History

This paper asks you to compare two very long running campaigns of terrorist violence: Palestinian violence against Israel and insurgent terrorism in Kashmir. In both cases the violence has persisted so long that different groups have entered the picture, each claiming to represent their communities and as a result the overall political cause seems to have been lost. The violence now seems to be self-perpetuating, or at least to serve different ends—the ends of different groups within each political community rather than of the communities as whole. With this in mind, answer the following in a well-argued essay: Are the various Palestinian groups fighting Israel for the purpose of Palestinian statehood and the jihadi groups fighting in Kashmir truly fighting for the political communities they claim to represent, or have they become sidetracked by organizational motivations? If so, what kind of agenda are these groups serving now? To what extent have they lost sight of their political goals and instead become bogged down in inter-group rivalries or criminal activities? Have other actors such as state governments hijacked or redirected the terrorists’ violence? What do these outside actors hope to achieve, and how do these goals compare with those of the people of Kashmir and Palestine? For the Palestinian dimension, see background in Law and the PowerPoint/Lecture, then draw details on various groups/factions from Harold Cubert’s chapter “The PFLP’s Role and Position within the PLO,” Ch. 5 of Byman, Robin Wright’s “The Palestinians,” and Ch. 2 of Stern. For Kashmir, see Stern (Chs. 5 and 8) and Byman (Ch. 6). If the violence of these groups has become disconnected from its political goals, how does one deal with it? What can be done to solve the problem of terrorist violence in these two areas?

Instructions Purpose How powerful is a state? How powerful should it be? These questions have been debated since the Revolution. Under the Articles of Confederation, we saw states with significantly higher power than the national government; there was an attempt at more balance in the Constitution. Yet the debate over the power of each level of government continued to be debated, and this debate formed some of the reasoning behind having a Bill of Rights, led to the formation of our two political parties, and formed the basis of many of our conflicts in U.S. history. In the Federalist Era, we saw James Madison and Thomas Jefferson write the “Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions,” in reaction to the Alien and Sedition Acts; their work outlined their beliefs of where national law overreached and states should be able to counter that law. And in the Age of Jackson, we see the issue arise again in relation to the tariffs.  Task For this essay, you will need to read “The Kentucky Resolutions” and “South Carolina Exposition and Protest”. In your essay, you should: 1.      Write an introduction outlining the basic argument of state powers versus national powers. You may want to turn to the Constitution itself to find material.  2.      Write a brief summary of why each document was written. What is the historical context of the documents? You will probably want a paragraph for each document. 3.      Write a paragraph of what the two documents have in common.  4.      Write a paragraph of what the difference in the two documents is. How does the “South Carolina Exposition and Protest” differ in its argument from the “Kentucky Resolution”? 5.      Write a conclusion that answers whether or not a state should have the ability to nullify a national law, and if so, under what circumstances? If not, why not? This last paragraph will be your opinion, but remember do not use “I” in any form. State your opinion as if it were fact.  Expectations and Criteria for Success You should base your discussion with the information in the course content, though outside research is allowed if needed. DO NOT use Wikipedia as a source. As always, be sure to keep track of where you find your information so that you can provide citations in your final essay. Citations must be formatted according to the MLA guidelines, including both in-text and a final source page.  Guidelines for MLA can be found using the Purdue Owl or you can reference the Citation Help.pdf from the Start Here Module of the course.  Essays should be typed in 12-point font with a simple, clean font such as Times New Roman or Arial. Use 1″ inch margins on all sides and double-space the text. Your essay should be 2 pages.   Successful essays should be carefully organized, with strong thesis statements and specific evidentiary support.  Your introduction should include a clear statement of what you will argue in the essay (thesis statements are never questions).  The body of the essay will include at least three paragraphs (though you can write more – with this assignment, you will want four body paragraphs) that analyze and evaluate the idea of nullification. Conclude by discussing the key conclusion you reached and why (remember not to use the first person in formal academic essays).  Be sure to revise and edit carefully.

The reading — a chapter from a book written by historian Stephanie Coontz — highlights the restrictions placed on women following World War II that drove many to launch a Women’s Movement. For this reflection, discuss at least three of these restrictions (keeping in mind that not all states were alike), explaining the actual restrictions and how (whenever applicable) they limited a woman’s ability to find work, remain unmarried (or get divorced), or live a life of her choosing. Conclude your reflection by analyzing whether these three restrictions remain in some form in the United States. (reading is a pdf attached to upload files)

Choose one revolutionary concept to examine (see list of suggested topics below).  Where did this idea originate, and how was it manifest (if at all) in the American and French Revolutions?  Answer this question with analysis of primary sources related to the American and French Revolutions and relevant sources from the Enlightenment and English Constitutionalism.  The essay should be 500-750 words. Incomplete list of revolutionary concepts: -The social contract (government is formed by individuals to protect fundamental rights) -Freedom of conscience and expression -Popular sovereignty (the “people” rather than ruler possesses ultimate governing power) -Meritocracy (status and power based on ability rather than blood or lineage) //////////////////////////// Letter grades will be assigned as follows: A : Essay is well written and well organized with only minor spelling and grammar errors.  It demonstrates a strong command of the relevant course material, responds directly to the prompt, has a clear and compelling thesis, solid evidence in the form of well-chosen and appropriately cited quotations and specific references to the requested source(s), robust analysis, logical reasoning, and meets the target length.  B : Essay demonstrates a solid command of the relevant course material and responds to the prompt yet has at least one significant flaw in the quality of writing, organization, historical accuracy, logical reasoning, use of evidence, citations, or length. C : Essay engages the course material yet falls short of responding to the prompt in a satisfactory way–for example, it might summarize the content of the primary source(s) and/or textbook without providing much analysis or original argument.  It may have numerous major flaws while still demonstrating a minimal grasp of the relevant course material. /////////////////////////// Preferably answer essay prompt on Social Contract or Popular Sovereignty. Not looking for an outstanding essay or perfect. Somewhere around a B. I uploaded a file regarding my professor’s grading policy. Just something that answers the prompt. Will include sources regarding these topics.  No need for a works cited no bibliography. Just in text citations. For the citations, I included in each file what the correct citation should be.
