Grades will be based on the content of your answers and must be more than 800 words in length (Each Part should be at least 400 words, for a total of more than 800 words for the whole exam). Direct quotes do not count toward the required word count. Submit your papers via the link below the instructions by the due date listed on the course calendar.
Part 1:
For Part 1 of the Final Exam, read George Washington’s Farewell Address (document 1 or 2, linked below). Using the address and the textbook (chapter 8), write an essay answering the prompts listed below.
Part 1 Documents:
There are two versions of George Washington’s Farewell Address linked below. Document 1 is a shorter version that I edited and saved in a Microsoft Word file. Document 2 is the full version of his address in a .pdf file from the National Constitution Center (constitutioncenter.org). Either version is fine for this assignment.
