Order Info Сustomer's subject: Social & Political Sciences Topic: Any topic (Writer's choice) Type of work: Essay Level: College Number of pages: 3 pages = 825 words Formatting style: MLA Language Style: English (U.S.) Sources: I've attached the assignment and even put a starting sentence and works cited page in the document for you (using the example below). Remember, you need to answer the following: The event should be related to state politics or other US state-level political activity. This can be regarding a state-level election, individual state issue, or state differences on certain policies. Each student will submit a write-up of the current event that they have chosen, which will include: the event, what happened, when it happened, why this event was important, who were the groups involved, how the event relates to class, and why you found it interesting. This could be about an event in any of the 50 states in the US, so it is very broad. For instance, in New York right now the yearly budget just passed, so you could start with using this article: https://spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/central-ny/politics/2024/04/22/lawmakers-react-to-state-budget- and then look up other articles about the 2024 New York State budget to help answer the prompt. To use in-text citations for this source you can use (Author, Year) so (Arpey, 2024). Don't forget, that you have to use on peer-reviewed academic source (usually a textbook chapter, dissertation, or scholarly journal article) to receive full credit - I would advise using the attached article (Lu & Chen, 2016) or a similar one about the history of the New York State budget to tie it in.
