Instructions: Answer ONE of the three essay questions below. Be sure to take a deep breath and sketch an outline before you start to write in formal style. Remember also to provide an introduction with thesis statement, supporting points illustrated by examples from the course materials, source citations and a conclusion.
You may draw on answers given in the class discussions (your or someone else’s—but be sure to give credit where credit is due), but this essay should be original work and in your own words.
These questions are meant to be thought-provoking. Your grade will be determined, not by whether or not I think you give a correct answer, but on your ability to organize and deliver a cogent argument and effectively to use history to support what you have to say. Be creative, but back up your argument with evidence from history. Use citations!
Consider the impact of the First World War on the place of women in Western society. What role did the war play in deciding such issues as women’s suffrage, and economic and social equality. Or did it play a role? Was the effect of the war a lasting one? Did it have a decisive effect, or did it merely speed up developments that already were underway?
Each essay must be 6-7 pages in length, double-spaced, numbered, include 1-inch margins, use 12 point Arial, Calibri, or Times New Roman, and include a cover page that identifies who you are, the title of the course, the name of your instructor, and state either Midterm Exam or Final Exam.
Each exam essay must include footnotes or endnotes and a Works Cited or Bibliography page. The citation style must be Chicago/Turabian. Your instructor will provide instructions on how to cite a source using Chicago/Turabian style. The selected sources must be appropriate to the exam topic, the citations must support the assertions made in the exam, and footnotes or endnotes must be used in each instance where detailed explanations would distract from the argument.
Each essay will include three main parts—the Thesis/Introduction, Argument, and Conclusion.
The Introduction section should clearly state the thesis within the first 1-2 paragraphs. The thesis must be relevant and appropriate to the argument and demonstrate an accurate and complete understanding of the question(s). It should do more than restate the question(s) and offer a brief response and it should be free of grammar & spelling errors.
The Argument section should incorporate pertinent details from assigned coursework and outside readings when permitted. Please make sure to ask your instructor for approval. Do not assume that you can use outside readings. The section must provide relevant historical evidence to support the thesis and the key claims made in the argument as needed. It should maintain focus and avoid getting sidetracked. It should present your answer(s) to the question(s) asked clearly and concisely in an organized manner and it should be free of grammar & spelling errors.
The Conclusion section should be in the last part of your essay exam within the last 1-2 paragraphs. It should briefly restate the thesis and summarize the main points of the argument. It should also demonstrate insight and understanding regarding the question(s) asked and it should be free of grammar & spelling errors.

Assignment Content
Your goal is to create a journal response in relation to your understanding about the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights.
Your submission should be at least 500 words in length. APA formatting is not required for this assignment, but any sources other than the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights (links provided below) will need to be cited and referenced per APA guidelines.
Carefully read the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
Ratified in 1788, the U.S. Constitution is made up of a Preamble and seven articles that describe the way the United States’ government is structured and how it operates. Ratified in 1791, the first 10 amendments to the Constitution make up the Bill of Rights, which guarantee essential rights and civil liberties not specified in the U.S. Constitution.
After reading the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights, please respond to each of the following questions:
Which one of the 10 amendments that constitutes the Bill of Rights do you believe is the most important? Why?
Why do you believe the founding fathers and voting citizenry chose to incorporate this amendment in 1791?
Do you believe the importance of this Constitutional amendment has changed in the more than 225 years since its ratification? How or how not? Tie your answer to the evolution of American philosophies or ideals.

The U.S. participated in World War I in 1917–18. It granted suffrage to women in 1920 and citizenship to American Indians in 1924. The stock market crash of 1929 led to the Great Depression, which New Deal legislation combated by increasing the federal government’s role in the economy. The U.S. entered World War II after the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor (Dec. 7, 1941). The explosion by the U.S. of an atomic bomb on Hiroshima (Aug. 6, 1945) and another on Nagasaki (Aug. 9, 1945), Japan, brought about Japan’s surrender. Thereafter the U.S. was the military and economic leader of the Western world. In the first decade after the war, it aided the reconstruction of Europe and Japan and became embroiled in a rivalry with the Soviet Union known as the Cold War. It participated in the Korean War from 1950 to 1953. In 1952 it granted autonomous commonwealth status to Puerto Rico. Racial segregation in schools was declared unconstitutional in 1954. Alaska and Hawaii were made states in 1959. In 1964 the U.S. Congress passed the Civil Rights Act and authorized U.S. entry into the Vietnam War. The mid- to late 1960s were marked by widespread civil disorder, including race riots and antiwar demonstrations. The U.S. accomplished the first manned lunar landing in 1969. All U.S. troops were withdrawn from Vietnam in 1973. With the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the U.S. assumed the status of sole world superpower. The U.S. led a coalition of forces against Iraq in the Persian Gulf War (1990–91). Administration of the Panama Canal was turned over to Panama in 1999. After the September 11 attacks on the U.S. in 2001 destroyed the World Trade Center in New York City and part of the Pentagon near Washington, D.C., the U.S. attacked the Taliban government in Afghanistan for harbouring and refusing to extradite the mastermind of the terrorism, Osama bin Laden. In 2003 the U.S. attacked Iraq, with British support, and overthrew the government of Ṣaddām Ḥussein (see Iraq War); the U.S. then found itself engaged in protracted wars in both Iraq and Afghanistan. In 2008 the U.S. economy was rocked by a financial crisis brought about largely by the collapse of the housing market. As the crisis rippled worldwide, recession and a slow recovery followed in the U.S.
