The purpose of this assignment is to broaden your understanding of a community, develop analytical skills regarding communities in relation to specific populations and their needs, and to better plan and develop interventions to address issues and problems facing the community.This assignment has three parts: Part I Understanding Your Community, (Monroe Michigan) where you will consider the current demographics of the community and analyze how that has changed over the past 20 years; Part II Community Assessment, where you assess your community and a problem within your community; and Part III Community Action Plan, where you develop a specific action plan to address the problem you identified. As you reflect on the learning resources and concepts from Weeks 1-4, be sure to explain what you have learned about the policy’s effect on various groups. Consider how will this knowledge assist you with your community action plan.By Day 7Submit a 4-6 page paper. The paper needs to be well-researched and written using APA guidelines. Data should come from at least five sources.Part I: Understanding your CommunityAnalyze how your community has changed over the past 20 years.

Consider if you would need multiple strategies, and if so, explain which strategy would be used for each target.Explain any policies that may influence the ability, either supportive or prohibitive, to influence proposed community change.Explain what policies would need to be in place to ensure proposed plans are sustainable.

"If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself.--James Madison, 1788In the above words, the "Father of the Constitution," as he came to be called, James Madison, summarized a key dilemma in crafting a good system of government: "you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself." In an original micro-essay of your own composition, describe here in 2-4 pages (12-point Times New Roman font, 1" margins, double-spaced) how the Missouri Constitution and the U.S. Constitution both independently and, in relation to to each other, "first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself." A strong essay will point to specific examples in both documents, and incorporate such principles as "federalism," as Volkomer described it, and the formation of the United States as a "republic," rather than as simply a "democracy,"
