1) Why do we need the state and what role should it play in the lives of its citizens?
2) Are all constitutions equally capable of resolving our needs?
3) According to each author, what is our likely political fate? In other words, what can we
realistically expect from the state and why?
Hint #1: In your answer, refer primarily to the kind of state that each author deems the best, and
use this model as the basis for your reply to why each author argues that we need the state.
Hint #2: Successful essays often divide evenly between each author, discussing one in turn and then
the other. This has proven to be a productive formula in the past. (Each author counts equally to the
success of your paper.)
Hint #3: Keep in mind that the primary question involves why we need the state and the role it plays
in the lives of its citizens. Devote the most space to developing your answer to this question.
Questions #2 & #3 are supplemental and should not take up as much space in your essay
