Is the traditional “left-right” axis adequate in explaining a person’s political ideology?

Essay Questions: You will need to pick one. It must be
at least 350 words. I also expect you to use evidence to make your argument, be
it from my lectures, the textbook, or reputable online sources. I would
recommend making an outline or figuring out what evidence to use starting now.
I will grade these not based on whether you are “right”, but how well you make
your argument. Have fun with it!!
