SOURCE #1: With reference to its origin, purpose, and content, discuss the values and limitations of the following source for historians studying the 2016 presidential election in 2026.Transcript taken from the Second Presidential Debate of the 2016 presidential campaign between Donald Trump and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, October 9, 2016 in St. Louis, Missouri. The debate lasted 90 minutes; this is an approximately 30 second segment of the debate.CLINTON: ... because everything he just said is absolutely false, but I’m not surprised.TRUMP: Oh, really?CLINTON: In the first debate...(LAUGHTER)RADDATZ: And really, the audience needs to calm down here.CLINTON: ... I told people that it would be impossible to be fact-checking Donald all the time. I’d never get to talk about anything I want to do and how we’re going to really make lives better for people.So, once again, go to . We have literally Trump — you can fact check him in real time. Last time at the first debate, we had millions of people fact checking, so I expect we’ll have millions more fact checking, because, you know, it is — it’s just awfully good that someone with the temperament of Donald Trump is not in charge of the law in our country.TRUMP: Because you’d be in jail.Origin (where is this from – who created it, where was it created, when – basically, restate the sentence with background info in your own words): The origin is ______________________Purpose (why was this created – for whom, what was the point/objective of creating it – in this case, the debate; if it is not 100% clear from the introductory statement what the purpose is you could say “The likely purpose is…”, “The purpose possibly is….) The purpose __________________________Content (what is discussed in the source, what information does the source cover, what is the focus of the source)The content ____________________________.Values (discuss values for 2 of the 3 aspects above)Do NOT say ‘primary source’ is a value or limitationValues must be why the origin, purpose, or content are valuable to historians studying the 2016 election in 2026.All sources about the 2016 election will have some value to historians studying the topic.The value of a source flows naturally from the origins, purpose and content. For instance, imagine we are historians studying Japanese militarism in the 1920s. There is a book called Japanese Militarism in the Late 1920s that was written by an army official who served during that period. The value will be that the writer probably witnessed or participated in certain events, perhaps supporting or resisting various military factions working to control the government. This individual might have even met and spoken with other participants, including those made important decisions. This would give the author first-hand knowledge regarding the establishment of a military-dominated government.If the Author wrote the book 70 years later, rather than the 1920s, it could be that this individual has access to records from that period. This would mean that the author might have less emotional and more objective view of Japanese politics, economic crisis and foreign policy, and therefore is better able to determine the long-term effect of decisions and actions of the period.Value 1: A value to the (O/P/C) for historians studying the 2016 presidential election is ___________________.This is a value because ________________________________Value 2: A value to the __________for historians studying the 2016 presidential election is ___________________.This is a value because ________________________________Limitations (discuss values for 2 of the 3 OPC aspects above; need to hit OPC at least once in either values or limitations)Do NOT say ‘primary source’ is a value or limitationLimitations must be why the origin, purpose, or content are valuable to historians studying the 2016 election in 2026.All sources about the 2016 election will have some limitations to historians studying the topic.The limitation of a source is determined in much the same way that you determined the source’s value. If the writer of Japanese Militarism in the Late 1920s is Japanese, the writer is likely to have more access to Japanese sources than a non-Japanese historian because of the language and cultural understanding. Likewise, a Japanese historian is unlikely to have easy or any access to Chinese or other archives. This means that a Japanese historian’s views might be limited or unbalanced as a result of this lack of access. Therefore, you can use the word ‘possibly’ in trying to determine the limitation of a source, unless the source gives you other information to clarify your theory.There are other ways to determine possibly limitations of a source:The title of the source may be of a limited nature or too broad for the topic.The date of the publication, if given, may be limiting if it is too close to or far from the historical events.A source that is political in nature may be trying to advocate a certain view or policy instead of being objectiveThe content of the source may clearly indicate bias, such as advocating a specific view while possibly attacking another potential view of the historical event or individualLimitation 1: A limitation to the (O/P/C) for historians studying the 2016 presidential election is ___________________.This is a limitation because ________________________________Limitation 2: A limitation to the ______for historians studying the 2016 presidential election is ___________________.This is a limitation because ________________________________SOURCE #2: The below article is taken from the British newspaper The Guardian. It was written within one day of the debate that took place on October 9, 2016 between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Donald Trump threatens to jail Hillary Clinton in second presidential debateEmbattled candidate goes on offensive with personal attacks but Democratic rival accuses him of diverting attention from lewd tape as Republicans desert himDan Roberts,?Ben Jacobs?and?Sabrina Siddiqui?in St LouisMonday 10 October 2016?11.57?EDTA cornered?Donald Trump?prowled the presidential debate stage on Sunday, threatening to jail an opponent he called “the devil” in a last-ditch bid to staunch his hemorrhaging campaign hopes.Swaying malevolently behind?Hillary Clinton?as she parried attacks on everything from her husband’s sex life to Wall Street and her foreign policy judgment, the Republican dominated the night but made little effort to seduce new voters.Instead, he began the night by assembling a group of women in a press conference to revisit alleged sexual assaults by Bill Clinton, before confronting his opponent hardest on her private email server.“OK Donald, I know you are into big diversion tonight,” shot back Clinton. “Anything to get away from your campaign and how?Republicans?are deserting you.“Everything you have heard from Donald just now is not true. I am sorry to keep saying this but he lives in an alternative reality,” she added.The Democratic frontrunner fired off occasional attacks of her own, accusing Trump of being in the pocket of Vladimir Putin, but looked rattled by the brutal onslaught over her record in office.Trump, embracing the spirit of the “lock her up” mob chants at his rallies, threatened: “If I win I am going to instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation – there has never been so many lies and so much deception,” he threatened.Clinton said it was “awfully good” that someone with the temperament of Trump was not in charge of the law in the country, provoking another Trump jab: “Because you’d be in jail.”Origin (where is this from – who created it, where was it created, when – basically, restate the introductory sentence in your own words): Purpose (why was this created – for whom, what was the point/objective of creating it – in this case, the debate; if it is not 100% clear from the introductory statement what the purpose is you could say “The likely purpose is…”, “The purpose possibly is….)
