Fоrensic Cаse Study: Missing Hiker Scenаriо Tаsk: Identify the skeletal elements fоund at the scene Background: In late autumn, a local hiker named Alex Thompson went missing while exploring the rugged trails of Pine Mountain National Park. Search efforts lasted for weeks, but only after heavy snowfall did a team of searchers discover skeletal remains near a cliff base in a remote area of the park. The bones were scattered and partially obscured by snow and debris. Due to the harsh weather conditions, decomposition was advanced, making identification challenging. Objective: Students are tasked with analyzing the skeletal remains found at the scene. Based on the descriptions of the bones and their anatomical features, students must identify the correct skeletal elements that belong to Alex Thompson. Skeletal Elements Description: 1. Element A: A long bone, approximately 35 cm in length, with a slight curve and an expanded proximal end. It exhibits signs of stress fractures, common in individuals who engage in rigorous hiking activities. It lays in very close proximity to the hip bones. 2. Element B: A flat bone with a broad surface and a slightly raised ridge along the center. It shows signs of wear, possibly due to repetitive motion or pressure. It appears as if it has a hyaline rib part attached to it. 3. Element C:  Two small bones from the hand, about 2 cm long, with a slightly curved shape and a rounded end for articulation. 4. Element D: A flat bone that forms part of the side of the skull. It is relatively thin and has a smooth surface, which is characteristic of bones that protect the brain.  5. Element E: Two small bones from the foot, about 2 cm long, with a slightly curved shape and a rounded end for articulation. 

 This will invоlve writing а cоmplete five (5) tо seven (7) pаrаgraph essay that analyzes the culture of the early American republic and the framing of the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. Make sure your essay answers these questions:   1.) What kinds of disputes did the various Founders and Framers have when they began envisioning the Constitution? What did various writers fear?  And what did various writers hope for?   How did this shape what eventually took place?   2.) In what ways were the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights exceptional and new documents? What did they draw from that we read about in class?   3.) In what ways did the new Republic fail to live up to its mission of being exceptionalistic or different?  (hint: Lemuel Haynes, Abigail Adams) In what ways did the new nation fail to live up to nobler and arguably more exceptionalistic notions such as "all men are created equal"? Your essay should have two parts: 1) An introduction that introduces the topic of the Constitution and exceptionalism and includes your main argument. 2) A longer body that discusses specific examples from readings and class. Make sure to show me that you have done the readings. I will not be grading you on grammar and spelling, but your essay should be comprehendible and well argued. It should refer to specifics from the assigned readings, lectures, and activities in this class, and not other sources such as Wikipedia, old textbooks, things you found on Google, etc.    Ideally I would like to see this essay be comprised of somewhere between 470 and 700 words, although a longer essay does not necessarily connote quality. Make sure you are not just populated your essay with filler unrelated to readings and class, but are  using your space and time effectively.
