When addressing the prompt, focus on showing off your analytical and evaluative abilities. Use your textbook as a source, and provide evidence that supports your position. Paraphrase and cite your source when appropriate (MLA style is preferred). Do not quote from source material unless necessary (e.g., the quote is direct evidence supporting your argument).
Your original post should be in a short-essay format consisting of three paragraphs each: (1) an introduction that states your argument/thesis on the question or topic, (2) a body paragraph that supports your thesis statement (reasoning and evidence go here), and (3) a concluding paragraph that sums up your entry by explaining how your evidence and reasoning leads one to accept your argument.
the prompt – Presently, there is a serious movement calling for a convention of states to propose amendments to the Constitution. The intended amendments would make the federal government less powerful and states more so.
Do you think amending the Constitution to fundamentally reshape state and federal relations is a good idea? Explain your answer.
