For this nation to be truly successful in the area of homeland security, the public has a role to play as well. The task for your group is to recommend, as a group, a policy position on the subject of martial law. In the event of a terrorist attack or a natural or man-made disaster, the question posed to you is should people be required to submit to military policing of U.S. streets?
- Your instructor will divide you into small groups of 4–5 people. You are to use the Small Group Discussion Board to discuss and debate the issues in this task.
- On the Small Group Discussion Board, using the Library, Internet, or any other available materials, complete the following:
- Make a post of 5–7 paragraphs discussing the possibility of martial law in the wake of a terrorist attack or a significant natural or man-made disaster.
- What is the purpose of martial law? Explain.
- What would have to be the magnitude of an event for the government to decide to initiate martial law? Why?
- Currently, how likely do you think it is that martial law will be initiated in response to a significant terrorist attack or natural disaster? Explain.
- With regard to the U.S. Constitution and civil liberties, what are the arguments against the use of martial law? Explain.
- Do you agree or disagree? Explain your position.
- For this assignment, you need to do more than just comment on the other group members’ posts.
- Each group member needs to engage in a conversation with each of the other group members.
- A conversation in this context means that you engage back and forth for at least 3 posts each. All posts must be substantive, meaning they must initiate, or continue a dialogue.
Individual Portion
- Following Hurricane Katrina, citizens’ guns were confiscated, and many were forced to relocate.
- Address the following in 300–500 words:
- Research and summarize the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act.
- Were any constitutional rights violated during Hurricane Katrina with regard to policing by the military on U.S. soil? Why or why not?
- Why have some argued that the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act should be eliminated? Explain.
- Do you agree with its proposed removal? Why or why not?
- All sources must be referenced using APA style.
Group Deliverable
- After the group has debated the issue in accordance with the minimum requirements and to the group’s satisfaction, the group must reach a consensus or compromise position.
- You are to deliver the group’s recommendation as to whether martial law is an appropriate action in the aftermath of a terrorist attack, or a natural or man-made disaster.
- The recommendation of 600–800 words should consist of a report detailing the group discussion, including the following:
- Explanations of initial positions taken by group members and highlights of the ensuing debate
- Any pertinent information obtained by group members during the Individual Portion of the assignment
- The ultimate compromise reached by the group
