"M" - Meaning
When you first start writing your paper, you were still just trying to gain mastery of the information, but now you have done enough research to assert some authority, you want to create a new meaning. Again, think of the writing process as a mathematical equation...if each variable is equal to a paragraph, then the sum is equal to your Meaning. So tell the reader what the answer is to your equation, why is everything you just wrote important?
The "Meaning" portion of the conclusion is shown below highlighted in yellow.
In conclusion, history shows that many of the precedence of how our nation and its leaders deal with political, economic, and social issues can be traced back to the first years of Washington’s tenure in office as he endeavored to face the intricate foreign and domestic challenges laid at his feet. In spite of Washington’s unassuming nature, his very modest temperament defined the nature of the executive office impacting the Constitution itself over a century after his death. John Adams’ fiscal policies led to the Federalist and consequently Democratic-Republican’s Parties, contrary to a unified legislative branch, the multi party system created a natural system of checks and balances offsetting a single party system that dictated everything based around their believes, politics, or agendas ignoring the majority rule. Additionally, while the Quasi War with the French and Jay’s Treaty with Britain further divided the two parties, it demonstrated the nation’s diplomatic stance that we would always attempt to secure peace, but never relent in the face of war to secure our protection. It was difficult for the new nation at first and problems that involved conflict, different interpretations of the constitution, and revolution would continue arose. Soon there would be other difficulties that came up, like the Louisiana Purchase, political corruption, war, etc; nevertheless, without the determination that our founding fathers had in the face of adversity our country would not be what it is today.
Notes:
You don't have to give new information to create a new meaning. By demonstrating how your ideas work together, you can create a new picture. Often the sum of the paper is worth more than its parts (but remember the sum doesn't make sense without the parts).
