Answer one of the following:
- The authors of Congress and Its Members finished writing the 19th edition in mid-2023. Pick any chapter in Part IV of the book (ch. 10-15) and write a three-page update. What events of the past year should materially change their analysis when they write the 20th edition? (Make sure to re-read the chapter carefully before answering.)
- Pick any law that Congress has passed since (and including) 1975. Explain how that law has directly affected you or someone you know. Did the drafters of the law anticipate such an impact? If so, how? If not, why not?
- You may also write on a relevant topic of your choice, subject to my approval.
- Essays should be typed, double-spaced, and no more than three pages long. I will not read past the third page.
- Submit papers as Word documents, not pdfs or Google docs.
- Cite your sources with endnotes in standard Turabian format. Endnote pages do not count against the page limit.
- Misrepresenting AI-generated content as your own work is plagiarism and will result in severe consequences.
- Watch your spelling, grammar, diction, and punctuation. Errors will count against you -- especially errors that I have noted on previous papers.
- Return essays (again, as Word documents, not pdfs) to Canvas by 11:59 PM, Wednesday, May 7. (If you have trouble uploading, simply email it to me as an attached Word document.) I reserve the right to dock papers will one gradepoint for one day’s lateness, a full letter grade after that.
