Overview
Hello for the following assignment, l need you to answer the question below
" In what ways does Machiavelli's 'The Prince' subvert the conventions of Renaissance political thought?"
Your answer must be at least 6 yet no more than 7 double-spaced pages, in font 12, using Chicago Style for footnotes and bibliography (guide is attached). Use the attachments I provided(the pages from More's Utopia) and i will also send you additional sources. Don't use evidence from outside sources only the sources i provided, if you need more let me know. Make sure all quotes are cited correctly with page number and remember to cite the sources in the bibliography afterwards. No Al it will be run through scanners and if Ai is identified I will report you.
Each paragraph should be organized around an idea or theme or argument. It should not simply be a chronological narrative of events.
Every claim you make in your essay should be supported by proof derived principally from primary source material. The primary material is the textual basis of your historical evidence, and it must be cited accordingly.
In answering the question you have chosen, you will also always be expected to demonstrate knowledge of the secondary historiography you have been set. A capacity to describe the interpretations of the relevant modern historians, and identify the strengths and weakness of their positions and arguments, must be on display. The best answers to historical questions thread a path through existing interpretations in the light of the primary sources.
Your essays must be informed by the relevant material which is presented to you only in class. Failure to demonstrate learning from class will cost you grade points.
Clarity of expression is crucial. Complex arguments are often best expressed in lucid, clear statements. If you don't understand what you are saying on the page, your reader almost certainly won't; so try to reformulate your thoughts in more straightforward language, if necessary. You will be judged upon your ability not only to communicate your ideas and arguments accurately and grammatically but also fluently. Before turning in your work, read your argument to yourself to see if it flows.
Never, ever turn in work that you have not properly proof-read. You must try to eliminate all errors of grammar, spelling, and fact before submitting work.
