Instructions: Answer the following question in about three or four double-spaced pages. You will need to include at least two or three brief quotes of one or two sentences from the Writings of the philosophers themselves as found in the text. The only citation needed for these quotes should be (Text, p. –). Quotations from outside sources can be used, but need to be fully and formally cited (in any recognized format you choose).

If you prefer, you may write this paper in the “first person.” Question: Compare and contrast the views of John Rawls with those of Robert Nozick. How do the opinions of each thinker compare with what is understood today in the United States as political “Conservatism” and political “liberalism?” To what extent to you agree and/or disagree with the views expressed by each?
