Paper instructions:
You are evaluating the quality of democracy in Iran, as a percentage, in terms of the how much power elected officials have to actually lead. That takes the general topic of the quality of Iran’s democracy and makes it specific in the sense that your research can focus on things like how much power the legislature has in relation to the President, or to what extent the President’s ability to carry out his mandate is constrained by the military/IMF/American influence, etc.
