For your final exam, you will design a constitution for the hypothetical country of Kerblakistan. Based on the history of the country, you must design a constitution that address the following issues below. To assist you in developing the constitution, you are required to use at least one scholarly source for the assignment (you may use more if you wish). The source cannot be a reading from the syllabus. The source can be an article, book chapter or book and can be used in any section you wish. Please make sure it is a scholarly source and not a web site or encyclopedia. You can also reference any of the class readings in your analysis. For this section, I have provided readings on issues related to constitution-making to assist you in your thinking. As always, please be sure to cite and reference appropriately using the APSA Style Guide provide in Canvas.

The constitution involves incorporating several institutional issues discussed in the class. The paper should be written in essay format, 12 point font, approximately 1,000-1,500 word count (approximate numbers). Please use headings for each section and be sure to address all the questions within the section. Write the sections as it would appear in a constitution (think back to your country constitution assignment).

The assignment is due in Canvas. The assignment should be cut/paste into the text box not as an attachment. The assignment is worth 50 points. Here are some examples (1, 2, 3 and 4).
