Construct a defensible thesis. Use scholarly sources (websites are fine, so long as they are
reputable). Write your paper in Times New Roman, 12pt font. Make sure it is double-spaced and
has 1" margins all around. Include a title page and cite your sources using the Chicago/Turabian
style (this is the standard for writing in the field of political science). Writing the paper in google
docs is fine, even encouraged. However, your final submission should be a Word doc or a pdf.
