12 point font, double spaced, 8 full pages MINIMUM. No maximum pages. Write TWO mini-biographies-of European historical figures that lived most of their lives between 1500-1700 (Galileo Galilei) & 1700-1800(Marquis de Lafayette). Need to spend a significant part of the paper (around a third on each figure) discussing why that person is important to the study of European history(i.e. his or her significance). You may include something about what made you want to write about that figure.
