Please submit an essay that answers ONE of the following prompts.
Prompt 1
Compare John Locke’s Two Treatises of Government and Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s The Social Contract. Which author do you agree with the most, and why? Support your argument with examples from the excerpts.
Tip: Although you are selecting one of the two works as your preference, do not analyze one author to the exclusion of the other. A good essay will explain why one of the two is better, and why the other is worse.
Tip: All academic writing is already presumed to express your opinion, so you don’t need to tell the reader that what you’re saying is your opinion. It also hurts your persuasiveness by drawing attention to the fact that it is just “your opinion.” Avoid redundant first-person statements like, “I believe…” or, “I think that…” Instead, make assertive statements from a neutral perspective like, “X presents a more compelling vision for the preservation of freedom than Y.”

Prompt 2
Even after the outbreak of fighting at the Battles of Lexington and Concord in April 1775, American colonists still debated the question of independence from Britain. According to James Chalmers’ Plain Truth, why should the colonies remain loyal to Britain? Consider the degree to which Chalmers sympathizes (or not) to the grievances of his fellow colonists. You may also wish to compare Chalmers’ arguments to that of Thomas Paine’s Common Sense.
