Research Topic for Approval

(Preapproved List) page. Make sure you’ve selected a specific research topic and issue (as opposed to merely being interested in a broad category). Here, summarize your chosen topic by answering the following four questions (numbered as such):

1. Provide the specified topic (not merely the broad category). (E.g., universal basic income, Electoral College, etc.)

2. Name the specific conflict or issue within that topic. This must be done in 1-2 complete sentences.

3. Identify the sides of the conflict as you currently understand them. Use complete sentences. (E.g., Some individuals believe that the Electoral College should be abolished because it can be different from the popular vote and allows so-called “swing states” too much decision making power; others believe that we should keep it because it is a buffer against uninformed voters and ensures that candidates actively campaign in all stet’s, not just those with large numbers of electors.)
