PROMPT: What is‘police power’ and how was it deployedin cities during the formative
years of urban development (late 18 th century to the mid 20th century)? What
was the purpose of police power, what forms did it take, who benefitted, and in
what ways did it change over time? (Please give examples.)
Your response should be a carefully argued,
well-written essay, roughly between 6 -8 pages (roughly between 1500 – 2000 words) in
length. It must be double-spaced, proof-read.
Because these papers are short, you are not expected to be comprehensive. You just
need a few choice examples to back up your argument. But it is more important to
answer the question and make an argument than simply demonstrate that you’ve read a
lot or paid attention to the lectures. If you use direct quotes or statistics, for example,
please cite your source. Virtually any style of citation is permitted: MLA, Social Science
citation, Chicago Manual of Style, or simply place the text and page number or lecture in
parentheses. Please, no outside sources whatsoever. NO AI WHATSOEVER, I WILL AI CHECK THE PAPER AFTERWARDS.
PLEASE REFER TO ATTACHED READINGS AND SOURCES FOR THIS ESSAY. I WILL ALSO ATTACH POWERPOINTS FROM CLASS LECTURES TO REFER TO IN THE ESSAY; THESE DOCUMENTS WILL BE HAVE “PPT” IN THE TITLE, SO YOU KNOW IT IS A CLASS LECTURE POWERPOINT.
Requirements: 6-8 PAGES, DOUBLE-SPACED 12PT FONT
