Short Research Paper #2 (political philosophy)

Order Description

The papers must each be 2 pages long (not including the title page and bibliography), in current Turabian format, with default margins and in 12-pt Times New Roman
font. Your papers must include citations to adequate sources supporting and/or illustrating your positions. Your papers must include a title page and bibliography,
also in current Turabian format.
Do not let the short length requirement of the papers mislead you. Concise writing is often more demanding than expansive writing. The goal of the papers is not merely
to offer unfounded opinion or subjective discussion of the topics, but rather to provide a concise, well-reasoned analysis of the topics presented.
This is an open research project, meaning that you are expected to locate, use, and cite support outside of the course readings. Superficiality is a danger with this
topic as it would be easy to write 2 pages without reaching the substance of the discussion. Better papers will demonstrate that you sufficiently pondered the ideas at
issue to understand them, recognize them, and develop a well-reasoned approach to them.
Be sure to read closely the grading rubric for the assignment and note that at least 5 scholarly sources (peer-reviewed academic journal articles or books published by
university presses) are required.
Scriptural excerpts with citations are required in all written assignments.
