Answer to Question 1

An ideal response will:
1. Explain that crime control is not part of a foreign, defense, or economic policy, and can reasonably be considered a social policy because it promotes the general welfare by protecting citizens from harm.
2. Note that although policing crime is primarily a state and local matter, the federal government contributes funds to states for this activity; and the federal government must also enforce its own laws, protect the borders, and prevent drugs from flowing into the country.
3. Identify the agencies involved: the Department of Justice, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Drug Enforcement Agency, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives.
4. Detail that terrorism has become the federal government's top priority, commenting on the creation of the Office of Homeland Security and the passage of the USA PATRIOT Act.

Answer to Question 2

An ideal response will:
1. Discuss specific programs/legislation like Medicare, Medicaid, and the Affordable Care Act.
2. Discuss why these programs were adopted: Medicare is designed to ensure that seniors have access to health care; Medicaid is designed to ensure that the poor have access to health care; the Affordable Care Act was passed to require coverage of Americans without health insurance. It was also designed to prevent insurance companies from denying coverage to those with preexisting conditions.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
