Bill Analysis Assignment
Read the information contained in the Bill Analysis Information File in this Module.
Take the position of a single member of the U.S. Representatives. Whether you choose to be a conservative or liberal, Democrat or Republican…that’s up to you.
Read through the proposed bill as amended by the House Agriculture Committee.
After you have familiarized yourself with the bill, decide where you stand. Ask yourself, based on your own personal perspective, “Is this a good idea for a law?”
Explain, in 400 – 500 words, how you would vote on the bill as a whole and why.
Indicate which parts you would leave in if it was up to you, and what you would leave out, and why.
Pay particularly close attention to the amendments. Is it a good idea for representatives to make changes to proposed bills when it only benefits their state or district, or benefits particular interest groups? Explain why.
