Read Chapter 12 in your OpenStax textbook: https://openstax.org/books/american-government-3e/pages/12-introduction
Read the following directions carefully. Most points are lost for not following directions.
Find a current news article (published within one year of today) that is directly related to a specific topic featured in the textbook for this chapter. Include the link to the article at the top of your submission and write at least a 135 word summary of the article. The summary must be 100% in your own words (do not copy and paste or even quote the article). The article should also be related to the United States government or United States politics (not an international story).
After the summary, you must tell me in at least 135 more words how this article is clearly and specifically related to the textbook. Please make this section separate from the summary (a separate paragraph, for example). This section must make it clear to me that you read and understood the material.
In case this isn’t clear, this submission should be at least 270 words total.
You may only use the following sources: apnews.com, reuters.com, npr.org, 19thnews.org, nytimes.com, and washingtonpost.com. The last two sources allow a certain number of article views per month, but the first four give you an unlimited number of views. You may need to create a free account to access some articles.
