Discussion: Political Science Hypothesis Testing
Do you think that Montesquieu might have confused correlation with causation in his original hypothesis?
What else might cause the observed relationship between climate and form of government?
Is it proper to generalize about a country's climate? Many larger countries encompass mountains, deserts, jungles, and grasslands. Most do not have "a" climate, but rather several climates. How might Montesquieu have responded to this?
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
