FOUNDING FATHERS RESEARCH PAPER POLITICAL SCIENCE 2 Introduction to American Government & Politics , Due Date, & Page Length: 50 points. This paper is due at the beginning of class on Friday, November 15, 2019. The minimum page length is four pages. Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to acquaint you with the political thought of the Founding Fathers by applying their political philosophy to a current event. In addition, through this exercise, students should become familiar with the basics of academic research.Instructions: Part 1 Current Event: Students should identify and explain a government action at the local, state, or federal level that occurred between January 1, 2019and the present. Alternatively, a student can identify and explain an action by a private entity or person that occurred between January 1, 2019and the present which implicates a right or duty in the U.S. Constitution or its amendments. To identify a current event, students are encouraged to review news headlines from reputable news outlets, the course syllabus, the assigned reading, or other reputable sources. Students should pick a topic that implicates one or more of the themes discussed in relation to government and politics. Such themes include, but are not limited to, God, the relationship between God, the State, and man, the relationship between Church and State, justice, law, authority, subsidiarity, religious freedom, liberty, federalism, civil liberties, and civil rights. In order to examine a current event, students must rely on primary sources (a document written during the time under study by a source that was present at the time of the event, e.g. statutes, regulations, case law, executive orders, treaties, provisions of the Constitution, etc.)1 and secondary sources (a source that is one or more steps removed from the primary source which interprets and analyzes the primary source, e.g. newspapers, magazines, peer-reviewed academic journals, commentaries, etc.).2 For additional requirements in this section, consult the checklist below.Part 2 Founding Father: Once you have identified a current political problem that interests you,review the list of Founding Fathers below and choose one that interests you.Students must choose a Founding Father from the individuals listed as signatories to theDeclaration of Independence, the Constitution, or Other Founding Fathers below. For Part 2 of this paper, locate research materials that will enable you to write a thorough summary that identifies and explains your Founding Fathers political ideasthat arerelevantto the political problem you chose. In order to accomplish this task, you will want to do enough research to locate primary sources, read them, and incorporate your findings in your discussion. Examples of primary sources include speeches, letters, newspaper articles, and pamphlets written by your Founding Father. In addition, theFederalist Papers, Anti-Federalist Papers, the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, and the Articles of Confederation are also primarysources. You may also consult secondary sources such as biographies, peer-reviewed scholarly articles, books, magazine articles, and reputable web articles to assist you in your research. For additional requirements in this section, consult the checklistbelow.1 What is a Primary Source? (n.d.) https://www.princeton.edu/~refdesk/primary2.html.2 What is a Primary Source?(n.d.) from https://www.princeton.edu/~refdesk/primary2.html. 2Part 3 Application of Your Founding Fathers Political Philosophy to the Current Event You Chose: Once you have identified a current event and a Founding Father, analyze the current event you chose in light of your Founding Fathers political philosophy. In other words, based your Founding Fathers political philosophy, would your Founding Father support the current event you chose or not? Is the current event you chose consistent with the Constitution andFoundingPrinciplesornot?Thisportionofthepapershouldconstitutethemajorityofyour paper. In order to have a successful paper, especially in the application portion of the paper, you will need to engage in extensive research to assist you with drafting your essay (i.e. a minimum of seven sources). However, to avoid the penalties for cheating and plagiarism, please be sure to use your own words and cite the relevant sources. For additional requirements in this section, please consult the checklistbelow.In order to ensure that your paper is successful, you will want to make sure that the Founding Father you chose generated enough primary source material that is relevant and closely connected to the political problem that you are going to analyze. In the alternative, you should make sure that there is enough primary source material from your Founding Father in the philosophical or policy area that is related to the political problem you chose. In the event that you chose a Founding Father that does not have sufficient primary source material, the expectation is that you will draw on primary source material from the contemporaries of the Founding Father you chose. For example, if you chose a Federalist who wrote only a little on the subject of foreign policy, you will want to find another Federalist who wrote more on foreign policy to support your analysis and the arguments of the Federalist you chose.All papers must include a bibliography page listing the materials used to derive the content and arguments. All citations must be formatted according to the Chicago Manual of Style specifications. Students must use complete sentences and paragraphs in response to all questions. These materials will be graded primarily on content, including clarity, thoroughness, and relevance. However, a portion of your grade will be based on grammar, spelling, usage, and presentation.
