For more information on writing essays see pages xix-xxviii and pages 16-17 in your AMSCO book. Your answer should include the following parts:

A thesis statement: a full sentence that clearly states your main argument and directly responds to the essay question.
Topic sentences: a full sentence for each body paragraph that clearly states the argument for that paragraph.
Supporting evidence: three to six phrases or facts that support the topic sentence of each body paragraph. (These would be bold face words in a regular history book. People, events, places, etc.)

For this exercise, no conclusion is necessary. I am not giving you a number of words or specific length. However, I expect the question to be answered as completely as possible. This is practice for the real thing so make the most of it!!

By the time of the Revolution, distinctly American ideas about what a government should do for its people led to an experiment in democracy. This would leave one to believe that those early forms of self-government were also democratic in nature. To what extent do you see evidence of democracy in the colonies? Focus your attention on the following colonies:

Plymouth

Massachusetts

Virginia
