Instructions:
Write a short paper with a thesis statement and based on evidence in the primary sources provided in the document. Your paper will be a response to the question provided below, with your answer serving as your thesis statement. Rely on as many of the texts as possible for evidence to back up your thesis.
Assume that your reader has read the documents, attended class lectures and discussions, read the course textbook and required readings, and has a basic understanding of the time period. Your paper should not merely explain the documents or the time period but make an original argument.
While it is not prohibited, I discourage you from using sources beyond the documents provided. You can use secondary sources, like your textbook to contextualize the documents, but your argument should draw evidence from the documents and primary sources provided in the attached document.
Since your references are limited to the assigned texts, you may use parenthetical citation rather than the Chicago style citation. Cite as follows: (Kant, line 10).
