Assess students' ability to apply separation of powers and checks and balances to a fictional municipal dispute: a mayor declares an emergency curfew that restricts protests, the city council challenges the order, and the local court reviews its legality. Tasks: identify each branch’s roles and limits, analyze how emergency powers interact with freedom of assembly, evaluate available checks (council legislation, judicial review, appeals), and propose a constitutionally grounded resolution with a step-by-step process that balances rights and public safety.
