Some questions to think about when composing Paper 1 (not all need to be addressed in the paper):
- From where does/should authority derive?
- Does an American citizen have a relationship with more than one type of authority? What should be done if multiple authorities are contradictory to one another?
- Does he/she deal with different types of authority differently?
- Should an American citizen ever be disobedient to authority? If so, in which circumstances? If not, why not?
- What makes an authority just? What makes an authority unjust?
- By what means should an American citizen exhibit disobedience? Is violence ever permissible when exhibiting disobedience? If so, when? If not, why?
- Do disobedient citizens deserve to be punished? Should they accept punishment?
