12 The Mayflower Compact was important because it helped establish the idea of self-government ordinary people can make their own laws and govern themselves, instead of having a king or other ruler tell them what to do.

17 The Declaration of Independence states that all Americans have certain rights that are unalienable; this means that these rights cannot be taken away, and if any government tries to take these rights away, then the governed are allowed to rebel. American colonies rebelled because of the principal of unalienable rights.
18 12. The U.S. government under the Articles of Confederation had its greatest success in A. foreign affairs B. enforcement of laws C. raising money D. organizing western territories
19 13. The Articles of Confederation called for a weak national government. Most Americans of the early 1780s favored a weak national government because they wanted to protect the rights of the A. national government B. western territories C. states D. military
20 Delegates often disagreed because of differing sectional interests (goals). Delegates from southern states wanted to protect the interests of the South. They wanted laws which would help southern planters and slave owners. Delegates from northern states wanted to protect the interests of the North. They wanted laws which would encourage industry and commerce.
21 14. The authors of the Constitution gave the states the authority to approve this document as the law of the land. The delegates did this because of their belief in the principle A. that powers should be separated B. of checks and balances C. of loyalty to the national government D. that government gets its power from the consent of the governed

They argued that the national government needed much power so it could solve the nation's problems. Other delegates said it would be dangerous to give the national government that much power. This issue was solved by a compromise called federalism.
24 16. The Constitution's system of separation of powers divides power A. between the national and state governments B. between the Democratic and Republican Parties C. between the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives D. among the three branches of the national government

The Constitution gives both houses of Congress a role in removing the President from office. Article 1, Section 2 gives the House of Representatives the power to impeach (accuse) the President. Article 1, Section 3 gives the Senate the power to try (put on trial) the President after he/she has been impeached (accused).
28 18. How may the President check Congress? A. The President can veto Congress's bills. B. The President may declare laws of Congress unconstitutional. C. The President may impeach members of Congress. D. The President can authorize states to make laws.

30 19. Which two parts of the national government have a role in selecting justices of the Supreme Court? A. the judicial branch and the executive branch B. the President and U.S. Senate C. the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives D. the state and federal courts
31 The President and the U.S. Senate both have a role in choosing Supreme Court justices. The President appoints new Supreme Court justices but they must be confirmed (approved) by the Senate. If the Senate rejects the President's choice, he/she must appoint someone else.
32 20. Which is NOT a power of the President? A. the power to execute the law B. the power to make laws C. the power to appoint judges D. the power to negotiate treaties

35 A change to the Constitution is called an amendment. According to the Constitution, an amendment can be proposed (suggested) by a two-thirds vote of the states or by a two-thirds vote of Congress. A proposed amendment takes effect after it has been ratified (approved) by three-fourths of the states.
36 22. People who opposed ratification of the new Constitution were called A. Federalists B. Patriots C. Whigs D. Anti-Federalists
37 People who opposed ratification of the new Constitution were called Anti-Federalists. They thought that the new Constitution gave the national government too much power. Anti-Federalists, like Thomas Jefferson, wanted to keep the Articles of Confederation.
38 23. The "Federalist Papers" were written by all of the following EXCEPT A. Alexander Hamilton B. John Jay C. Thomas Jefferson D. James Madison
39 The "Federalist Papers" were articles which urged people to vote in favor of ratification. Thomas Jefferson would never have written such an article. As leader of the Anti-Federalists, Jefferson was strongly against the new Constitution. He argued that the Constitution gave the national government too much power. He feared that it might try to take away the rights of the states and individual Americans.
40 24. An important Anti-Federalist was A. Alexander Hamilton B. Patrick Henry C. James Madison D. Thomas Jefferson
41 25. Opponents of ratification of the Constitution were called A. Federalists B. Republicans C. Loyalists D. Anti-Federalists
42 26. What was an important reason that the Anti-Federalist did not like the Constitution? A. They wanted more power to go to state governments B. They were afraid individual rights might be trampled on C. It gave too much power to the national government D. All of the above
43 27. Which is the most valid definition of a republican form of government? A. a government made up of members of the Republican Party B. a government which is not democratic C. a government made up of representatives elected by the people D. a direct democracy
44 A republican form of government is one made up of elected representatives. The United States has a republican form of government. The U.S. president and members of Congress are elected by citizens. A monarchy (rule by a king) is NOT an example of a republican form of government because the king is not elected.
45 28. What is meant by judicial review? A. The review of evidence by a grand jury. B. Both prosecuting and defense attorneys may review their case before the jury makes its judgment. C. The Supreme Court reviews all bills before Congress sends them to the President for his signature. D. The power to determine the constitutionality of a law.
46 Judicial review is the power of the Supreme Court to declare the constitutionality of a law if that law is part of a case brought before it. For example, the Missouri Compromise was involved in the case of Dred Scott, a slave. The Missouri Compromise said the northern part of the Louisiana Purchase would be closed to slavery. Scott claimed that since his master took him into this land, he had become a free man. But using its power of judicial review, the Supreme Court declared the Missouri Compromise unconstitutional. The Court ruled that the Constitution did not give Congress the power to halt slavery in any territory.
47 29. The Bill of Rights grants Americans A. the right to vote B. the right of men and women to be treated equally C. the right to a trial by jury D. all of the above
48 The first ten amendments of the Constitution are known as the Bill of Rights. The 6th Amendment gives people accused of crimes the right to a speedy trial by jury. Amendments 4, 5, and 8 also deal with the rights of people who are arrested, tried, or found guilty of crimes. The freedoms of religion, speech, and press are guaranteed by the 1st Amendment. The Bill of Rights does not grant all citizens the right to vote. Amendments granting the right to vote were added to the Constitution during the 1800s and 1900s. As of yet, there are no amendments to the Constitution guaranteeing men and women total equality.
49 30. The Constitution delegates some powers to the national government and reserves other powers to the states. This division of power is called A. concurrent powers B. federalism C. separation of powers D. checks and balances
50 The delegation of some powers to the national government and others to the states is called federalism. Since states, under the Articles of Confederation, were totally sovereign, the new Constitution called on them to delegate (give) some of their powers to the national government. Other powers were reserved to the states. This arrangement was specifically stated in the 10th Amendment which says that "Powers not delegated to the federal government or forbidden to the states are reserved to the states and the people." When the framers divided power in this way, they made the U.S. government a federal government.
51 31. What did the idea of states rights say? A. The power of the national government should be increased B. The separation of power between the three branches was not working C. The power of the state governments was decreasing D. More money should be spent on southern agriculture
52 32. What caused the Nullification Crisis? A. Western expansion B. Slavery C. Tariffs D. Missouri Compromise
53 33. The Doctrine of Nullification stated that A. Individual states could decide how much tariffs to charge B. States had the power to create trade laws C. A state had the power to reject any law made by Congress D. The national government should not have the power to pass laws
54 The Nullification Crisis was the fist major conflict over states rights in the 19 th century. Nullification was an extreme form of states; rights. People who supported it said that it was needed because politicians kept giving more power to the national government, which threatened the freedom and power of the state governments. People who did not like nullification said that the Constitution gave the power to make trade laws to Congress, and the attempt to nullify any law of Congress by a state was unconstitutional and undermined the power of the national government.
55 34. In which case did the Supreme Court assert the power of judicial review? A. "Dartmouth v. Woodward" B. "Fletcher v. Peck" C. "Marbury v. Madison" D. "McCulloch v. Maryland"
56 35. What was judicial review? A. A way that states could challenge the power of the federal government B. Principle by which the federal government expanded its power C. Idea that the Supreme Court could review any act of Congress D. Case that involved the Bank of the U.S.
57 36. What effect did the case of Marbury v Madison have on the American government? A. It increased the power of the federal government B. It increased the power of the Supreme Court C. It increased the power of the states D. It increased the power of the voters
58 In "Marbury v. Madison" (1803), the Supreme Court asserted the power of judicial review. In the ruling, the Court, led by Chief Justice Marshall, declared that a portion of the Judiciary Act of 1789 was unconstitutional. The Court said that a clause in that law, which empowered the Supreme Court to issue a writ of mandamus, violated the Constitution. This decision asserted the Supreme Court's power of judicial review -- the power to review a law and determine whether or not it is constitutional.
59 37. What did the Supreme Court decide in the Case of Dred Scott? A. It determined that Scott should be allowed to go free B. It decided that Scott was not a citizen of the U.S. C. It decided that slavery was illegal north of the Missouri Compromise line D. It determined that slavery should not be allowed in the South
60 38. As an illustration of the division of powers, the Dred Scott case (1857) is considered to be a landmark because A. it was the last major decision written by Justice John Marshall B. it declared that freed slaves were citizens C. it was the first time in over 50 years that the Supreme Court had declared an act of Congress unconstitutional D. it led to the passage of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution the following year
61 As an illustration of the division of powers, the Dred Scott case (1857) is considered to be a landmark because it was the first time in 50 years that the Supreme Court had declared an act of Congress unconstitutional. It was also only the second time in the history of the United States (under the Constitution) that the Supreme Court had declared an act of Congress unconstitutional. Thus, "Dred Scott v. Sandford" (the name of the defendant was John F. A. Sandford) was a landmark case. Not since "Marbury v. Madison" in 1803 had the Supreme Court declared an act of Congress unconstitutional. In the Dred Scott case, the Court ruled that the Missouri Compromise was unconstitutional. The Court declared that the Constitution did not give Congress the power to prevent citizens from taking their property (including slaves) into U.S. territory.
62 39. What event made slavery unconstitutional? A. Emancipation Proclamation B. Civil War C. 13 th Amendment D. Reconstruction

67 44. What did the 13 th, 14 th, and 15 th amendments have in common? A. They were all supposed to solve the problems created by Reconstruction B. They all granted more political rights to former slaves C. They all limited the power of the state governments D. They were intended to correct the injustices created by the system of slavery in the South
68 The 13 th Amendment ended slavery which had been an important part of the southern economy and society. The 14 th Amendment protected the civil rights of all Americans. It said that everyone had the right to equal protection of the laws; this meant that the rights that were protected by the Bill of Rights applied to everyone, including former slaves. The 15 th Amendment guaranteed the right to vote to African American men. Congress wanted to make sure that southern states did not try and prevent former slaves from voting.
69 45. Freedom of speech is protected by which amendment? A. 1 st B. 2 nd C. 3 rd D. 4 th

They were leaders in the anti-slavery movement. C. They were heroines during the Revolutionary War. D. They were leaders in the women's rights movement.
73 These women each provided leadership in the quest for women's equality. Prior to the early 1800s the role of women was relatively well defined. Women had few legal rights, but were recognized as important and responsible members of their households. But law, custom, and social pressure combined to make them second or third-class citizens. The struggle of women to gain equal treatment under the law started in the 1820s. Most of their goals, however, were not reached until the 20th century.
