Articulate a defensible claim or thesis that responds to the prompt and establishes a line of reasoning. ​

Support your claim or thesis with at least TWO pieces of accurate and relevant evidence. One piece of evidence must come from one of the foundational documents listed above. A second piece of evidence can come from any other foundational document not used as your first piece of evidence, or it may be from your knowledge of course concepts.

Use reasoning to explain why your evidence supports your claim or thesis.

Respond to an opposing or alternative perspective using refutation, concession, or rebuttal.
