Unit II - Practice Argument Essay FRQ - Presidential Power As part of the blueprint for checks and balances, the United States Constitution outlines a procedure for Congress to impeach and remove public officials, including the president of the United States. Develop an argument on whether the congressional procedure outlined in the Constitution for impeachment and removal is an effective check on the president, too weak a check on the president, or too strong a check on the president. Use at least one piece of evidence from one of the following foundational documents: ● Brutus 1 ● Federalist No. 51 ● Federalist No. 70 In your response, you should do the following: ✔ Respond to the prompt with a defensible claim or thesis that establishes a line of reasoning. ✔ Support your claim with two pieces of specific and relevant evidence. ○ The one piece of evidence must come from one of the foundational documents listed above. ○ A second piece of evidence can come from any other foundational document not used as your first piece of evidence, or it may be from your knowledge of course concepts. ✔ Use reasoning to explain why your evidence supports your claim or thesis. ✔ Respond to an opposing or alternative perspective using refutation, concession, or rebuttal. Thesis/Claim Must have a defensible claim (take a side). Must have a line of reasoning (Do not list the documents, but rather give a sneak peek at the evidence you are going to use in your argument - ideally two directions that your argument is going to take and be reinforced by the evidence provided below). Evidence #1: Describe the piece of evidence. What is the main idea? What is this piece of evidence about?
How is this piece of evidence relevant to the thesis? Reasoning: Explain HOW or WHY the evidence that you just discussed supports the line of reasoning in your claim/thesis. This needs to be new information, not a restatement of what you already wrote. Evidence #2: Do the same as above, but with a different document or something you learned in class. Reasoning: Explain HOW or WHY the evidence that you just discussed supports the line of reasoning in your claim/thesis. This needs to be new information, not a restatement of what you already wrote. Respond to an Alternative Perspective: Describe this other point of view and explain with one or two reasons why someone might support that other point of view. Respond to that view using refutation or rebuttal. Don’t need to do this today Conclusion Restate your thesis and your line of reasoning . Don’t need to do this today
