Assignment #1: ​​​​​​​Due: Sept. 7th, printed
This assignment is a “think piece.” It is designed to get you used to evaluating the Congress and backing up your argument with evidence. For this assignment I ask you to respond to the following prompt:
Which member of our current Congress is the “best?” Which member of our current Congress is the “worst?” In the course of your answers, please provide 3 reasons for picking each member of Congress. Each one must be backed up with evidence (empirical, theoretical, academic research, etc.). On what criteria are you judging each member of Congress? Is your criteria fair? Please also give me YOUR definition (don’t just plop in a dictionary definition) of key terms used such as: “best,” “worst,” “fair,” “representation,” etc. I want to see your thought process in this paper.

The assignment must be at least 3 pages in length, Times New Roman 12 pt. font, double spaced. Please print and turn in at the beginning of class. Worth 25 points. Citation Page at the end MLA format.
