Mr. Klaff'south meridian 30 multiple choice predictions (old exam) and what the answer normally is ...

1. If you see: House of Burgesses, Mayflower Compact, Zenger Trial...

Answer: "early forms of commonwealth" or early on "republics."

2. If you see: John Marshall ...

Answer: Either he expanded the ability of the federal government, or Judicial Review. Marbury v. Madison = Judicial Review.

iii. Why did Immigrants and African Americans move to cities? That'south where the jobs were!

4. If y'all meet: Nativism = anti-foreign sentiment. The creation of quota systems regarding immigration is important to know. These acts favored western Europeans who spoke English, Non Eastern Europeans. A question on the Chinese Exclusion Act or the Sacco-Vanzetti case could also have nativism as an answer.

5. Federalism = Division of Powers between the Federal Regime and the States!!! See Chart Beneath.

half dozen. Don't confuse federalism with Checks and Balances!!! C and B is checking the three Branches (Legislative, Executive, Judicial) of Authorities! Ex. Veto, judicial review, impeachment. National Gov, checks itself -- has nothing to do with states in terms of the Regents Exam. See Chart Below.

vii. If y'all see: George Washington ...

Answer: is most likely " neutrality /isolationism/noninvolvement"

8. Why did we have a weak Articles of Confederation?

Answer: fright of a strong government, or power to the states was preferred.

ix. If you run into: Domino Theory (for Asia), Truman Doctrine, Marshall Programme, Korean State of war, NATO ...

Respond: CONTAINMENT DURING Cold State of war!

10. WWII = Know the Lend-Lease Deed , plus Cash and Carry. Respond should be: a move away from isolationism -- becoming less neutral. Pearl Harbor and D-Day occasionally come. D-Day will normally have an reply nearly opening up a new front in Europe during the state of war.

11. If you see: Why didn't we ratify the Treaty of Versailles? = Neutrality. We did not desire to join the international League of Nations!

12. If y'all come across: Unwritten Constitution = These are things that we do which aren't printed in the Constitution such equally political parties, cabinet, judicial review, and nominating conventions.

thirteen. We got involved in WWI because of "the Boat, and the Annotation." (Lusitania, and Zimmermann Telegram). The Boat for the Castilian-American War was the Maine.

14. Trust or Monopoly ... makes the rich get richer. The Sherman Anti-Trust Act tried to bosom them! If y'all encounter Unions (or AFL, Sherman Anti-Trust, or Arbitration) ... Answer is something like "to aid the modest guy and consumer out."

15. To repeal an subpoena ... must ratify (approve) another subpoena (similar the 18th and 21st for prohibition.) Speaking of ratifying ... call back Federalist Papers were for ratification of the Constitution.

16. Manifest Destiny = led to the question -- should these states be slave or free??? Manifest Destiny also settles the Frontier ... Know the Homestead Human action, and if yous see Transcontinental Railroad, the answer is commonly about increased trade, and settlement.

16a. Also, know Presidential (lenient) vs. Radical (harsh on Due south/for Black rights) Reconstruction. Sharecropping occurred during Home Rule, as did literacy tests.

17. If you lot see: John Hay -- recollect "Hay look ... it's China!" The answer is always nigh trade in Asia for Open Door Policy. Only open the door and say "Haaaay!"

Annotation: Questions i-iii usually have something to do with geography. Most notably: Mississippi River led to merchandise and navigation, New England had trade, the South was agronomical, and the Smashing Plains were flat. New Orleans was a port for merchandise.

18. If y'all see: How did the US respond to massive immigration? The QUOTA SYSTEM is usually the answer. Specifically, know the National-Origins Act

xviiia. Anti-communism WWI = Red Scare and Palmer Raids ... Anti-communism post-WWII = McCarthyism

nineteen. Did you know that the Supreme Courtroom did not back up FDR? That's commonly a drawing question. He tried to pack the court with allies. Simply he never did it in the end.

twenty. If you see: Jacob Riis, Upton Sinclair, Ida Tarbell = They are writers known as Muckrakers ...the answer should be well-nigh cleaning up and regulating big business to protect the people.

21. If you come across: The Great Society ...The answer should be most the government helping the poor. Similarly, The New Deal of FDR looked to create jobs (public works) and help people socially and economically.

22. Ronald Reagan cut taxes for the rich with "Reaganomics."

23. Lobbying is when special interest groups try to get Congress to vote a certain manner. They hang out in the anteroom and try to convince them.

24. If you meet: Initiative, Referendum, or Think ...The answer will be about expanding democracy during the Progressive Era.

25. If you see: The Neat Compromise or iii/5 Compromise ...the reply should be virtually representation, or the population determining representation in the Business firm.

26. If you run into: Cesar Chavez ...Recollect "Caesar Salad" -- he fought for the rights of farmers. Another name to know is Rachel Carson. Her book Silent Leap helped kickoff the environmental movement. Spring=Nature.

27. If you see: Seneca Falls = It'due south a women's briefing. Women dearest to go to the Falls, it's romantic.

28. Langston H ughes starts with an H. So does H arlem Renaissance. If there's an African American culture move question, Hughes can exist the respond.

29. If you come across: Miranda v. Arizona, Gideon v. Wainwright - These cases expanded the rights to the accused!

30. Not in your textbook if information technology'southward one-time. Subsequently 9/xi, the US created the Department of Homeland Security to protect American citizens. Too, know the Patriot Act.

I know this may audio weird, but I have never seen the same choice 4 times in a row. And then if y'all see 4 C's in a row, double check information technology. Three in a row comes upwardly frequently, but 4 -- not yet. But, they tin can change that, be on your toes.
