  INSTRUCTIONS: You will write a 6-8 page, double-spaced paper. It is okay to go over this limit. You
\nwill choose a form of political participation other than voting to research. It will require you to
\nexamine political science research and analyze various aspects of how this form of political
\nparticipation is practiced in the United States. The paper must be written with a word processor. You must upload the paper as a Word
\n(.doc or .docx) file by 11:59 on Thursday August 10th
\n. I will only grade papers that are uploaded as
\n.doc or .docx files. Include a cover page which provides a paper title and your name. The cover page
\nwill not count towards your page count. The rest of the text must be at least 6 pages, double-spaced,
\n12-pt. Times New Roman font, and with 1-inch margins on all sides. You need to use proper
\nspelling and grammar. You will need to use at least 5 reputable outside sources, including at least 3
\npeer-reviewed academic sources. The best papers will probably have at least 10 sources.
\nWikipedia, the textbook, and summary websites like procon.org are not valid sources for
\nthis paper.<\/p>\n

PAPER CONTENTS: On the next page you will find the contents you need to include in your
\ncompleted paper. For each section, except for the introduction section, you need to use subheadings.
\nRefer to the provided APSA Style Guide for examples of how to properly use subheadings. You will
\nwant to come up with more creative subheadings than simply \u201cSection 1\u201d or \u201cSection 2\u201d. Good
\nsubheadings will be brief (3-4 words maximum) and provide an accurate or clever description of
\nwhat is to follow in the section. Furthermore, do not deviate from the organizational flow I provide
\nbelow. This provides the organization for your paper. <\/p><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

INTRODUCTION SECTION (1-2 paragraphs): In the introduction section you will need to identify some
\nform of political participation other than voting. Introduce this activity to the reader. What is it?
\nWhat does it entail? Provide a brief history of this activity in the United States. You will also need to
\nprovide a brief \u201croad map\u201d letting the reader know what you will be discussing throughout the
\npaper. Here you are establishing the purpose of your paper, and you are providing an explanation of
\nthe issue at hand.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
 SECTION 1 (~2-3 PAGES): Provide a brief literature review of the political science scholarship (3-5
\npeer-reviewed academic sources) surrounding your chosen political activity. Focus on:
\n1. Patterns: Who engages in this behavior? What groups of people are more likely to practice
\nthis form of political participation? When are people most likely to perform this activity?
\n2. Reach a conclusion: What does all of this say about the action you are writing about? <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
SECTION 2 (~2-3 PAGES): Discuss how ideological and partisan groups encourage collective action
\nby utilizing the form of participation you chose to write about. Specifically:
\n1. Choose and briefly describe some kind of political controversy or issue.
\n2. Identify, describe, and analyze the differences between liberals and conservatives regarding
\nthis issue.
\n3. Discuss the various groups, such as political parties and interest groups, who make up the
\n\u201cliberal\u201d and \u201cconservative\u201d positions for the issue, and describe how these groups
\nencourage the form of political participation your paper is focused on. Are there differences
\nin how these groups mobilize their respective supporters?   <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
  SECTION 3 (~2-3 PAGES): Discuss how people use this activity to lobby the government in regards to
\nthe issue you selected in Section 2.
\n1. Making sure to cover recent developments, analyze the role Congress plays in your issue.
\nWhat power does the Constitution grant Congress in regards to this issue, and what, if
\nanything, has Congress done in recent years regarding this issue?
\na. Identify and discuss how people interact with Congress through the form of political
\nparticipation you chose.
\nb. When, if ever, have people been successful in lobbying Congress in this way? How
\nshould that success be defined?
\n2. Making sure to cover recent developments, analyze the role the executive branch plays in
\nyour issue. What power does the Constitution grant the president in regards to this issue, and
\nwhat, if anything, have presidents done in recent years regarding this issue?
\n3. Make an assessment regarding the relative success of people lobbying the government
\nthrough the form of participation you chose. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
CONCLUSION SECTION (1-2 paragraphs): In this section, you need to wrap your paper up and bring
\neverything back together. Don\u2019t just regurgitate what you\u2019ve already written. Is this form of
\nparticipation worth it? Do you engage in this activity? Would you? Would you encourage others to
\ndo so? Why or why not?  <\/div>\n
