Short Assignment 2

Due: Monday, 3/25, before class starts

Format: 2 to 3 pages, double-spaced, one-inch margins, 12 point font.

Submit through Canvas link.

1. Read the readings related to the Baby M case (p. 138 and on in the Week 7 Module). Discuss the different arguments that were made by the Superior and Supreme courts of New Jersey, as well as Anderson’s analysis of the case. In light of Rothbard’s earlier argument about a “baby market,” do you think surrogate motherhood should be treated like a free market based on voluntary consent?

• All papers must have citations that demonstrate you have read the materials for the week and reflected on the materials.

• All citations have a specific page number (for books or articles) or time stamp (for documentaries) cited. The entire page range of the document should not be cited, only the page that has the exact statement/info you are citing. If there are no page numbers, manually count the page in the electronic document.

• In general, no quotations are allowed. The exception is only a quote of a term or phrase that is especially novel or catchy or crucial to analyze (e.g. you are going to followup with an extensive breakdown of the quote). At best you do this only once or twice in a short paper. Everything else should be paraphrased in your own words.

• You cite what you have read using footnotes; see below for how to use footnotes.

• Titles of books, movies, and journals are italicized (e.g. Race: The Power of an Illusion, Autobiography of Malcolm X, New York Times). Titles of chapters, essays, newspaper articles are put in double quotes (e.g. “Essay Title”). If you copy bibliographic info from Canvas, make sure to italicize when necessary.

Note that footnotes do not count toward your page limit. If half your page is footnotes, then you only have half a page of writing, not a full page.

This number is the footnote marker. Note there is another number 1 at the bottom of this page with the citation.

For citations to the texts in the class, use footnotes, which look like this using Chicago style.1 Note the number comes after the period at the end of the sentence. You use footnotes whenever you are citing facts or ideas that are not your own. Typically, hitting CTRL+ALT+F will insert a footnote. Alternatively, go to the tab at the top of Microsoft Word under “References” or under “Insert” in older versions of MS Word. If you are confused about inserting footnotes, try Googling “inserting footnotes Microsoft Word.”

CTRL+ALT+F also works for Google Docs. You can also go to the “Insert” menu then scroll down to “Footnote” to add a footnote.

For Pages, you can consult: https://support.apple.com/guide/pages/footnotes-and-endnotes-tanbb3f4cb/mac

Please make sure the numbering system is in numbers, not Roman numerals (e.g. i, ii, iii…). In Word you expand the Footnotes tab, and then change the number format. For Pages, see the link above.

Note that each time you cite an article, it gets a new number. For example, if you cite Queen v. Dudley twice, the first time the footnote number will be 1. The second time, the footnote number will be 2 (with a new page number), even though you already cited Reich before.

This is the citation information that corresponds with the footnote marker 1.

If you repeat a reference that is the exactly the same as the footnote preceding it, then you can use “Ibid.,” followed by the page number, rather than writing out the author and title and publication information all over again. If you are repeating a reference that isn’t directly preceded by the reference, you can just use the last name of author, shortened title, and page number (no publishing info required; e.g., Queen v. Dudley p. 2).

1 Full Name of Author, Title, Where and When Work is Published, Page number if available. Example: William Domhoff, “The Class-Domination Theory of Power,” p. 7. Available at: http://www2.ucsc.edu/whorulesamerica/power/class_domination.html.
