ARGUMENTATION AND EVIDENCE
The last section of your memorandum should prove why your proposal will be effective. Ask yourself why the policy you have designed will produce the outcomes that you claim it will have. If your policy responses are relatively limited, you should use this section to justify your choice by using a lot of your available word-count to explain why the decision that you support will have a positive impact on the state—explain, for instance, why ratifying a trade agreement will be good for your state’s exporters and agricultural industry.
What evidence will you use to support this section of your paper?
Do you have enough evidence to support all elements of your paper? (That is, to introduce and define the issue, to show the importance of the issue, to support your position, to refute counter-arguments, et cetera.)
Do you have the range of evidence you need to support different points of your argument? Match evidence and sources to different points of your arguments.
