For the past couple of weeks,  I’ve asked you to do several things to help you learn about the foundations of American political thought.  I’ve provided several videos about the principles of democracy, and a PowerPoint/video collection related to Thomas Hobbes, John Locke and Social Contract Theory.  What I’d like you to do is think about what principles discussed in these resources YOU think are most important to our system of government, and why.  So for this assignment, which is worth up to 50 points, please choose 3 concepts from the PowerPoint and/or videos that struck you as being of particular importance, and tell me why these 3 are especially important.  For each concept, write a paragraph or 2 in which you:

1.  Tell me what the concept is (for example The Rule of Law, or the idea that everyone is politically equal, or the idea of democratic norms such as toleration and institutional forbearance).

2.  Tell me where this concept is discussed (i.e. which video, where in the PowerPoint)

2.  Explain the concept itself

3.  Explain why you find this an especially important part of the U.S. political system. 

There are lots of concepts discussed in the material I asked you to review for this assignment! Some of them would not be appropriate to choose for this assignment. For example, we don’t live in a state of nature, so that’s probably not as good a choice as social contract theory.  And we don’t live in a monarchy, so that probably isn’t a great choice either.  Make sure the concepts you choose are found in the course materials you’ve been studying for the past couple of weeks.
