Don't complain. Give actual ideas and examine why it is and how could it be fixed. Not idealism, reality...talk to parents and family before you write

You will be graded on your ability to think, ask questions of others and separate opinion from fact. I don't want complaints, I want an examination of how a government should work and how it does work....
