What this checks, and what it can't
Every requirement here is a move you can see: does the sentence take a position, does it answer “to what extent”, does it cite a document, does it explain why an author's purpose matters. Those are checkable, and the same answer always produces the same result — there is no model guessing at quality behind the scenes.
What it cannot check is whether your history is right. A thesis can tick all five boxes and still be indefensible; a sourcing sentence can be well-formed and wrong about the author. That judgment belongs to your teacher, and this tool never pretends otherwise. Treat a full score as “the move is there,” not “this is correct.”
The documents are real, and the excerpts are quoted from the printed record — the Royal Proclamation and the Stamp Act Congress resolutions from Yale's Avalon Project, Soame Jenyns and John Dickinson from scans of the original pamphlets.
