For the paper, write a Ten-page Case Analysis paper (approx. 3,000 words) that addresses the following question regarding political speech acts:
Is it morally permissible for political adversaries to use political silencing against each other in the course of campaigning or governing?
Consider the case of the political attacks leveled against Michael Ignatief. In his words, his opponents targeted his standing, a kind of political silencing. In this paper, using the case as your focus, describe what political silencing—an attack on standing—is according to Ignatif, and argue whether it is morally appropriate for political adversaries to use it against each other in the course of campaigning for or governing from elected office.
Begin by explaining political silencing within the Ignatief case, incorporating the readings provided and other readings or cases from the semester that you think shed light on the issue. Clarify the philosophical position Ignatief offers, such that a reader could articulate the position without reading the chapter provided or the accompanying readings.
After completing your analysis, critique Ignatiefâ€
s position and provide your own original argument regarding political silencing, drawing upon any other philosophical frameworks from the class that you find useful in the construction of your argument. You should strive to answer the question provided for political speech broadly, beyond the Ignatief case.
