How to Cite
When citing an author, just quote the text, footnote it, and reference the author and the title of the piece youre quoting from. For example:
1 Buchanan, Allen Theories of Secession, p.35
If the next citation uses the same source and but a different page, just write ibid. followed by the new page number. So, for example, suppose in footnote 2, you again want to cite something Buchanan said in Theories of Secession but this time, from p. 40. Because in footnote 1 you already cited the author and paper, you can just write:
2 ibid., p.40
If after this you cite a different author, do so in full (as in the example of footnote 1). If after that you once again cite Buchanan, you do so in full.
