Much of the information is coming from the text, chapters 6 and 7, however, you should use additional outside sources. (NOT WIKIPEDIA  OR ANY ENCYCLOPEDIAS), but must cite. Original sources such as the Constitution or the Bill of Rights must obviously be utilized; others can be found at USConstitution.net, Library of Congress, Documents from the Continental Congress and Constitutional Convention, US National Archives and the National Constitution Center. I also encourage you to utilize diaries or commentary on the events that took place at the Constitutional Convention, as they would add originality and flair, giving your paper not only supporting evidence, but historical texture.The paper should be a minimum of 4 pages and maximum of 6, plus a Works Cited Page. Double space, 1 inch margins and a 12 inch font are required. You can use MLA or Chicago in terms of your format and citations, whichever you are most comfortable with. Please feel free to consult with me if you have questions or need further clarity on the assignment. Good luck, I look forward to reading your paper.
