1 American Government 100 Patterson, pgs Woll, pgs , A:AG5-15 Part I True or False Questions Dual Federalism & Laissez-Faire Capitalism ( ) 1. With the passage of the Fourteenth Amendment, at least for the first couple of decades, the Supreme Court came to the defense of blacks who were being abused by "Jim Crow" laws and racist structures. True or False 2. After the Civil War, the Supreme Court embraced a laissez faire philosophy giving nearly free rein to business with its decisions. True or False 3. In 1886 the Supreme Court decided that corporations were "persons" within the meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment; and thus, their property rights were protected from substantial regulation by the states. True or False 4. The Constitution's commerce clause spells out the government's role over economic activities including Congress's participation. True or False 5. President Herbert Hoover used every governmental tool to fight the Great Depression, yet economic recovery failed to materialize. True or False 6. The Constitution does not give Congress or the President the power to determine the number of Supreme Court justices; that is decided at nine by the Constitution. True or False 7. In upholding the 1935 National Labor Relations Act, the Supreme Court endorsed Congress s more expansive power over commerce, arguing that this power was as broad as the needs of the nation require. True or False 8. According to Patterson, the relation of the national government to the states is still accurately described by dual federalism. True or False 9. According to Patterson, the national government now operates in many policy areas that were once exclusively within the control of states and localities. True or False 10. Unlike Roosevelt s New Deal which dealt mainly with the economy, Johnson s Great Society focused more with social welfare issues which have an indirect constitutional basis. True or False 11. In spite of what conservative critics may believe, the Constitution does grant Congress the power to regulate social welfare. True or False 5-1
2 12. Modern systems of transportation, commerce and communication have required the federal government to assume a much larger policy role. True or False 13. State and local governments combined raise twice as much tax revenues as the federal government. True or False 14. The Constitution along with federal laws, prevent states from competing with one another by requiring that corporate, business and personal taxes remain uniform throughout the union. True or False 15. Because most grants require states to contribute matching funds, the federal programs in effect determine how states will allocate some of their own tax dollars. True or False 16. In spite of the fact that many southern states receive a higher percentage of their state revenues from the federal government than other regions, the South as a whole has traditionally provided fewer government services. True or False 17. Categorical grants that are provided by the federal government are much more restrictive than block grants. True or False 18. Members of Congress have typically preferred block grants because it gives them more control over how the money is spent. True or False 19. Devolution rests on the belief, held more strongly by Republicans than Democrats, that the federal authority has extended too far into areas traditionally governed through state and local governments. True or False 20. After the 1960s, Republicans criticized the costs of social welfare for the poor, which meshes with the party s ideology of lower taxes and local control. True or False 21. Ronald Reagan promoted the use of categorical grants as opposed to block grants and removed many restrictions on the activities of federal agencies to increase efficiency. True or False 22. In United States v. Lopez (1995), the Supreme Court agreed with a congressional law that banned hand guns a thousand feet from public schools. True or False 23. In the end, some states refused President Obama s stimulus funds, including Alaska, Mississippi, Louisiana, and South Carolina, believing that this was an over-reach by the federal government.

The second great wave of federal social programs headed by Lyndon Johnson were rejected by 5-2
