You've been asked to consider the following questions for your argumentative research paper assignment:
1. What was the history (background) leading up to this policy decision?
2. What role did public opinion and the media play in the policy decision, if at all?
3. What role did interest groups play in the policy decision, if at all?
4. What role did each branch of government, and political parties, play in the decision and why?
5. What have the results been of the policy decision (good or bad for the country)?
6. Were there any objections to this decision? Who made them and what was their argument?
Use this guide to explore information about your policy decision.
If you have any questions along the way, feel free to contact your class librarian, Kelly Durkin Ruth.
We'll work through this guided search activity in class today.
