Dear Sunsail,

Compositions/essays and articles have rules of style and construction applicable to each. That the subject is of a political nature does not really matter.

Aside from the excellent advice and guidance available to you here in the Forums (see tabs above), you can also google "how to write an essay", "how to write a composition" or "how to write an article".
