Answer to Question 1

An ideal response will:
1. Today, in part because of television and the Internet, most people know more about Washington than they know about their state capitals, and they know more about the president and their national legislators than about their governor, their state legislators, or even the local officials who run their cities and schools.
2. Voter turnout in local elections is generally lower than in state elections and lower in state elections than in presidential elections.

Answer to Question 2

An ideal response will:
1. Explain that the full faith and credit clause requires state courts to validate and enforce the civil judgments of the courts of other states.
2. Explain that this clause does not require states to enforce the criminal laws or legislation and administrative acts of other states; in most cases, for one state to enforce the criminal laws of another would raise constitutional issues.
