Description
Every president since 1945 has faced new circumstances and made decisions that have (often) helped to increase the power of the presidency. Choose a president we have covered in this class, serving after 1945, and consider their response to a major crisis or issue during their tenure in office. (The topic should be one you have not written about in a previous CT assignment).
TOPIC PRESIDENT - RONALD REAGAN
Once you have selected a topic, research the range of response options available to the president, either emanating from their advisors, public pressure, party politics, or their own inclinations, etc. Find at least four (4) primary sources that are closely related to the crisis or the president's response.
Create a visual presentation on the president and crisis or event that you have chosen to research. Consider adding audio to the visual presentation as well.
As you develop your presentation, discuss the options or paths and consider why the president ultimately chose the response they did. How would you evaluate this president's decision-making strategies and his overall handling of the crisis? Were there any implications or results, expected or unexpected, that the president had to manage? How was society impacted or changed by the decision?
