Pick one:
- Take any significant third party in American history and explain why it failed to attain major-party status.
- Pick any super PAC in the 2016 campaign and appraise its performance to date. What are its goals? How well has it achieved these goals? What accounts for its success or failure?
- Explain one of the following relationships: Donald Trump and the Tea Party, or Bernie Sanders and the Occupy Movement. To what extent is the candidate the product of the movement?
Essays should reflect an understanding of class readings and discussions. Many resources, including
CQ Weekly and
Politics in America are at Honnold Library/Databases/CQ Library. You should check other sources as well. See:
The specifications:
- Essays should be typed (12-point), double-spaced, and no more than four pages long. I will not read past the fourth page.
- Cite your sources. Please use endnotes in the format of Chicago Manual of Style. Endnotes do not count against the page limit. Please do not use footnotes, which take up too much page space.
- Watch your spelling, grammar, diction, and punctuation. Errors will count against you. Return essays to the Sakai dropbox for this class by 11:59 PM, Friday, March 11. Papers will drop one gradepoint for one day’s lateness, a full letter grade after that.
