POLS 103 J. Scarffe Portfolio – Part 2 (40 Points) Step 1: Think of an amendment that would improve the U.S. Constitution (this can be a significant change or just a clarification of an existing law). Step 2: Research the different views of Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton using the sources provided in the “Hamilton & Jefferson” document on Canvas). Step 3: Write a 4-5-page essay (works cited is an additional page) responding to the following prompts: Describe the amendment you are proposing. Explain why you chose it and how it would make the U.S. Constitution better. Identify the part(s) of the U.S. Constitution that would be most affected by (or are most related to) your proposed amendment. (Be as specific as you can.) Using (and citing) the slides and/or textbook, describe at least two connections to specific course concepts/terms. Using (and citing) at least two sources from the “Hamilton & Jefferson” document, explain how your choices would be viewed from: a. A Jeffersonian perspective, and b. A Hamiltonian perspective. Provide a separate works cited page citing all sources used, including course materials, in MLA or APA format. Ensure every idea that is not your original thought has an in-text reference and a supporting end-source citation. The minimum sources required are five: two for prompt 2, two for prompt 3, plus the Constitution. Step 4: Save your work as a “.docx” or PDF file. Save frequently and back up to cloud services such as Dropbox or Google Docs, or use a flash drive. Step 5: Submit your essay on or before the due date, via Canvas or in class, in “.docx” or PDF format by 11:59 PM. Grading will be based on how well your work addresses the prompts, analysis quality, integration of course concepts, proper citation, and writing quality, with scores ranging from 23 (significantly flawed) to 40 (flawless & exceptional).
