What conceptions of citizenship do you think different groups of voters had in the 2016 presidential election?  How do these conceptions affect people in the United States now?

OUTLINE:

1. Aspects of an effective outline
   1. Hierarchy of ideas (structure)
      1. Defines the function of each idea
         1. Topic sentence: defines a paragraph
         2. Major detail: supports the topic sentence and is usually a concept of some kind
         3. Minor detail: supports a major detail and is often a specific, concrete example, quote, statistic, or explanation
   2. Content: evaluating your ideas
      1. Order: there should be a logical way to connect the ideas
         1. Chronological: develops along a time line
         2. Spatial: develops in a physical space
            1. Example: from US regions—West, Mountains, Plains, Midwest, East Coast, South
         3. Importance
            1. From most to least important
            2. From least to most important
      2. Quantity: there should be enough evidence to clearly make your point
         1. Are there any concepts that need additional explanation or evidence to support?
         2. Are there any terms that the reader might not know that need definition?
      3. Quality: the points should be specific and easily understood
   3. Organization
      1. Unity
         1. Every point that is made pertains to the thesis
      2. Coherence
         1. All the points transition well
            1. Transitions are relationships, so there needs to be an obvious relationship between ideas
