I ask that you cite all of your information.  Be as comprehensive and detailed as possible. Try to provide comprehensive and detailed answers with specific relevant information and cite.   In addition  to the contextual information from our readings, use at least two primary sources from our textbook per question, those are the images, laws, and texts   from the historical time period included in our text per question. Use specifics from the readings and cite.
