Paper 2 Assignment Overview Your paper will explore some topic pertaining to judicial politics, which could include some aspect of judicial decision-making, legal institutional features, or interbranch relations. The specific topic of the paper will be of your choosing. You will need to conduct independent research on the topic and cite sources appropriately. Papers are to be 1500 words in length (not including name, title, or reference page citations) Topic Areas (1) Explore and examine a voting or elections case handled by the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division Voting Section (https://www.justice.gov/crt/voting-section); identify litigators and key arguments in the case; identify and explain existing laws and/or precedents connected to the case; and make an argument about whether the Department of Justice, the court(s), or both got the case right or wrong, and explain why. (2) Do so for another case law area. (3) Topic area chosen by student. Paper Requirements Papers are to be 1500 words in length (not including name, title, or reference page citations). Standard format should be followed also, with 1-inch margins, and 12-point size font. The paper is expected to follow an introductory, body, and concluding paragraph structure. A thesis outlining a clear argument, and around which the rest of the paper is organized, is expected at the end of the introductory paragraph. Body paragraphs should relate to the thesis in a way that helps develop the central premises of the paper. The concluding paragraph should restate the thesis (in different words), reminding the author’s audience of what has been demonstrated in the paper; the conclusion will also state the implications of the paper, that is, what are the big messages to be drawn from the author’s work? References to contemporary data or case examples will help illuminate the author’s central points and add strength to the paper. While you can use and cite the assigned course textbooks as well as newspaper and magazine articles in the writing of your paper, I also require that you use and cite six scholarly sources in the development and writing of your paper. Possible sources of materials include library search engines, Google Scholar (which can be linked to your university account), Lexus Nexus (for relevant newspaper/magazine articles also via the library), and scholarly sources that are cited in the course textbook.

You will be particularly graded on content (strength of research), coherence and organizational development of your central point(s), and style (grammar and citations). Annotated bibliography and outline.

POLS-1301-M50 Intro to Comparative Politics Spring Term 2025 This is a big week to think about Democracy and Democratization - in the words of Karl and Schmitter "What it is...and what it's not" (and we dive more into "what it's not" over the next few weeks). One of the key things we do in comparative politics is not only compare different units of governance (countries, regions, etc.) but we also compare variables OVER TIME. This is especially important when thinking about the processes of how countries democratize as well as "backslide" into authoritarianism or hybrid regimes. Most everything we look at -- Regime Types, Violence, Economies, etc. -- are all dynamic and evolve. So -- keeping in mind temporality and the O'Neil and Karl/Schmitter readings -- Based on the documentary, what makes Ghana (in 2008) a democracy? What does the film show us that "looks" democratic (or not)? Does "democracy" 15 years ago (or 30 years ago) look different than it does today? Keep in mind Karl and Schmitter wrote their piece in 1991, just as the USSR was collapsing and transitions to multi-party politics were occurring throughout Africa. "An African Election" covers the 2008 Ghana election, 16 years after its first multi-party competition. REMINDER To receive FULL CREDIT for each weekly discussion board, students must do the following: ??Read posts by other students ??Post 1 substantial response to the question (250-350 words) ??Post 2 substantial responses to other students (minimum of 150 words per response) ??Cite or refer to appropriate sources (authors/articles, etc.) to support points ??Cite any Al tools used NOTE: If no one in your group has posted yet and
I need you to edit the essay one pdf, make sure i dont leave a single stone un-turned in my analysis, make sure its pur critical thought and not much summarization and everything id explained well and insighfully. only use info inthe sources, read them and then check my paper for gaps. the locke and hobbes paper has two versions, one with AIs recommendations and one without, create one essay for that that has 0% AI while filling the gaps. that essay is missing a polished analysis does not fully cover all three of these concepts public consent, majority rule, and separation of powers in the depth outlined here. MAINTAIN my original voice and my nucanced perspective A+ papers go beyond answering the prompt by using example from life and other philophers. also create a better title. immlooking for an exceptional paper, use critical human thought only. prompt 1. Compare-in depth and detail-how Hobbes and Locke describe human nature and the state of nature. Do they prescribe forms of government consistent with their view of human nature. Resources For Hobbes From textbook Hobbes The Leviathan pp. 176-207 From Module Hobbes Lecture, Hobbes:Points To Ponder, More On Hobbes Participation Hobbes Resources For Locke From textbook Locke Second Treatise On Government pp. 213-243 From Module Locke Lecture, Lockean Highlights, Participation Locke adress gaps in this essay (according to AIs assessment): 1. PUBLIC CONSENT: What Your Essay Covers: You discuss Hobbes’ concept of one-time, irrevocable consent in the social contract and Locke’s ongoing, conditional consent. This is well-addressed in your essay. Gap: The analysis of how these differing views reflect their beliefs about human nature and the consequences for governance could be expanded. For example, tying Locke's trust in reason and accountability explicitly to his model of government would strengthen the comparison. 2. MAJORITY RULE: What Your Essay Covers: This concept is not directly addressed in your essay. You do not explicitly contrast Hobbes' rejection of majority rule with Locke’s embrace of it as essential to democratic decision-making. Gap: Adding a section on majority rule would clarify how Locke’s belief in equality and mutual respect leads to his support for majority rule, while Hobbes’ fear of instability drives his rejection of it. 3. SEPARATION OF POWERS: What Your Essay Covers: You touch on Hobbes’ preference for centralized authority but do not explicitly contrast this with Locke’s advocacy for the separation of powers. Gap: Including Locke’s views on dividing legislative and executive power to prevent tyranny would highlight his commitment to limiting authority and protecting individual rights. HOW TO ADDRESS THESE GAPS: Add a section explicitly comparing majority rule, emphasizing how Locke sees it as a practical expression of equality and consent, while Hobbes rejects it in favor of centralized power. Expand your discussion of separation of powers, contrasting Hobbes’ undivided authority with Locke’s checks and balances to safeguard liberty. Strengthen the public consent section by linking their views on consent more explicitly to their prescribed forms of government and underlying views of human nature
