I need to write a five paragraph essay about how political philosophers and European doctrines of law influenced the U.S. history. I missed a week long because of a family emergency, can you help with my essay? I have a outline but I don't know about any of the material. it also has to be written in APA style. I would really appreciate it!

OpenStudy (gracygirl):

OpenStudy (shylovesall):

both to be quite honest. I have no idea how to do this at all.

And, once you have your first draft of the essay done post it in English and Writing and someone should be able to critique it for you.

I'd personally search through a couple of these websites (linked below) and find what you need to write the essay. Make sure you cite your sources. Beyond this...I'm not sure how much more of a help I can be to you.

OpenStudy (shylovesall):

okay thank you but what websites?

OpenStudy (gracygirl):

I'd try several of them, Wiki sometimes has great info, but it could be edited and wrong. I'd personally use.... http://www.philosophybasics.com/branch_political.html http://www.iep.utm.edu/platopol/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_philosophy

OpenStudy (shylovesall):
