Paper 1

POLS 4201

Please respond to the following topic in 5 double-spaced pages. Your paper should construct an argument with a thesis, using evidence from both the original source (Diamond essay) and other relevant examples in our political world. This is a senior level class, so grammar, spelling, and punctuation should all be done properly. Do multiple drafts of your paper to eliminate mistakes. And, it should go without saying, you must do your own writing. If you do not properly quote and cite, you will fail the paper. Check to make sure the unoriginal material in the turnitin.com report is properly cited and quoted. But the paper should be mostly your own writing.

Martin Diamond claims that “the Founders ‘had no hope and they offered none for any ultimate organic change in the way men conduct themselves’” (97). What does Diamond mean by this and what are the consequences of this for the relationship between ethics and politics in American society? Think about the actions, events, and people in American politics today: were the Founders correct about the lack of hope for any organic change in human behavior? Support your conclusion with evidence from American political life.
