1. Assignment Prompt
In this assignment I want you to take on the persona of a
Patriot. Be sure to briefly explain who you are (social
status/profession) and where you live. Choose to be a member
of one of the groups listed.
In the late 1760s and early 1770s (between the end of the Seven
Years War and the beginning of the Revolution) you were upset
with the imperial/colonial government. It is now a quarter-
century down the road from your youth, you are well into your
middle-aged years, with idealistic children, and a grandchild or
two, of your own. You and your generation have sacrificed
much to bring about the United States and its new government
under the Constitution. President George Washington's
Administration is in place, Congress has been elected, and the
form of the new government is taking shape. Are you satisfied
with the new government under the recently ratified
Constitution? Do you think your 20-something year old self
(the protester from the 1760s) would be happy with the way
things turned out? You have decided to write a treatise (a fancy
word for an essay) upon this subject as a gift to your
grandchildren. In it you will think about your main social,
political, and economic grievances from the 1760s in relation to
your current beliefs. Have things turned out well for you and
your group? Have your grievances from the 1760s been
redressed (or are no longer relevant)? Have new political,
economic, or social issues replaced them for your
socioeconomic group in the 1780s? Has your group met their
social responsibilities to the new nation, have they
compromised where needed for the greater good or selfishly
looked after their own interests? What, if anything, is left to be
done for your group? Most importantly, would your 1760s self
believe that you held onto your ethics even as war raged around
you; have you remained true to the ethical stands you took in
the 1760s or have you grown more pragmatic with age and
experience?

2. Be sure to use the Rule of Three in this assignment. You should
have an intro with thesis statement, at least three paragraphs in
the body (one old for each point of the thesis) and a
conclusion.
The best way to organize is to use political, economic, and
social as your thesis points
.
This essay should be a minimum of 5 paragraphs long. The first
paragraph is your introduction with thesis statement. The
second through fourth paragraphs (the body) will discuss social,
economic, and political reforms (you should organize in this
way, minimum of one paragraph on economic, one paragraph on
social, and one on political). Each paragraph of the body must
have its own thesis statement and there should be at least three
pieces of evidence (properly cited in Turabian format) in
support (the "rule of three" for analytical writing). The last
paragraph is the conclusion.
You will be using modified Turabian FOOTNOTES in this
assignment. You must provide the footnote, including locating
information, for each of your three pieces of evidence per body
paragraph (so a minimum of 9 footnotes required).
THESIS - Do you have a well thought out and clear thesis?
EVIDENCE - You must have solid evidence for each point you
raise in the thesis. Evidence is not simply a statement, there
must be an explanation of how that evidence supports the thesis
statement. You must provide a MINIMUM of THREE pieces of
evidence in support of your argument.
Example: If you were writing a paragraph on the causes of the
Cold War, you might use the Baruch Plan as an example.
Simply writing "the Baruch Plan was a cause of the Cold War"

3. in your paragraph would not be enough to earn a point.
However, the following sentences would earn a point:
"One cause of the Cold War was the failure of the United States
and the Soviet Union to agree upon a plan for nuclear
disarmament after World War II. The Baruch Plan, presented
by the US, would maintain the American atomic weapon
advantage for the foreseeable future. This played into Stalin's
suspicions of the Americans' true motivations toward the
USSR."
You should have a minimum of three pieces of evidence in
support of your thesis (each point of the thesis needs at least
one piece of evidence in support). There are three possible
points here, one for each piece of evidence.
HISTORICAL ACCURACY, CLARITY, AND LOGIC
Is your argument clear and does it make sense? Is it historically
accurate? Does your evidence prove your point?
PROPER CITATION
Have you properly cited? Have you used the format required in
this course (modified Turabian). You must also FOOTNOTE
(see information about creating a footnote in Word given at the
beginning of the course). Parenthetical cites are NOT allowed.
No research allowed, so no outside sources.
