Question.809 - Step #1: Read this: Plural Executive Officials This assignment requires you to apply what you are learning, so the answers will not be written straight out of the file above. You need to first understand what each power/responsibility listed for each official(s) mean. The readings in the textbook will help with that if you need further examples of what is written in the slides. Step #2: To which plural executive official should one go to for the following? What specific power or responsibility makes this official the correct person to go to? The plural executive officials you are to choose from for this assignment are the ones discussed in the Plural Executive Officials handout. You do not need to put the name of the official, just his/her title (e.g. governor, etc.). Do not list all the powers and responsibilities of the official. If you do so otherwise, your response will be marked wrong. The whole purpose of the assignment is for you to determine which specific power or responsibility makes this official the correct person to go to. You can use the same official more than once. Each question is worth 2 points. If you got the "Official" portion wrong, then the "Power/Responsibility" portion of your answer will also be marked wrong for that question. If you got the "Power/Responsibility" portion wrong but got the "Official" portion correct, then you will be awarded 1 point for that question. Please number your responses and follow the assignment format below. Example: request for your brother’s ten-year prison sentence be reduced Official - governor Power/Responsibility - grant a commutation The governor can grant a reprieve, commutation, or pardon. A commutation is the reduction of a punishment. However, these can only be granted for state offences and the governor will need the recommendations of the Board of Pardons and Paroles.
