What kinds of principIes should guide the creation of an ideaI society? Why do you find those
principIes convincing? Who might disagree with those principIes and why? Try to think of a
practicaI policy that might advance the set of principIes you outIined. What kind of poIiticaI contention wouId occur if you impIemented such a poIicy in the United States? What if it were
implemented in a country with different institutions? How might your proposed policy be
implemented globaIIy? How might the structure and institutions of the international system
undermine or assist your proposal?
-Include a clear introduction that roadmaps the paper and motivates your essay
-Effectively argue for a principle of justice, while also pointing out some of the arguments
against it (referencing at least 2-3 readings on The State).
-Advocate a policy that is clearly connected to your vision of justice and do a good job of
considering some of the political divisions and contestation the idea might involve in the United
States and in one other country (referencing at least 2-3 readings on Democracy).
-Seriously consider how you might implement a global version of your policy, and some of the
ways the global power structure and institutions might produce conflict (or cooperation) over
your proposal.
-Effectively summarizing your paper with a conclusion, and fleshing out the implications of your
argument.
