There are competing historical interpretations about the U.S. decision to drop the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Was the attack on Japan morally justifiable? Did it save lives by avoiding an invasion of Japan in November 1945? Were there other plausible alternatives to the use of atomic weapons and, if so, why were they not pursued?
Research the above topic and write an original research paper of 1,000 words or more. Present both sides of the argument and then express your opinion.
Other questions you might consider while researching and writing your essay are:
· Did Truman authorize the use of atomic bombs for political reasons—to intimidate the Soviets—or was his major goal to force Japan to surrender and bring the war to an early end?
· To what extent did subsequent justification for the atomic bomb exaggerate or misuse wartime estimates for U.S. casualties stemming from an invasion of Japan?
· Were the Japanese ready to surrender before the bombs were dropped? To what extent had Emperor Hirohito prolonged the war unnecessarily by not seizing opportunities for surrender?
· If the United States had been more flexible about the demand for “unconditional surrender” by guaranteeing a constitutional monarchy would Japan have surrendered earlier than it did?
· How greatly did the atomic bombings affect the Japanese decision to surrender?
· Was the bombing of Nagasaki unnecessary? To the extent that the atomic bombing was critically important to the Japanese decision to surrender would it have been enough to destroy one city?
· Would the Soviet declaration of war have been enough to compel Tokyo to admit defeat?

What constitutes an appropriate role for the judiciary? Some people argue that courts have become too powerful and that judges legislate from the bench. What does it mean for a court to be activist? What does it mean for a court to show judicial restraint? Although conservatives have long complained about the activism of liberal justices and judges, in recent years liberals have pointed out that conservative judges and justices are now more likely to overturn precedents and question the power of elected institutions of government. Conservatives counter by saying they are simply returning to an older precedent that had been ignored by liberals. If both liberals and conservatives engage in judicial activism, what is the role of the concept of “activism” (perhaps judicial activism is just a term used to describe a court decision you disagree with)?
