We can work on Northwestern Michigan College Comparative Politics Memorandum – Assignment Help

I’m trying to learn for my Political Science class and I’m stuck. Can you help?

Write a memo about this prompt:

“Do you think that it is possible for political scientists to accurately predict what the effects of constitutional reforms will be for specific countries? Or are the effects of constitutional systems so contingent on other social, political, and economic factors, such that we cannot draw firm inferences? “

based on those readings :

Lijphart, Arend. 2012. Patterns of Democracy: Government Forms and Performance in Thirty-Six Countries (New Haven: Yale UP). Chapters 7, 8 and 10 (the chapters cover executive-legislative relations, electoral systems, and federalism respectively)
Tsebelis, George. 1995. “Decision Making in Political Systems: Veto Players in Presidentialism, Parliamentarism, Multicameralism, and Multipartism.” British Journal of Political Science 25(3): 289–325.
Persson, Torsten, and Guido Tabellini. 2005. The Economic Effects of Constitutions. MIT Press, 2005. Chapters 1 and 9. Skim the empirical chapters. o Online copy available here:https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Torsten_Perss…The_Economic_Effects_of_Constitutions_What_Do_the_Data_Say/links/542a 7d720cf29bbc1267a0df.pdf

the goal of the memos is to practice the skill of identifying the key issues and debates within a specific literature, describing the positions of scholars within those literatures, and commenting critically on those positions and the state of the debate. A high-quality memo should not simply summarize the readings, but rather offer a critical discussion of the underlying issues they address.

The memo should engage with as many of the readings as you feel are appropriate to sufficiently develop your argument(s). It is not necessary to cite every single reading. However, as many of the readings are in conversation with each other, it is generally a good idea to make sure you are engaging with pieces that present alternative perspectives on the topic.

Memos should be double-spaced in 12-point font and should be around 1000 words.
