Retake essay at lunch on Thursday (if you wish to improve your grade).  I will average the score on this prompt with your current essay grade.   
 
Develop an argument that explains whether increased power vested to the federal government or increased power vested to the States best achieves the founders’ intent for American democracy in terms of ensuring a stable government run by the people. In your essay, you must:
 
• Articulate a defensible claim or thesis that responds to the prompt and establishes a line of reasoning
 
• Support your claim with at least TWO pieces of accurate and relevant information:
 
 At least ONE piece of evidence must be from one of the following foundational documents:
 
• Brutus 1
• Articles of Confederation
• Federalist No. 10
• U.S. Constitution
 
Use a second piece of evidence from another foundation document from the list or your study of the electoral process
 
• Use reasoning to explain why your evidence supports your claim/thesis
 
• Respond to an opposing or alternative perspective using refutation, concession, or rebuttal
