Answer to Question 1

Political participation

Answer to Question 2

An ideal response will:
1, Identify that the Supreme Court ruling in Rostkerheld that the male-only draft does not violate the Constitution.
2, Explain how many argue that women and men are equal. Therefore, both genders should have an equal opportunity to serve in the military, including in combat roles. Indeed, women have been attached to combat troops in Iraq and Afghanistan without major incident.
3, Explain that those who are against women in combat argue that women have less upper-body strength than men and that men could not fight effectively next to a wounded woman, while those favoring it argue that some women surpass some men in strength and that we do not know how well men and women would fight together.
