topic : A large portion of the Asian American and Latino populations are non-citizens. Do non-citizen residents impact the political process in the United States?

What is a research design?
Remember:
Political science is a science because we seek to answer questions on how factors impact politics

A good research design will seek to answer the question—and set up research to answer the question.
A good research design has:
1) An introduction.
-An introduction sets up the “problem”
-Argues why the problem is important to study
-DOES NOT make a NORMATIVE argument
-we are independent researchers—“Martin Luther King” problem

2) A literature review (Chaturvedi, 2012)
-pick 3-4 scholarly articles that examine your research problem or related research problems
-summarize them
-why they impact this study

3) Hypotheses
What do you think is reason your problem occurs?
MAKE SURE THESE ARE BASED ON THE LITERATURE

4) Conclusions
