For this short paper you must accurately cite the exact page number or paragraph

For this short paper you must accurately cite the exact page number or paragraph number that each major point from the articles answering the question comes from in parentheses at the end of each sentence where you discuss that relevant point — for instance, like this: (Loomis, page 9) or (Beckwith, paragraph 5). For Loomis and Shafer this will be page numbers, for Beckwith and Heuvel it will be paragraph numbers. The assignment is: Using the articles I give you about the electoral college and making sure you refer to the claims made in the readings by all four authors – (1) Loomis, (2) Shafer (note Loomis and Shafer are part of the same document file but two separate readings/authors with one in favor of the electoral college and the other opposed to it — you need to scroll further into the document to find Shafer’s article), (3) Beckwith, and (4) Heuvel – discuss some of the arguments for AND against the president being elected by the electoral college. Thinking about all of the readings, do you think we should keep, abolish, or change (and if so in what way) the electoral college and why?
1. Use the specific readings they are asking you about and make sure you answer all of the questions included in the prompt.
AND
2. Throughout the paper when you refer to an idea/argument/point of those required articles or portions of our textbook, you MUST provide the author or article’s name (just something that clearly identifies the reading – this does not have to be a full formal citation with the author’s full name, publisher, etc.) and then either the page number the information can be found on (for our textbook or a PDF article with page numbers) OR the paragraph number of the article that the information appears in (the first paragraph is 1, the second 2, and so on). You do not need to include a bibliography/works cited list at the end of the paper, because you are only using the assigned readings to write the papers, not outside sources.
