Political Scandals in American Politics

Directions: The paper must be type written in Times
Roman, 12 point font, and double-spaced.
Important: You should not use
outline format or write short answer responses. Also, more details and an
in-depth discussion will only help your response.
As a guide, the best exams are more than 18 to 20
pages. In your responses, provide the following:
1. Evidence from the
book we’ve used in this class (DO NOT USE OUTSIDE SOURCES).
2. Be sure to provide
ample cases and individuals mentioned in the book to answer the
questions.
3. Provide page numbers
from the book, as a form of citation.
4. Bold the questions
before responding–only the question–NOT the responses.
As a reminder, the opinion portions of the paper are equally
important as the factual portions. You must defend your position, in
similar fashion as the factual portions of the paper.
