In a 750-1,000-word essay, address the following statement: “The Founders created a flawed Constitution. It simply no longer works for our progressive society.” In your essay, do two things: a) briefly identify and describe any three aspects of the original Constitution (this does NOT include any of the amendments) that you believe are flawed; and b) replace those three flaws with three changes you believe would better serve “We The People.”
Be sure to support your argument with sound reasoning and evidence. Draw from this week’s study materials, including videos and readings. In addition to the weekly study material, you may use between THREE to FIVE outside sources. Provide examples and illustrations from readings to support your argument.
Assignment Guidelines:
My recommendation for how to proceed.
1) Carefully read/view the study material. Take notes.
2) For your essay, provide a one-paragraph introduction, approximately two-page body of the essay, and a one-paragraph conclusion.
3) Be certain your essay is well organized (e.g., headings, paragraphs), written (e.g., good style, solid grammar, punctuation, etc.), and clear (e.g., makes sense; is logical and easily understood).
4) Use APA citation style. Include a separate page titled “References,” where you list in alphabetical order all of the sources you cited or quoted in your essay. I expect to see at least one citation or quotation from each of the required study materials. Do NOT over cite or quote. This is supposed to be your work, not the authors you are citing. You should aim to include 8-10 citations and/or quotations throughout your entire essay. Although the Bible is not listed, I certainly expect you to reference it. Biblical references count as a citation or quotation.
6) And be certain to include a CWV perspective.
