What is Constitution?

The Constitution stands as one of the most examined documents in American political and legal history, making it a central subject in history, political science, law, and civics courses. Students write about it because it raises enduring questions about the balance of power, the protection of individual rights, and the relationship between citizens and their government. Its origins in the turbulent period following the Articles of Confederation, the debates surrounding its ratification, and its ongoing interpretation through amendments and Supreme Court decisions give it layers of complexity that reward sustained academic attention.

The papers collected here approach the Constitution from several distinct angles. Some take a historical perspective, examining the political pressures of the mid-1780s that drove delegates toward a new framework, or asking whether the document represented a counter-revolution or a national salvation. Others focus on legal and structural analysis, tracing how amendments shape the broader legal system or how federal power is distributed through federalism. Case-focused essays use specific Supreme Court decisions and cases such as Ruiz v. Estelle to ground constitutional principles in concrete legal outcomes. A smaller number of papers place the Constitution in comparative or thematic contexts alongside topics like secular humanism or revolutionary America.

A strong essay on the Constitution requires a focused thesis that moves beyond description toward an interpretive claim about power, rights, or legitimacy. Evidence drawn from the text of amendments, congressional authority, and documented legal precedent carries the most weight in historical and legal arguments. The most common pitfall is treating the Constitution as a static document rather than one continuously reshaped by political conflict, court interpretation, and the evolving relationship between citizens and federal government.

The United States in 1815: rural society, slavery expansion, and westward growth

In 1815, the United States still had most of the characteristics of an underdeveloped of Third World society, although most of the world was in the same condition at that time. Its population was about 8.5 million, about triple that of 1776, but over 95% was still rural and agrarian. As late as 1860, over 80% were overall, but by then industrialization and urbanization were well underway in the North and that sections population was 40% urban. Mexico City was still the largest urban area in North America at the start of this period, while big cities were few and far between in the United States. With the exception of river ports like St. Louis and Cincinnati, almost all of them were on the ocean, since water transportation was far cheaper than overland movements before the invention of railroads. Washington, DC was still roughly the geographic center of the country, on the dividing line between North and South.

Analyzing King Claudius through Machiavelli's political theory in Hamlet

This paper applies the principles of Machiavelli to the story of Shakespeare's Hamlet. Rather than viewing Claudius as overly ruthless, Machiavelli would likely see Claudius as not ruthless enough, given his tolerance of Hamlet's insubordination earlier in the play. In Machiavelli's eyes, the powerful and decisive Fortinbras would be the true hero of the play.
