  We consider prospects for studying the parity-violating electroweak
excitation of the $\Delta (1232) $ resonance with polarized electron scattering
(see nucl-th/9801025). We discuss the experimental feasibility and theoretical
interpretability of such a measurement as well as the prospective implications
for hadron structure theory. We also analyze the extent to which a PV
$N\to\Delta$ measurement could constrain various extensions of the Standard
Model.
