You need to turn in a five-page paper by 27 July on CANVAS, under the “Assignments” tab. This paper must consist of five pages, double-spaced, not including the title page and the references page. You must properly document all of your sources within the text of your essay when you are relying on such sources. Additionally, you must list all sources used on a reference page at the end of your paper. I want you to use at least four sources, including the Barbour and Wright text. This paper will involve a careful and reasoned analysis of some issue in American and/or Nevada politics. A partial and suggestive list might include the politics of Social Security, same-sex marriage, immigration, the rights of the accused,property rights, etc. In so doing, make sure you apply what you are learning in this class to your chosen issue. If, for example, you do immigration, explore the issue of federalism—what role for the federal government, what role for state and local governments. You could also look at the issue from a judicial angle—what have the federal courts said about this issue? What role for the President? Congress? And so forth. Same for something like gun rights—what policy has the federal government adopted?Nevada? What have the courts said? The NRA? What role for the Second Amendment?
