Pick one of the items below.
- Pick any chapter in Schatzinger and do a 2023 update afterword. That is, what has happened since 2020 that would either illuminate the analysis or require revision of it?
- After reading the Drutman excerpts on Sakai, pick any major corporation. On what issues did it lobby the federal government in 2022? Why did these issues interest the corporation? Did the corporation make its case in public via hearings, ads, and other communications? If so, what was its message? If not, why not?
- Pick any proposition on the 2020 or 2022 ballot. Who were its top supporters and opponents? Why did they take those positions Which side won and why? You may pick a measure in any state. California information here:

- https://ballotpedia.org/California_2020_ballot_propositions
- Pick any topic related to the course readings, subject to my approval.
- Document your claims. Do not write from the top of your head.
- Essays should be typed (12-point), double-spaced, and no more than four pages long. I will not read past the fourth page. Please submit papers as Word documents, not pdfs or Google docs.
- Cite your sources with endnotes in Chicago/Turabian style. Endnote pages do not count against the page limit. No bibliography is necessary.
- Watch your spelling, grammar, diction, and punctuation. Errors will count against you.
- Turn in essays to the class Sakai dropbox by 11:59 PM, Friday, March 10. I reserve the right to dock papers a gradepoint for one day’s lateness, a full letter grade after that.
