5 paragraphs (minimum, including introduction and conclusion)
Sources: Be sure to cite evidence from the Constitution and at least three of the following: John Locke’s Two Treatises of Government, the English Bill of Rights, Baron de Montesquieu’s The Spirit of Laws, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s The Social Contract. Those sources can be found HERE in the Connexus 2.14 lesson (slide 3). You should discuss ONE source and where evidence of that source’s influence can be seen in the Constitution in each paragraph.
Way Too Simple Example (do a better job than this): In the Constitution, we have Federalism [explain what that is] and that comes from Rousseau… [and then explain further what Rousseau said].
Your three body paragraphs should each deal with at least one or more of the sources above and how they influenced one or more of the six main principles outlined in the Constitution.
limited government.
republicanism.
checks and balances.
federalism.
separation of powers.
popular sovereignty.
All sources should be cited in a “Sources” section at the bottom of your paper using MLA format
