financial practices of government activity within the lives of citizens. After carefully reviewing

this Module’s readings, you will conduct your own research and write a concise but thorough

research paper examining the Constitutional limits on the federal government and the rationale

employed by proponents of a balanced budget amendment to the United States Constitution.
