Newspaper articles that talk about philosophy
You can start with:
"Dear Representative Name Here:
As a student, I am interested in how you are involved within the government. I wish to inquire about the committees that you currently served in, whether it is state or local. It will be very useful for me to study someone with a local perspective.
I also wish to find out about what types of bills you have submitted. These bills may pertinent towards my own studies, especially if they involve any of the local issues.
I would furthermore request that you enclose in your reply a copy of a speech that you have made in Congress. It is good to learn from your stances directly.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Your Name"
There's not enough rhetoric but this is a start.
A APush definition for you topic could be -this-
The Mayflower Compact was signed by the Pilgrims aboard the Mayflower in 1620. The document established a government for the new Plymouth Colony. When the Pilgrims landed far north of their intended destination in Virginia Colony, they realized that they would be outside the jurisdiction of any established government. To maintain order, the settlers signed the Mayflower Compact as a means to pledge allegiance to King James, legitimize their settlement outside their chartered land, and to establish a civil government with the authority to enact laws.
Have a wonderful day
Explanation:
Neftalí is a dreamer. He loves words, birds, forests, and the sky. But his father expects him to be practical, concentrate on his studies, and prepare for a career in business. Slowly Neftalí learns to believe in himself, defy his father, and trust his own vision…a vision that makes him grow up to become one of the foremost poets of the twentieth century. This imaginative exploration of the boyhood of Pablo Neruda takes readers on a rare journey of the heart and imagination, and brings hope and confidence to every child who has struggled against the odds and dreamed of a larger world.
