Answer 1

you seem to have the body of the question in hand,so continue as you are. remember to ask your tutor about any queries you may have

Answer 2

You have a good subject, but honestly, trying to explain the whole constitution in one paragraph would be very difficult and probably not very thorough. If the body of the report is up to you, I would make that part several paragraphs long. If it is supposed to be three paragraphs, then maybe make just one about background info as a way of explaining the setting the constitution was written in, then make the next two paragraphs about the details of the constitution and how that compares to its interpretation today. Probably one paragraph for each of those topics. This is a subject that a whole book could be written about, so you may want to spend less time discussing the founding father's backgrounds so you can do justice to the main topic.
Good Luck!

Hmmm from the looks of your outline, its does not appear you have enough to talk about or have not done enough thinking. You should really combine the first two paragraphs that you have stated into one paragraph. You really don't need to divulge too much into the framer's personal background, only their basic beliefs and the context of the situation in which they operated in. You should focus on the main parts of the constitution for which there are discrepancies today. Each point could be a paragraph, depending on how many you want, but traditionally its a 5 paragraph essay, so you would probably talk about 2 points, maybe 3 if you are willing to. In those 2-3 paragraphs, explain what the framer's intention is and how it is viewed differently today.

Answer 4

What in the heck is out studies? I have never heard this term. Anyhoo, I think that would be fine since it is only a community college. It has been done so many times over, but I would suggest that if you were in a University to pick a more interesting topic. You should have an alternative in case someone else already picks this or your Professor doesn't approve. For a subject like this it will be crucial to catch your readers attention within the first few lines and try to keep it and with a conclusive ending. I wish you luck. Don't get too bogged down with nit picky details. Don't want to bore him to tears.

Answer 5

I agree with katydid - if your premise is the difference between the way the Constitution is interpreted now and the way the founding fathers intended it, then you will need a comparison, preferably running throughout your paper.

The other thing I would mention is if you truly want to learn proper grammar and spelling, you should use it ALL the time, not just when you are doing schoolwork. Otherwise you will find your "normal" spelling and grammar creeping into your school work. That doesn't mean you have to be all stuffy and proper. Just run spellcheck and READ your questions/answers before you submit them. If you discover a mistake after you submit, EDIT it.

That is the best practice for doing well with written communication - in school and in life.

Answer 6

Please take the suggestions here seriously. Dreamweaver is right on target, suggesting that you use proper spelling and grammar ALL THE TIME, even on this website, so that you get into proper habits.
Concentrate on the BODY of your paper, first. When that is completed, you can begin to create a motivating introduction, possibly taking some thoughts from your content. The introduction should LEAD your reader into your topic, and also state something briefly along the lines of "This is what I'm going to tell you." AFTER your content is fully written, your conclusion should sum-up briefly and suggest "This is what I've TOLD you." If possible, leave your reader with something to think about.

Answer 7

I think your missing a chapter on comparison - which it seemed was your title. Not sure I see much about why you'd include info about the time period unless you are trying to prove a point (e.g. it was so different then etc).
YOu may also want to pick one of the main points about the consitution and stick with that as a theme throughout.
