Chapter 13

1. Research federal agencies and explain which one you feel is the most important one and why? I think Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is important. It is a type of federal organization established by Congress with authority to regulate an aspect of the economy or a sector of the federal government. This agency has the responsibility of the quality of air, water, and land. Which we all need those things.


2. Which federal agency could be terminated with the least impact (if any) and why? I think all agencies play an important role, I think they are here for a reason so I really don't see how you could pick one to be terminated.

3. Are any new agencies needed?  In other words, if you were president would you create new agencies?  If so, in what area(s)? I'm sure a new agency could always be needed. But personally I think the agencies we have are doing their job and I can't think of where a new agency would be needed.

Chapter 11

1. Who are your Senators and your Congressman? For class I our Senator for Tennessee is Bob Corker and for class II our Senator is Lamar Alexander. The Congressman for Tennessee is 1st- Rep. David Roe, 2nd-Rep. John Duncan Jr., 3rd-Rep. Charles Fleischmann, 4th- Rep. Scott DesJarlais, 5th- Rep. Jim Cooper, 6th- Rep. Diane Black, 7th- Rep. Marsha Blackburn, 8th- Rep. Stephen Fincher, 9th- Rep. Steven Cohen.

2. Research the areas they champions and find one you support.  What is it and why do you also support it? U.S Congressman Scott Desjarlais, he represents the 4th District of Tennessee. He focuses a lot on the importance of healthcare, employment, and labor.

3. Find an issue one of your Senators or Congressman champions that you disagree with.  Why do you disagree? I would have to say Steven Cohen, after doing some research, Memphis is one of the poorest places in the Nation, not just within Tennessee, so obliviously someone isn't doing their job as well as they should.
