Prompt: What were the Articles of confederation and why did it fail? List three (3) reasons why the Articles of confederation failed and explain how these failures were addressed in the US Constitution following the dissolvent of the AOC. Questions to answer in your paper: What were the conditions that led to this particular document being written? (what kind of government did they want to create and did it succeed?) What were the fundamental ideals expressed in the AOC? Why was it written this way? What did the failure of the AOC teach the founding fathers when drafting the US constitution? What changes were made in the US Constitution to reflect these failings? (Use examples and explain). Students will be expected to write 1000-1200 words (roughly 4-5 pages body section) to address these prompts. Writing less than the minimum word requirement will reduce your final grade by one full letter grade. You will have no less than Five (5) sources cited in your paper. Include a bibliography of all the sources used, and make footnotes after each quote used to cite them. Don’t make it look too professional, use 5 quotes from any academic or primary source, and then use 5 quotes from my text book linked here:

Palette of Narmer and Political Messaging Is there a difference between political messaging today and that in Ancient Egypt?   The Palette of Narmer was created in Ancient Egypt in 2900-2500 BCE at the beginning of the “dynastic period” and is considered to be seminal  in that it set a standard for Egyptian Art that will last for over 3000 years.  With this work, pharaohs began to commission artworks to proclaim their power and copied many of the strategies on display in this work.   How does this work of art reflects Egyptian ideas of political and social hierarchies?    I would like you to consider what is the political message of the work?  What kind of leader does it portray?  What kind of society does it visualize? Please speak to how this is achieved through the visual conventions such as hieratic scale, idealized figures, composite view, and canon of proportions. Next choose a modern political image which you will post with this discussion.  The modern political image should date from between 1900-2020 and should take the form of a political poster which can either be from the USA or another country. Shepard Fairey’s  Hope  poster from 2008 is such an example. There are many such posters and you can search  “presidential campaign posters” as a start in your research.  Artstor is a good resource for this project which is available through our library.  Please submit your image to the same analysis.  What kind of leader does it portray?  What kind of society does it visualize?  How is this achieved through the visual conventions (hieratic scale, idealized figures, composite view, and canon of proportions) used by its authors.

Agricultural pessimism is one of the pillars of development economics. What is agricultural pessimism? What are its key theoretical elements, and what is its implication for development policy?

Respond to the following two questions (1 page for each question): 1. Based on Jeremy Brecher’s account of the 1877 railroad strikes in “The Great Upheaval,” why did many workers who were not employed by the railroad companies support the striking railroad workers? 2. Do you think that a fundamental class conflict between working people and employers still exists in contemporary America as it did in 1877, during the Great Upheaval?  If your answer is yes, provide examples of fundamental class conflict in our economy and political system. If your answer is no, explain why you think class conflict is no longer a key factor in the U.S. today.

The Bill of Rights are the First Ten Amendments included in our Constitution. Explain why the Founding Fathers felt that we needed these rights to to ensure we had protection of our Civil Liberties. In the readings, we see how the Courts have helped to interpret how the Bill of Rights have been expanded by the Fourteenth Amendment to apply to the states as well. Discuss how the Supreme Court did this by explaining Selective Incorporation. Once you have done this, explain some of the limitations placed on these rights by listing at least three instances where this has happened. This can include the First Amendment liberties such as limitations on religion, speech, or assembly, or any of the other Bill of Rights. There are plenty of examples of how no right is absolute. Find three of these examples and explain them as well as cite cases where the Court made these determinations. Finally, discuss the Second Amendment and what rights the Courts have determined we have to Bear Arms. Do you believe this right is absolute? Explain why or why not? What changes do you see if any in the 2nd Amendment? I will create a rubric that will guide you writing a thorough paper.

Outside sources are not allowed. NO OUTSIDE SOURCES!!! Chicago style. The formatting of the essay and all citations need to follow Chicago Manual of Style format.

Four developments were necessary to create the culture of capitalism after 1450: the Consumer, the Laborer, the Capitalist, and the Nation-State.  Questions for the Essay are below Thesis Statement: Thesis statement should be formulated based on these following questions 1.What makes the Laborer and the Consumer so crucial to the development of capitalism? Are sweatshops really inevitable and do they alleviate poverty in third-world countries? Do you think the instances noted on the PBS Affluenza time (http://www.pbs.org/kcts/affluenza/diag/history.html) correlate well with Robbins’ explanation of the growth of consumerism and affluenza, Robert, or do they have different emphases?    2. What was gained and what was lost by the formation and spread of this new culture of capitalism? You will need to explain the two developments in detail and clarify the benefits and costs of those two developments. based on the two chapters from Richard Robbins, Global Problems and the Culture of Capitalism (7th edition) (chapter 1 and chapter 2) and all the sources provided
