Constitutional Admendment

With this first paper you are to pick a constitutional amendment, or sub-section of one, and analyze it. You should consider its proper context, not only the original intent of the framers but how the amendment/segment has been used in subsequent American history. With this notion in mind, you are to consult analysis on both sides of the political spectrum (you may use your textbook for this assignment, consider it a leftist perspective on most issues). In addition to the textbook and anything from class, you must find two outside scholarly sources and properly cite them in your paper. 750 words of written text. A header and a bibliography do not count toward this total. Also include an original title and page numbers. Double spaced. Twelve point Times New Roman font. One-inch margins. An introduction which includes a thesis statement, a body to the essay, and a conclusion are all required. Paragraphs are expected to be 6-8 sentences (10-16 lines of text) and will give a complete and coherent thought. Only quote when you actually need to from one of your sources — avoid quoting things that you can paraphrase in your own words or background information. Limit the amount of quotes, this paper needs to be your argument, not a source’s. Outside sources are from only from reputable sources (academic publications, scientist websites, etc., anything that is peer reviewed. Sources like Wikipedia or works by authors whose credentials cannot be verified are to be avoided. All sources used must be cited in the text of your paper and listed in a bibliography. Avoid the use of the first person in most instances — instead of ?I feel the sky is blue,? use ?The sky is blue.?
