11. The most important source of the Supreme Court’s caseload is
ReplyDeleteThe correct answer is B) its appellate jurisdiction. Since the Supreme Court is the highest federal court of the United States, appellate jurisdiction allows a higher court to review and change outcomes of the decisions released by lower courts, which is the main source of the work the Supreme Court does regarding cases. The appellate jurisdiction of the Supreme Court is also written in Article III, Section 2 which states “In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make”.

ReplyDelete1. Which of the following is an example of checks and balances: D) The requirement that president appointments to the supreme court be approved by senate. This is an example of checks and balances because it prevents the president from appointing people he wants leading to a dictatorship and checks his power. The senates approval gives a balance of power between two legal bodies.

(B) governments communicate with each other
(C) public attitude towards government are measured and recorded
(D) political values are passed to the next generation
(E) children are trained for successful occupations
The answer is D (political values are passed to the next generation) because socialization is obtaining political values and opinions through exposure to the people's opinions around you and this explains why most people have political values similar to that of their parents.

C) Closed primary

5.the primary function of Political action committees(PAC's) is to:
ReplyDeleteThe coreect answer is E) raise campaign funds to support favored candidates
Answers B,C,D don't have anything to do with giving money and therefore cannot be the answers.
We know the function of PACS are to give money to candidates of their liking.
Therefore answer choice A is also wrong because PACS don't give money to every challenger running in the election.

18. Which of the following generalizations about group voting tendencies is true?
ReplyDeleteA. Jewish voters tend to vote Republican
B. Protestant voters tend to be more liberal than Roman Catholics on economic issues
C. More women than men identify themselves as republicans
D. Rural voters are more likely to support Democratic candidates than are urban voters
E. African american democrats tend to support the more liberal candidates within their party.
E is true because all the others are basically opposites of what is true, and E is accurate because liberal democrats tend to be more concerned with social equality and with getting rid of discrimination between races and such, therefore benefitting African Americans. Hence they would prefer more liberal Democrats who support things such as Affirmative action.

ReplyDeleteC. Indicated that a strong, constitutionally, designed national government was needed to protect property and maintain order.
Shays’s Rebellion was a rebellion among farmers in Massachusetts that began in 1786. Grievances and protests, rising from economic chaos, were voiced by the poor farmers in Massachusetts. Their protests were largely ignored. Shays's rebellion showed clearly the weakness of the Articles of Confederation, leading to Convention to rewrite the Articles.

14. Which of the following did the most to expand civil rights in the 1950's?
ReplyDeleteE. The Supreme Court decision declaring state-mandated school segregation to be unconstitutional
Since Plessy V Ferguson, blacks were considered "separate but equal" because it was believed they were getting equal treatment and privileges with the separation. However, with the court case Brown V Board of Education, segregated schools was ruled to be unconstitutional with the 14th Amendment, thus it was large step toward equality for the African Americans. The court case reversed "separate but equal" and initiated desegregation in public accomodations.

ReplyDelete(B) The House votes for impeachment, and the Senate conducts a trial and reaches a guilty verdict
The definition of Impeachment in the textbook is the political equivalent of an indictment in criminal law, prescribed by the Constitution.

ReplyDeleteCabinet members often do not have dominant influence on presidential decision making because
ReplyDeleteA) cabinet members generally maintain close independent ties to congress.
B) cabinet members generally view their postion only as a stepping stone to further their own political ambitions
C) cabinet members are not permitted to disagree publicly with the president.
D) presidential goals often conflict with the institutional goals of individual cabinet level agencies
E) only half of all cabinet members can be memebees of the presidential party
The correct answer is D
Because cabinet members are not like the independent regulatory agencies. Their decisions rarely matter and they mostly are in conflict with the presidents view due to the fact that the senate basically elects the secretary that directs the institution . If the senate does not like the person the president will not nominate him knowing he will not be accepted.

The Framers of the Constitution certainly wanted Supreme Court Justices to be independent and make decisions not based on political influence but based on what would be best for the country, therefore granting them a lifetime position during good behavior and salaries that could not be diminished for the duration of their incumbency to eliminate political influence.

Presidential nominees assess their needs differently and elect to send different signals through their choice.

13. Presidents have had the most success in changing the direction of decisions of the federal judiciary by...
D. Using the appointment process to select judges with judicial philosophies similar to those of the President.
The reason D is the answer is because in the Constitution it states that the President nominates those for the Supreme Court or judicial positions (though they don't usually pay much attention to any besides SC), and then Congress confirms those nominations. Since political parties were implemented, the President in office has always tended to nominate someone pertaining to their party or ideology because they want their support. The President wants someone who will agree with their opinions and not vote against them in a session.
Natalie Dye Period 5
ReplyDelete53. Which of the following is an accurate statement about committees in Congress?
D. Standing committees oversee the bureaucracy's implementation of legislation.
The reason D is the answer is because standing committees are committees that are always in Congress, so they are able to oversee their departments because they are constantly supervised. Also, A, B, and E are obviously wrong, because committees do more than just submit bills to their House, Congress members can be on more than one committee, and Committee recommendations can throw a bill out before it takes the floor.
58. A fundamental power of the federal bureaucracy lies in
ReplyDeleteE. The ability to set specific guidelines after receiving a mandate from congress
This is clearly the correct anwser choice as without this power, congress would have complete controll over the federal bureacracy. This allows for bureaucratic discretion and limits the ability of cogress to controll the bureaucracy, and in turn the processes it controlls. This also follows along the democratic idea of checks and balances, wheren the power of one part of the government is limited by the powers of another.
37) Interest groups and political parties both promote United States democracy by
ReplyDeleteC.linking citizens to the political process
The reason the answer is C is because Parties can promote democratic government and facilitate citizenship by aggregating and articulating the interests of citizens and politicians; by organizing coalitions of smaller interest groups; by assisting in coordinating elections; by coordinating the legislative process; and finally, by facilitating collective political action.
47) Critical elections in the United States typically have occurred?
ReplyDeleteE. When groups of voters have changed their traditional patterns of party loyalties

3) A primary election in which voters are required to identify a party preference before the election and are not allowed to split their ticket is called

A runoff party “C” is a provided nomination by majority rather than by plurality. Lastly a presidential preference primary “E” is when voters indicate preferences for nominees for president.

FRQ #3 Is Congress effective in exercising legislative oversight of the federal bureaucracy? Support using two methods
yes/no (opinion based) The two methods could be the president and the judiciary. These would be examples because the President has veto power over other institutions as he/she has the power of the executive branch of the government. Additionally, the judiciary would work as an answer because the supreme court (which holds judiciary power) can deem bills and laws suggested by the legislative as against the constitution, thereby exercising oversight on the legislature as a whole.

Indentify and explain two ways in which the media have contributed to candidate-centered presidential campaigns. Identify and explain two ways in which presidential candidates use of the media has contributed to candidate centered campaign.
answer:The two ways the media has contributed to candidate centered campaigns is (a)minimizing the plolitical party (b) focusing more on the candidates background by taking the attention off of the policies the candidate will try to implement and only focusing on their personality or personal history can either make them seem extremely relatable or very hated by the public. The two ways the presidential candidate can use the media for a more candidate centered campaign is (a) engaging in positive activities for news coverage. Which can happen by the candidate doing a homeless food drive and just by "luck" the news comes to arrive and gives off a pleasent appearence to the public.(b) Also by releasing negative information about their opponents especially through commercials and ads. The media has had a very impactful hand in presidential elections but also the candidates seem to use it to their advantage as well.
