OK I'm going to have to write 1 of 3 in class esays for an ap (college level but in high school) class. I certainly know how to correctly write a thesis statement, but I'm confused about a few parts because this prompt is extensive. "Discuss the development of the U.S. constitution begining with the weaknesses of the articles of confederation, including the constitutional convention (significant debates and compromises made) and concluding with the basic principles found in the document." Now normally I would just address the topic and state the analysis example (not for this topic) "the constitution was necessary becouse the articles of confederation were weak" please help me write a thesis staement for this topic it is difficult because it would be hard to cover all the points that are in the prompt... also I can not restate the prompt in any way. Thanks for your help

'The Constitution of the United States was built upon the ashes of the 1777 Articles of Confederation, and came into being only after being tried in the fire of the Constitutional Convention of 1787.'
You do not need to restate all of the points of the prompt (though I fail to see why the vocabulary cannot be repeated-- in fact, there is no way around it, to my mind). The thesis sentences must merely lead logically into a full coverage of the topic assigned.
