My thesis statement
Write a paper on “COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act succeeded in becoming a United States government law due to the rise of hate crimes and violence aimed at Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders during the pandemic. ”

The paper is an analysis of why a policy proposal failed or succeeded in becoming government law or policy.
The topic may be any single proposal made at the federal or Californian level of our political system.
The paper should explain the nature of the proposal, which groups supported or opposed it, describe the process through which it went in either its adoption, amendment or rejection and, most importantly, offer your analysis as to the causes of the final outcome.
The paper must also explain whether you believe the process discussed better fits the pluralist or elite theory model of American politics.
While a general topic might be an issue such as desegregation, free speech or affirmative action, you should try to pick a more specific issue or policy within that general area.
For example, school busing, a constitutional amendment banning flag burning or Proposition 209.

Essentially, every paper should make an argument explaining why you think the policy proposal you have chosen failed or succeeded in being adopted by our political system.
Some discussion of the actual merits of the proposal is unavoidable, but the paper should concentrate on the policy process and not the policy itself.
For example, a discussion of Proposition 209 would not dwell on the merits or problems of the proposed legislation, but on the political struggle surrounding the proposal.
Your explanation for the success or failure of the adoption of the proposal in question is the central argument of the paper and should be reflected in your introductory thesis.
Where topics involve court cases it is not enough to simply record and analyze the judges’ decisions. You must also discuss such issues as who brought the case to court, their political motives, how did they frame their legal challenge and so on.
Your paper will also be evaluated on the basis of the criteria described in the assignment rubric below.
It must have a clear, identifiable thesis statement stated at the start of the paper and offer strong supporting evidence.
It must also have organizational clarity so that the thoughts presented flow in a clear, orderly manner.
The material presented should be relevant to the course, to the topic of the paper and to the point you are trying to make.
Papers often suffer by losing focus.
The style of presentation, including neatness, correct grammar, good spelling, etc., is an important component of the papers grade as well.
Guidelines
Papers should be typed, double-spaced with one inch margins and 8-10 pages in length.
Sources must be cited. Failure to provide citations will result in a substantial penalty.
The source of any quotation, fact or idea that you include in your paper must be cited using the Chicago-Style Author-Date format.

This link Chicago-Style Citation Quick Guide (chicagomanualofstyle.org) will take you to the Chicago-Style Citation Quick Guide.
The full guide is also available on the Library web site (http://csus.libguides.com/chicagostyle).

There must be no less than eight sources.
For every Internet only source cited there must be at least one non-internet only source.
An Internet only source is defined as a source that can not be obtained anywhere, but on-line.
For example, citing an on-line New York Times article would not count as an Internet only source since such an article could be obtained without accessing the Internet.
Texts for the course are acceptable sources.
In addition, a copy of any material cited must be turned in along with the paper.
Failure to submit copies of cited material will lead to a deduction from the papers grade.
