This assignment will require careful, thorough reading and examination of the Constitution and an equally comprehensive posting. Cite specific Articles and Amendments or other portions of the Constitution, as appropriate. Please write an initial post of at least 250-words supported by credible sources on the following question:

How does the U.S. Constitution define the roles and responsibilities for federal, state, tribal, and local governments in the areas of homeland security, emergency management, and public safety?
• Your posting should be articulate and thoughtful – based on your takeaways from this lesson and its assigned readings, yet concise. Include examples from the lesson where appropriate to support your arguments or claims. The discussion forum question is the starting point for discussion. The key is to add your insights, experiences, and additional research as appropriate. However, all information that is not common knowledge must be cited.
