Instruction
Using primary texts supplied BELOW, use the two documents that support government intervention in the economy and the two documents opposed to government intervention in the economy, and write a 750-word essay that demonstrates the arguments the proponents and opponents of government intervention used. You should identify the authors’ main point and examine how they defended their position.
NO SECONDARY sources, other than the provided texts, should be integrated into this paper's analysis.
Your paper should briefly introduce your paper's topic or question and provide a thesis statement. In a paper of this size, your introduction and thesis statement should appear on the first page, in the paper's first paragraph.
Your paper should show that you reasoned through the evidence in a fair-minded way. In other words, you should state (paraphrase) what your evidence says and not what you wish it said or think it should say. You need to state the evidence fairly, even if you think it is wrong or offensive.
Your paper should use evidence to answer the historical question. You need to explain how the evidence answers the question.
Your paper should develop and organize your thoughts clearly and logically. Outlining is probably necessary, but not a required, step in writing a well-organized paper.
Your paper should draw a conclusion that addresses the paper's chief topic or question and that states your answer to the question or your contribution to the topic.

Cite your sources consistently throughout your paper (good rule of thumb: at least one citation per paragraph, although introduction and conclusion may not require citation).
• Cite your source for any statement or quotation that is not common knowledge.
• Place quotation marks around phrases/sentences that represent the words of someone else.
• Use proper paraphrasing rather than poor paraphrasing to avoid plagiarism.
