20 Mar term paper

A term paper of AT LEAST 8 pages of text (typed, double-spaced, with
standard margins and Times New Roman 12-point font) besides any illustrations,
bibliography, and footnotes. The paper will be on any subject related to American
government and politics, but the topic should be cleared with the instructor no later than
February 25th. There should be an analysis of the pros and cons of the issue (if
appropriate) making use of sources on both sides and a discussion of the results of the
legislation or decision. The paper should draw on at least five sources, including at least
one from the internet (but some books as well), but not including the course text or
general encyclopedias. As a rule of thumb, sources that do not include an author’s name
are not acceptable. The idea is to demonstrate that the student has learned something
about the topic beyond what is contained in the class text. Direct quotes should be kept
to a minimum.
