Introduction In an effort to help you prepare early for the end of term research paper project, this assignment requires you to identify and explain your research topics early in the semester. You should turn in a 1-2 page (double-spaced) proposal of a research term paper. This proposal should not only identify a topic but explain how it relates to legislative language and its impacts on legislative, executive, and/or judicial behavior. The identification of a topic (half of the assignment) will be graded merely for completion. The discussion of the importance of legislative language and its impacts on the other branches will be evaluated on all three criteria discussed below. Directions Identify a broad policy area or a subject related to the separation of powers that is of particular interest to you and write a 2-page proposal that proposes a research paper and contains the following three elements: the main research question (and related sub-questions); a justification of the theoretical and substantive importance of the thesis as it relates to legislative language and/or the separation of powers; and a preliminary description of how you will go about conducting the research.
