For your second paper, please choose one state and examine EITHER the origin history of that state's constitution OR the history of one specific amendment proposed to that constitution. (The amendment does not need to have passed.) Your paper should be an academic narrative that recounts the original creation of the constitution or amendment in a style that is uniquely your own.
For example, as a historical narrative, your paper may discuss the individuals or groups involved in the original writing of the state's constitution or of the proposed amendment, the issues, arguments, scandals, complaints, etc. arose during the accompanying debates, and how they were resolved. As a piece of academic writing, it must demonstrate scholarly research at the upper division level and include references and in-text citations. At least 3 of the references used must be peer-reviewed scholarly journals.
