Then youll provide two examples of how the country DOES qualify as a democracy under the requirements weve discussed from readings by Dahl and Diamond. Give some background of each feature (for example, if its a free press, describe the press atmosphere and resources available to citizens. If its elections, describe the election methods the country uses and the offices that are at stake. Be clear about the features of democracy that you are identifying).
As well, you will provide two examples of how the country DOES NOT live up to two of the requirements (if you like, you may instead make these two examples of areas where the country has much room for improvement and specifically explain why).

You may quote sources when citing examples, but you will also be graded on how well you describe the features of government that either live up to or do not live up to the standards of democracy weve been studying.

The paper will be at least 1,000 words, and beyond that you may choose your ultimate length. Whats most important are the facts and background you use to make your case and the clarity in your writing expression. Marshal the facts and then clearly express each of your points.
