The topic for this research will revolve around questions such as the legitimacy of Vladimir Putin’s presidential regime. Tie in theoretically the concept of religion in Russia, the importance of religion, and how the religious backing behind Putin’s regime can greatly aid in the domestic legitimization of his regime. Potentially explore further with concepts such as is Putin’s legitimacy, threatened by international organizations and ngos because they can reduce his reputational level (reputational cascades) and incur a lot of audience costs by sanctioning him, or speaking out against him? But at that point what even is legitimacy? how influential does these outside organizations be and how can Russian orthodox church potentially help mitigate the effects caused by these outside organizations? Who is the leviathan of international politics? Of the international world order? Regardless, this research project should show a clear proficiency in political theory and be made with similar professionalism as if it would be submitted to an academic journal, meaning an introduction, thesis statement, literature review, discussion, counter arguments, conclusions, and references.

Most of the authors you have read this semester construct and reconstruct Black political thought from the “bottom up” and within public spaces which are considered uniquely African American (Black) within the environments in which they exist.  These works see Black political thought as primarily developmental, place a very high value on Black oral traditions, tend to concentrate upon Black youth and place a high value on the inclusion of a diversity of Black values, traditions and opinions and voices.
want you to pick any two of the following dreams/concepts (Black liberation and Black reparations) and explain how Kelley constructs and imagines the radical experience of Black people in those areas.
Given the traditions and readings that you have experienced this semester which Black political thought tradition is most promising for the next step of development in Black political thought? Explain why. (you can use any of the required readings to answer this question)

Sure, here’s a sample research paper on the topic of gun control in American Government, following the specified structure:
Gun Control in America: A Controversial Debate
Introduction and Facts
Gun control remains one of the most contentious issues in American politics. The debate centers on the extent to which the government should regulate the sale, possession, and use of firearms. Proponents of stricter gun control argue that it is essential for reducing gun violence and enhancing public safety. Opponents, however, believe that such regulations infringe upon the Second Amendment rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. This paper examines both sides of the gun control debate, analyzing the pros and cons, and providing a critical review of the sources used.
Pros of Gun Control
Advocates for stricter gun control measures argue that such regulations are necessary to curb gun violence and reduce the number of mass shootings. According to an article from Mother Jones, countries with stringent gun laws, such as Australia and the United Kingdom, have significantly lower rates of gun-related deaths compared to the United States . Additionally, research from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicates that states with stronger gun laws have fewer gun deaths per capita . Proponents also point to studies showing that background checks and restrictions on assault weapons can prevent firearms from falling into the hands of criminals and individuals with mental illnesses, thereby reducing the potential for violence .
Cons of Gun Control
Opponents of gun control argue that such measures are unconstitutional and ineffective. The National Review asserts that the Second Amendment explicitly protects an individual’s right to own and bear arms, and that any infringement on this right is a violation of constitutional freedoms . Critics also argue that gun control laws do not deter criminals, who are unlikely to obey such regulations. Instead, they believe that these laws only restrict law-abiding citizens’ ability to protect themselves. Additionally, some studies suggest that areas with strict gun control laws, such as Chicago, continue to experience high rates of gun violence, indicating that other factors, such as socio-economic conditions, play a more significant role in influencing crime rates .
