In a 1300-1800 word (5-7 page) paper, present a clear and focused argument in support of your proposed solution. An argument is more than merely your beliefs or opinions; your position must be based on key concepts, theory, logical reasoning, and supporting evidence. A successful persuasive argument will require that you (a) directly identify and describe the problem and explain why it is a problem for the political system of a primary case and (b) state and explain your solution clearly, acknowledging important assumptions or expectations you are making, and support your position that the solution you propose is appropriate.
Your paper must specifically reference and cite at least five (5) different credible and appropriate sources with at least three (3) “library” sources (those found using OneSearch) at least two of which are peer-reviewed, scholarly articles, and at least one of which is a news article published within the last year.
Credible and appropriate sources for this academic research project do NOT include textbooks, dictionaries, encyclopedias (including wikis), tourist-related documents, or similar secondary or tertiary sources intended to provide general knowledge for the public.
These sources may be consulted as general background information and to assist you in identifying appropriate and credible sources but will not count as part of the minimum five (5) cited sources.
