For this assignment you are to chose 1 candidate who is running for office. I picked the president which is Biden. In your paper you must: provide some background on the candidate (e.g. their experience such as is this their first elected position? have they held office before? Qualifications?), and what their position is on 2 issues. This can be any 2 issues–ones they talk about a lot, ones important to them/their constituents/you, ones easy to find. 
formatting: 4-5 pages, double spaced, 12 point Times New Roman Font with 1 inch margins all around. Works Cited does NOT count towards the page requirement. Title pages are optional but do NOT count towards the page requirement. The 4-5 pages is strictly based on content.
You should aim to have 3 credible sources. I do not care what style of citations you use internally in your paper as long as you have them and are consistent. An easy style is Chicago in-text citations. After you make a reference to someone’s work you use last name year of publication and page number if it’s a direct quote (Gregory, 2022). You MUST have internal citations.
I will be graded on accuracy of information (based on the sources you use) and the quality of writing. For example: an “A” paper will:
address all parts of the prompt while being well organized and free of any major grammatical error. Paper has
consist citations throughout the paper and a works cited page/bibliography on the sources used.

Watch: The Constitution by David Barton
presentations were recorded live at convocation at Liberty University shortly before the election of 2008. Although David Barton refers to that election, the basic principles are valid at any time. Almost 10 years later, David Barton appeared with Governor Huckabee to discuss the moral failure in the United States for taking God out of the public square. This interview Constitutional Christian – is divided into four parts
America: Our Roots 
America and Divine Providence
Removing God from America
America: One Nation Under God
Using the information from the presentations, and current issues in America today, you will write
a 3- 5 page essay in current APA format. Your essay will have an introduction, conclusion, and level headings. You will include a title page, a reference page, one additional scholarly source not more than six months old, and at least three biblical references which include the full text of the scripture verse. Include the video presentations and the Bible in your reference list. These do not count as “additional sources”. Wikipedia, and similar sources, are not permitted. Do not simply write parts of Barton’s presentation verbatim. As a reminder, collaborating with other students on this assignment or borrowing answers from other students’ work is considered plagiarism and will be treated as such.
1. Explain the problems confronting the Constitutional convention in 1787, how they were addressed, and the role of God in the creation of the Constitution.
2. Barton gives several examples of scriptural references in the Constitution. Name any two principles, give the complete text of the applicable scripture, and explain how this constitutional principle does, or does not, work in practice today. Give specific examples.
3. Barton gives four examples of political issues, based on the Ten Commandments, which receive God’s highest priority. Select any one political issue and discuss how it is either in or out of compliance with God’s law. Discuss a specific court case related the political issue and the applicable commandment.
According to Barton’s presentation, the government should not be involved in meeting the needs of the poor. Cite a verse in the Bible that instructs us how to help the poor. Give an example of how you, your community, or your church serves the poor. Comparen this to a similar government program. Who provides a better outcome
to the recipient? Explain.
Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the SafeAssign plagiarism tool.

For this assignment, I have to create an outline with sources. I already did the assignment but it is incomplete and I need to add to it and add more sources. My assignment prompt is down below and the one I did is also below. If you could use what I have to improve my assignment that would be great.
