Essay Assignment 2
Question- Identify and explain advantages and pitfalls of incumbency. Why do congressional incumbents have such a high rate of reelection? What major difficulties do incumbents face for reelection? For each advantage and pitfall, clearly explain what it is AND provide an example (or examples) and/or concrete supporting information/evidence mentioned by Patterson. Do you believe the high rate of reelections for Congressional incumbents is a good for democracy? Why or why not?
Before writing the essay, everyone MUST read two short pieces of writing on plagiarism titled “What is Plagiarism” and “Preventing Plagiarism: Student Resources.” Both pieces of writing are located inside Course Information on Blackboard. As stated on the syllabus, students who submit plagiarized assignments will receive an automatic zero on the assignment. I will not listen to excuses, such as, “I did not know this is plagiarism” or “I did the same thing for my other course, and the professor never accused me of plagiarism.”
