2.Read the UNSCOP report, focusing on Chapter VI (“Plan on Partition with Economic Union”) and Chapter VII (“Federal State Plan”). The full report is available here
3.Read both plans, then choose one aspect of each plan to compare and contrast. (Aspects could include fate of the holy sites, borders, economic arrangements, etc.) Determine the respective framing(s) of each plan as it pertains to this aspect.
