Compose a brief essay of at least 400 words but no more than 600 words (not including your references list) on the following topic, referring to and critiquing relevant ideas from at least three of the Week 3 readings as you develop your thoughts: Based on your reading of the Constitution's Articles II and III and the First Amendment, and considering carefully the originalist and living document theories of judicial review, make an argument that the decision of the Supreme Court in New York Times Co. v. United States was either correct or incorrect.
Note: You may also briefly bring in explanatory information that you have found in your research on the case or on the opinions of the justices-but do not use Wikipedia as a source, as it is not generally considered sufficiently credible for academic writing. Be sure to include in-text citations for such information and also to include these sources in your references list. Remember, this background is not the focus of the assignment and so, should not dominate in your essay. We are not expecting a major research essay, but rather, a thought piece that uses ideas from the assigned readings and, potentially, other resources.
Write in essay form (that is, in paragraphs, not in bullet points).
