About This Topic

Like a compare and contrast essay, a contrast essay asks you to choose two or more items and ideas and write about them.  However, instead of highlighting similarities between the two things, a contrast essay will describe how they are different.  It is important to note that, in order to have an effective contrast essay, there must be some similarities or shared middle ground between the things being contrasted.  A contrast essay that focused on the differences between a roller skate and the planet Jupiter would contain a lot of contrast, but would be almost incoherent.  However, a contrast essay that focused on the differences in Earth and Jupiter would start from the point where they are similar (planets in the same solar system) and then highlight differences.

Articles of Confederation With the New Constitution
Introduction In this short essay, this author will compare and contrast the Articles of Confederation with the new Constitution of 1787. We will see what were the strengths and weaknesses of the Articles vis-à-vis the Constitution and give specific instances that demonstrate the weakness of the Articles, in particular its financial issues. Analysis Default and debt is an American tradition and it was initiated with gusto in the days following the Revolution when Dutch and French holders of American bonds found it impossible to get regular payments on the Continental notes that they held. Additionally, depression had struck the new nation in by the mid-1780s, raising questions arose about the nature of American democracy and the ability of the new government to function. Conservatives believed that the answer the nation's problems lay in a stronger national government. Most radicals believed it was up to the states to relieve the financial burden of the people. These sentiments fostered a movement for a new constitution. Political differences soon stimulated the creation of political parties ("The articles of," 2010). Differences between the Articles and the Constitution The Articles of Confederation had many flaws, many potentially fatal. With the drafting of a new Constitution in 1787, the founding fathers pointed many of these lessons and short comings and corrected them in the new federal Constitution. When the first Convention was called for initially in Annapolis in 1786, the founders only called for the altering and amendment of the Articles of Confederation. Few showed up in Annapolis in September 1786. Only New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Virginia sent representatives, which led the convention to only recommend another convention in 1787. This new convention that was recommended for 1787 in Philadelphia became the Convention to draft the new Constitution ("Compare and contrast;," 2011).

European Union economy issues and policies
Position: The UK should leave the European Union. The costs and risks accompanying membership in the EU is simply not worth the benefits for the UK. Contributions to the EU common fund are a significant drain on the UK and are disproportionately spent in areas which are irrelevant to the UK, such as agricultural subsidies. The benefits that the UK seeks from EU membership, regional security and free trade, are now either the norm or can be achieved through alternative means, such as through trade agreements. Neither is EU membership likely to yield greater benefits in the future, as there is little in the EU economic plan to indicate that it will help its members keep pace with emerging global competitors. With its own economic struggles to deal with, the UK can no longer afford to commit such resources and energies to such a fruitless relationship.
