This essay should be a minimum of five full pages (not counting the works cited), in MLA format, include two to three sources, and is due on Saturday, April 14th. One or two of the sources should be from the in-class readings.

You pick the approach source(s) as you wish. They can come from the textbook, and you can use academic articles related to the text or issue.

You could also use essays we haven't read from the book-or even bring in essays from outside our text that apply to your topic. They all need to fit together in some logical way for your purposes. Here are several possible methods:

Essays written in direct response to one of these sources. If you think some essays have clearly been inspired by, for example, the Constitution, develop their ideas in particular directions and analyze how they have picked up where they left off.

Essays written in direct or indirect rebuttal to one of these sources. If you think some essays have an implicit or explicit tension with Machiavelli, analyze how they respond their ideas or try to mitigate his moral shortcomings. You can also include in this section essays that respond favorably to his; it does not have to be entirely oppositional.

Essays that fill in blanks left by one of the sources. How do the writers of the Constitution try to deal with Rousseauian ideals in an extremely less-than-ideal world? How does Arendt's argument that terror is necessary for rule fill in Machiavelli?

Essays that respond to the intellectual space created by one of these sources. Without thinking directly of works, writers often work in an environment set up by those works. How has Arendt built on the ideas of Machiavelli?

at least 5 pages, double spaced, one inch margins

12 point Times font
