Biblical and constitutional parameters for the particular policy

  For this Discussion, interact in a free-flowing discussion of the biblical and constitutional parameters for the particular policy focus being discussed this module. In other words, you must discuss the “May” portion of the “May-Can-Should” approach to policy analysis and implementation. Remember to provide thoughts on what government should or should not do from a biblical and constitutional perspective. Also discuss what other groups, individuals, and organizations (possibly including state and local government) should be doing within society to address the policy issues   OVERVIEW The purpose of the Discussion is to begin to analyze and formulate the “May” of governmental authority to enact policy from a Biblical worldview and Constitutional foundations. INSTRUCTIONS For this Discussion, you will interact in a free-flowing discussion of the biblical and constitutional parameters for the policy focus of federal social justice policy. The thread should be short and succinct (3-5 sentences at most per topic) and should encourage greater interaction with your classmates. Thus, you are to post according to the following guidelines:  Biblical: One separate paragraph (3-5 sentences) applying the Biblical principles (section one of the Synthesis Paper Assignment) such as natural law, inalienable rights, sphere sovereignty/covenant, the Sin/Crime distinction and the institutional separation of Church and State to a specific policy. Please remember that simply citing scripture does not constitute a Biblical worldview analysis. You must apply the Biblical principles as discussed in the course.  Constitutional: One separate paragraph (3-5 sentences) referencing the enumerated powers, Articles and Amendments from the Constitution which are relevant to the assigned policy area. NOTE: Avoid the use of the General Welfare Clause as a justification for the legislation unless you can definitively demonstrate that the entire U.S. population will benefit from the legislation, or provide significant Supreme Court rulings to support the use of the clause.  There must be two separate paragraphs. Both paragraphs must focus on the general policy area for the assigned module. For instance, when the course module focuses on criminal justice, the Biblical post must focus on what the Bible says about what government may or may not do in fighting crime. Likewise, the Constitutional post must focus on what the Constitution says about what government may or may not do in fighting crime. Specific examples should be used and cited.
