The Federalist Papers – Social/Personal Responsibility Research Paper This assignment requires the student to read selected letters from The Federalist Papers . Students will analyze and interpret these primary sources ( Federalist Papers) and secondary sources to formulate a short paper based on the social and personal responsibilities of various figures, why they are writing these papers, and how we in modern America deal with those issues today. The assignment is worth 50 points . A copy of The Federalist Papers is easy to find either for free online or for a few dollars ($7-10) in book form. There are plain English versions of them available if you have a hard time understanding 1790s English. Search Plain English Federalist Papers and that should bring up numerous options. Social and Personal Responsibility Paper: Students will choose one of The Federalist Papers to analyze and write a 1-2 page paper (Formatting requirements: single-spaced, Times New Roman, 12 point font, 1 margins, no headings except name and paper title); Papers not meeting the stated formatting requirements will be docked 5 points ). The definition of 1-2 page is 1 full page (not half a page or 3?4 of a page), with no words on a third page. This is meant to help students learn to write in a precise and concise manner. Citations must be done in Chicago (Turabian) format. Papers done in MLA format will be docked points. An example is at the bottom of this document. Social responsibility is defined as a demonstration of civic responsibility and its engagement in various larger communities. Personal responsibility is defined as an evaluation of choices and actions of others or ones own actions, and relate the consequences (good and/or bad) to decision- making. Students must discuss these issues using critical thinking and effectively communicate their views on these topics in their papers. The paper must discuss the social and personal responsibility of both the writers of the documents and modern interpreters of the documents (politicians, judges, media, American public). The easiest way to do this is to analyze the primary document (the Federalist Paper of your choice) in the first half of the paper and use primary and secondary sources to address how modern American deal with or dealt with the same issues in their time. (For example, Federalist 33 discusses taxation. Analyze how and why they are discussing that issue, using the document and lecture material. Then, in the second half of the paper, use secondary sources to analyze and explain how modern Americans deal with taxation.) The secondary sources need to be books, articles, or comprehensive web sites. Web pages like Bio.com, History.com, and others of that sort will not give students the requisite information needed and are unacceptable. It should go without saying that Wikipedia is also not an acceptable source. There will be points off for using unacceptable sources. The deadline for submission of the paper portion is listed on the link to turn in this assignment. No late papers will be accepted, NO EXCEPTIONS. The students will turn 1 electronic copy to the class dropbox online, otherwise the student will be assigned a ZERO for the paper assignment. Failure to turn in this assignment will adversely affect your final course grade. You must turn in your paper in a format Blackboard can read. Blackboard tells you in the upload link which formats it can read. It CANNOT read Google Docs or Apple Pages. If you turn in your paper in either of those formats, it will not be read, and you will get a zero. 1 Students may choose any of The Federalist Papers to write about for their paper. Dr. Smith recommends the following to help you, but you may choose others outside this list: 2, 4, 10, 14, 15, 17, 21, 25, 30, 38, 39, 42, 44, 46, 51, 57, 62, 63, 68, 69, 74, 78, 81, and 84. Only one student per class can write on a particular Federalist Paper and preference will be on a first come, fi…
