Find 5 quotes from the readings (use a separate reading for each quote)
we have covered during this time period. Write the quote and give the
source. For each quote, write a substantial paragraph explicating the
significance of the quotation. You may include a definition of the
quote, but you must go beyond this to receive full points (only thorough
and insightful explications will earn full credit). Discuss the
context in which the quote is given, what role the quote played in the
Revolution, how the quote relates to larger ideas or themes, and how it
applies today. Feel free to include ideas from comparable or related
texts or any other examples/information that will help you flesh out the
quote.
