Answer to Question 1

Answer:
An ideal response will:
1. Briefly explain/define the pluralist and elitist perspectives.
2. Argue which perspective might apply to defense. Defense is an arena that likely does not have a diversity of interests vying for power and access to decision makers. Defense policy is likely influenced by a few elite interests such as defense contractors and well-informed military related interests, thus an elitist perspective is appropriate.
3. Argue which perspective might apply to education policy. Education policy is likely influenced by a variety of interests. Most adults either have children in schools, had them at one time, or will have them in the future. Accordingly, it is a policy arena that directly affects many people. Thus, many people and interests likely weigh in in this policy arena. Therefore pluralism may be the appropriate perspective here.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: An ideal response will:
1. Note that the preamble to the Constitution discusses issues related to liberty, welfare, and defense.
2. Explain that people allow themselves to be regulated and taxed in exchange for protection of people and property.
3. Indicate that the American social contract requires balancing government interference with protecting core liberties.
4. Reveal that providing defense is a necessary function of government.
