Monarchy and its contemporary relavence
DescriptionWrite 5 Double-spaced pages, 12 pt. type on the following topic:
We have now reviewed the theories of monarchy of seven writers from seven ancient cultures. You are a top aide to a politician who is campaigning for President or the
Senate (you can choose who: name him or her). The politician is too busy to read the texts for our course and has asked you to write a memo summarizing the four that
you think are most important (explain why) and explaining what you think he or she should take away from them as political advice, both positive and negative. Be sure
to tell your politician what your personal takeaway from the readings for this course was.
