Founding Principals

Your first paragraph will be an introduction. You will include an opening line, some information, and most importantly, a thesis about how the founders used the works of great philosophers to found a nation

The second paragraph will be the body of your paper. It will include all of your sources (you must use cite each link provided), and your case on how the founders incorporated the works of people before them, and even during their time. You may make any argument you want, whether you think they pulled too much from these men, or perhaps you feel like the philosophers had other ideas you would've like to see in the founding doctrine, the floor is yours, and as a great researcher, it is your job to use it to the best of your ability!

The final paragraph will be a conclusion. Restate your thesis, and close your thoughts and arguments that you made in your body paragraph. Remember, this is the final paragraph, and the one that your audience will read last, make sure you leave a lasting impression!
