Abstract
This paper shows how the shape of the American government as embodied in the U.S. Constitution was influenced by such factors as the colonial experience, the revolt against British rule, and the failure of the earlier Articles of Confederation. The paper also discusses how the ideas embodied in the Constitution had been taking shape for some time before any of these elements had come into being, changing the way many in the colonies thought about government in the late eighteenth century. It shows how the ideas expressed in the Constitution derived from European theorists such as John Locke, Thomas Hobbes, David Hume, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, though the manner in which these ideas were adopted by the colonists was influenced by the various elements of the colonial experience.
From the Paper
"The Declaration of Independence was adopted in 1776 as a statement of the Second Continental Congress of the independence of the American colonies from British rule. Thomas Jefferson wrote the first draft, and ideas were then incorporated from John Adams and Benjamin Franklin. The document was adopted on July 4 and led to the success of the American Revolution. The document produced at the request of the Second Continental Congress expressed a number of political ideas than current in the colonies, ideas which had been expressed by others in a different form and which were now brought together by Jefferson in a final statement of independence from England."

Abstract
The paper first defines inspiration and inerrancy and how they relate together, then gives a brief history of what the church and church fathers believed about the inspiration/ inerrancy of the Bible. Next, it presents several examples from the Bible on how it attests to its own inspiration/ inerrancy and gives some practical ways that belief in the inspired/ inerrant Word of God affects our daily lives. The paper argues that attacks on the Bible by some in the Christian community will certainly continue, only to get worse. It argues that because we live in a postmodern society where truth is said to be found within ourselves, people will no longer see a need for the Bible. The paper is written from a pro-Christian perspective.

The Theology of Inspiration/Inerrancy
The Practicality of Inspiration/Inerrancy
A. Practicality In Our Personal Life
B. Practicality In Our Church Life
Conclusion
Bibliography
From the Paper
"The practicality of the inspiration/ inerrancy of scripture means that the Bible is absolutely trustworthy and is applicable for our lives today. In other words, if it is indeed true that the Bible is inspired and inerrant, which it is, then it has the right or authority to tell us what to do. Millard Erickson says it this way, "By authority we mean the right to command belief and/or action." As Christians, God is the authority in all matters of life because of who He is. He is the One from whom absolute truth comes from because He is truth. We live in a postmodern society that cries out the message that truth is found within oneself and as a result, many people wander around without any purpose in their lives. God's word is true and it reveals truth in matters of our personal lives and the church's life."

Outline
Introduction
Prophetic Inspiration
Are All Prophets Inspired?
Conclusion
From the Paper
"It is important to keep in mind that prophets are people and that they can misinterpret God?s words or operate out of their own desires. Although there were many prophets that were inspired by God throughout the Bible, there were also false prophets and prophets that were not always inspired by God. A book entitled, The Prophets: Their Personalities and Teachings explains that the false prophets were actually nothing more than soothsayers, traveling the country in groups and were paid to make predictions. The bible refers to these soothsayers as the prophets of Baal. Throughout the bible, there are some distinguishing characteristics of false prophets and real prophets. For instance, the book reports that the false prophets traveled in groups or gangs. (Cohon) On the other hand, the true prophets ?Stood alone?. "

Shakespeare?s Source of Inspiration, 2003.

Abstract
One of Shakespeare's greatest sources of inspiration was Roman writer, Ovid. This paper looks at how and why Ovid's "Metamorphoses" was such an influential text to Shakespeare. The paper focuses on "A Midsummer Night's Dream", in particular the play within a play, Shakespeare's adaptation of the ?Pyramus and Thisbe? story in the fifth act. Other Shakespearean plays influenced by Ovid's works are also discussed.
From the Paper
"Other characters in this play drawn from Ovid are the fairy king and queen, Oberon and Titania. There are no fairies in the Metamorphoses, but Oberon and Titania do act similarly to the gods of the poem. They control weather and people?s emotions, and they help their favored mortals, as Oberon accuses Titania of, with her alliance to Theseus: ?Didst thou not lead him through the glimmering night/ From Perigenia, whom he ravished?/And make him with fair Aegle break his faith,/ With Ariadne, and Antiopa? (2.1.77-80). This line also demonstrates that Theseus is involved in a rape, much like many of the Gods in the Metamorphoses. Also, the way Oberon and Titania argue and take revenge on each other is also reminiscent of the gods of the Metamorphoses."

Abstract
This paper focuses on the similarities between Geoffrey Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales" and later works by other authors. It traces the influence of Chaucer's work down through the years and focuses on works including Edmund Spencer's "The Faerie Queene", William Shakespeare's "The Tempest", the folk tales of Brer Rabbit and Brer Fox and contemporary films such as "Shrek." The paper analyzes the language used in each of these works and compares it to Chaucer's works.
From the Paper
"It is a well known fact that writers receive inspiration from works that they have read or encountered. As the old adage goes, there is nothing new under the sun and for every piece of fiction there is a creative source. Chaucer's lengthy Canterbury Tales is no exception. It is well known that Chaucer drew on the works of Boccaccio and Petrarch for many of the tales in the work so it comes as no surprise to find traces of the Canterbury Tales in many works that have followed its publication. From Spencer's Faerie Queene to modern films like Shrek (Adamson 2001) traces of Chaucer's monumental work run throughout English literature and film."

Abstract
This paper discusses the effects of Poe's ground-breaking literary style on modern pop culture. Comparisons are made to several artists, musicians and composers, directors, and authors, such as Manet, Kupka, Munch, Jim Morrison, Claude Debussy, The Alan Parsons Project, Alfred Hitchcock, Tim Burton, Stephen King, Ray Bradbury, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and Franz Kafka, to name a few.
From the Paper
""Edgar Allan Poe never produced any biological offspring during his lifetime, but clearly his literary children are everywhere" (Magistrale 9). Poe's impressive avant-garde style provides inspiration for many people to fabricate captivating pieces. Because he writes an excess of 120 poems, sonnets, and stories in his lifetime, Poe remains a prominent figure in society. A tremendous appreciation for Poe's work motivates his so-called "children" to sample his style in a vast number of their own ways. Therefore, the great influence Edgar Allan Poe's writings have on modern culture is evident in many areas including art, music, and literature."

Abstract
This paper examines how, from the beginning of the Church, the Scripture was believed to be inspired and inerrant, with a few minor exceptions and how it was only until the last few hundred years has "The Bible" come under scrutiny, and had its trustworthiness disputed. It provides a brief history of what the Church and Church fathers believed about the inspiration/ inerrancy of "The Bible" and gives several examples of how "The Bible" attests to its own inspiration and inerrancy.
Outline
Introduction
The Various Views of Inspiration/ Inerrancy
The Etymology of Inspiration/ Inerrancy
The History of Inspiration/ Inerrancy
The Theology of Inspiration/ Inerrancy
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The doctrine of inspiration/ inerrancy is taught in the Bible. Dr. Towns wrote, "The content of the Bible teaches that it was given by the process of inspiration from God, so that the words were God's words and that they are accurate and reliable, hence they are authoritative." We have already stated that Paul said in 2 Timothy 3:16, "All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for correction and for training in righteousness." Peter wrote in Second Peter 1:21, "for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God." When we take these two verses and combine them with verses in Numbers 23:19, 1Samuel 15:29, Titus 1:2 and Hebrews 6:18 (these verses all teach that God cannot lie) we can come to the conclusion that there are no errors in Scripture."

Constitutional Monarchy, 2005.
An explanation of why the Constitutional Monarchy is the best form of government.

Abstract
This paper attempts to prove why the Constitutional Monarchy is the best form of government. It shows how it protects the well-being of the population through its written constitution and how it adapts to the ever-changing society through its democratic system of the people having the power. It also demonstrates how it gives the people a reason to follow the government's decisions through the presence of a monarchy that inspires a sense of community and nationalism.
From the Paper
"One of the major causes for the dissolving of governments is an inability to adapt to the changes and advancements in the world around them. For example, with constant advancements in science causing a decline in religious followers, there is no way a Theocracy could survive. Plato proposed a government that was ruled by the intelligent and although this may seem flawless in theory, the reality is with an ever-changing world around them it could never work. Therefore a good government must be able to meet these changes and advancements, and work with them. A constitutional monarchy does this through following the utilitarian 'greatest good for the greatest number' (Kay 1997) ways of its democratic system. "

Methods of Inspiring Students, 2000.
A comparison of teaching theories in "Teacher" by Sylvia Ashton-Warner, "36 Children" by Herbert Kohl and "Living Between the Lines" by Lucy Calkins and Shelley Harwayne.

From the Paper
"A similar thread of love and respect for the students runs through all three books under discussion. In Sylvia Ashton-Warner's Teacher, her concept of "organic learning" tapped into the innermost being of each child in order to initiate them into the world of reading and writing. Instead of imposing texts containing experiences of middle-class white people on the Maori students, she made use of the texts created by the Maori children to teach them. Herbert Kohl's 36 children depicts the triumph of a teacher who succeeded in motivating children in ghetto schools to learn. By encouraging them in the development of their individual interests and incorporating them within the classroom setting, Kohl created a sanctuary for these students away from their chaotic existences and a school system that has failed them. Living between the lines, by Lucy McCormick..."

Abstract
This paper details the life of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, born in 1869 in Porbandar, India. It looks at how Mahatma Gandhi is known as one of strongest symbols of non-violence in the 20th Century due to his activist role and religious leadership. It examines how he greatly influenced the world in many ways by practicing and teaching throughout his life. Gandhi was a thinker, a philosopher, a wise statesman and a man of action and his teachings remain relevant to a new generation that has been typically been driven to cynicism and despair by the chaos and dishonesty of the politics of our times.
From the Paper
"Gandhi was inspired by his religious mother. She belonged to a branch of Hinduism that taught non-violence and tolerance between religious groups was very important. Gandhi spent his life searching for truth and harmony with nature. He believed truth could be known only through tolerance and concern for others and that finding a truthful way to solutions required constant testing. He even titled his autobiography My Experiments with Truth. Gandhi overcame fear and taught others to master fear. His belief in nonviolence guided his teachings that to be truly nonviolent required courage. He lived a simple life and thought it was wrong to kill animals for food or for clothing. ?Gandhi found materialism to be the main characteristic of modern civilization, in which spirituality seemed to be undervalued? (Ishii, 2001)."

Rousseau and the ?Federalist Papers?, 2002.
A paper which shows how Jean Jacques Rousseau's ideas influenced the writing of the US Constitution and how the "Federalist Papers".
1,660 words (approx. 6.6 pages), 3 sources, MLA, £ 37.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how Jean-Jacques Rousseau is one of the European theorists who has been cited as an inspiration for the Founding Fathers as they wrote the U.S. Constitution and created the American form of government. The paper shows that in some ways, however, they were using what Rousseau wrote as a beginning point and then finding a governmental form to refute some of Rousseau's concerns for what representative government might become if not controlled. The paper describes how the authors of "The Federalist Papers" ( Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay) answered certain of these concerns, especially regarding concerns about factions and the effect of differences of opinion on the sovereign.
From the Paper
"The Constitution that was ratified in 1787 promoted the ideal of equality, but in fact its provisions were not at first applied equally to all the people. Women could not vote, for instance, and being unable to vote means being less than a full citizen. The nation still had slaves, and they were counted as three-fifths of a person in the Constitution. More fundamentally, the Constitution was designed by and for the interests of property owners more than other citizens, and they were given more rights because they owned property. "
