Who gets to be a legitimate member of the community, how do we know this, and why?

Begin by looking at a specific visual or textual representation of people in the news, and consider the ways that representation offers, denies, or constructs conditions of legitimacy for them as individuals, communities, or states. Who gets to be a legitimate member of the community, how do we know this, and why? How and why is legitimacy, statehood, or inclusion denied? Use Said’s essay as a lens to develop a specific argument about the process of legitimization at work in the text that you have chosen. Explore one or more of his pairs of terms—presence and absence, mobility and insecurity, dislocation and location, statelessness and exile—as a way of considering what is lost and what is gained in our textual representations of one another.

Write an essay conceptually linking the first four elements in the Analytical Framework (natural rights, contract government, limited government and due process) with the Magna Carta and Locke’s theories about how governments originate and how they are dissolved.

Write an essay conceptually linking the first four elements in the Analytical Framework (natural rights, contract government, limited government and due process) with the Magna Carta and Locke’s theories about how governments originate and how they are dissolved. Provide evidence how these primary resources are reflected in Jefferson’s ideas in the Declaration of Independence and in the Constitution. All the sources needed to complete this assignment are available in the content area of our BB course site. We reviewed most of these links and the material at the first class meeting. You also can use the textbook chapters assigned to be read for Week One. The Webliography also has links to reference these topics. Refer to the Declaration and Constitution themselves. The words in these documents reflect the original intent of the Founders. The purpose of this assignment is to prepare for Week Two and our Skype meeting with the students in Argentina on Week Three. We need to have answers for their questions! Therefore, you need to become well versed in the Declaration Independence and the Constitution as well as our electoral system which we will cover next week in class. The essay must be at least one full page and no more than two full pages in length, single-space, 12- font. Grammar and composition count as much as content in your grade for the Week One assignment. Needless to say, it should be written in your own words. Be factual but be original in your own words.
