Question: Assess democracy in the United Kingdom on ONE of these bases:

1. Representation

2. Participation

3. Freedom of speech

4. Rule of law

Consider both the formal and informal aspects of British politics, as well as all relevant institutions, actors, attitudinal information, issues, and processes.

You may structure your analysis as a case study of a single topic or use several topics as a basis for explaining your chosen aspect of democracy in the United Kingdom. You would be wise to stick to topics we've covered in this course.

This is not an opinion essay, but an analysis of particular elements of democracy in this specific political system, using the tools and concepts of political science. Be careful to define your terms for the purpose of your analysis and support your assertions with evidence.

Your paper must have a bibliography page and must use footnotes, not endnotes or parenthetical citations. The examples below largely conform to the rules of the Chicago Manual of Style.

In your paper, you should cite information that comes from a source other than common knowledge.

1. All quotes must be marked with quotation marks.

2. Footnote numbers go outside the punctuation.

3. For the first citation of a particular work, give full bibliographic information. For later citations of the same work, you can use an abbreviated form, such as "Author's Surname, Title, p. #."

4. For a citation that is identical to the one immediately before it, use the notation "ibid." for the footnote. Note that ibid. has a period, because it's an abbreviation, and that it is capitalized if it's the first word in the footnote.

5. Footnotes are numbered sequentially. If you're unclear about what this looks like, see any academic article using footnotes. Do not use the citation numbering form found on Wikipedia; it's unique to Wikipedia and not appropriate for academic work.

6. In a bibliography, authors are listed alphabetically by surname.
