Question: What are some civic duties and responsibilities that I have
in this republic? When it
comes to living in a democracy, there are certain civic duties that
one must do by law such as serving on a jury, following state and
federal laws, and paying taxes. Citizens may also act on their civic
responsibilities by voting in elections, getting involved in the
political process, and even holding office.
MAJOR CONCEPTS What were the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation? What were the major Compromises of the Constitution? Why did America want Independence? What did the Declaration of Independence actually say? How do the branches of government check one another? What was Washington’s stance on foreign policy? What happened to Native Americans during westward expansion? What happened during the Gilded Age concerning "Robber Barons" and industrialization? What were some of the cultural innovations of the Roaring 20s? Sports, Music, etc. Why did immigrants move towards cities? How did the cities emerge? How did Populists influence the Progressives? What were the Progressive Reforms? How did American foreign policy change c1898? One answer is this, which resulted in this. All of the Progressive Reformers you need to know. What was the controversy over the Treaty of Versailles Ratification? Rachel Carlson's Silent Spring comes up all the time. It's a book about environmentalism. Why was it called the Roaring 20s? What were the causes of the Great Depression, and the solutions implicated by the New Deal (RRR)? How did we stay neutral before WWII? How was WWII a Glorious War? What were the major clashes of the Cold War? How did different generations of Americans clash during the 60s and 70s? How did segregation come to an end? What impact did the Warren Court have? Know all about the Civil Rights Leaders of all Eras, and the importance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. How has the US been involved in the global economy? Don't get confused: W.E.B. Du Bois wanted absolute equality...Booker T. Washington wanted gradual gains. Remember: W.E.B. = Wants Equality for Blacks...Booker T., for Tuskegee Institute.
Muller v. Oregon = Limits hours women can work. Adkins v. Children's Hospital = refutes Muller decision. Schenck v. US = "Clear and Present Danger" Can't shout "FIRE!!!!" in a crowded theater (limits free speech). Schecter v. US - Declares the NIRA Unconstitutional US v. Butler - Declares AAA Unconstitutional Korematsu v. US = Japanese Internment is Constitutional as Executive Order 9066 states that in times of War, rights can be limited. Plessy v. Ferguson = Justifies Jim Crow laws, and "separate but equal." Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka KS........ Ends segregation in schools.
Sweatt
v.
Painter
1950
- An African American student can be admitted to University of Texas
Law School because another school would be separate and unequal. Hernandez v. Texas 1954 - Mexican-Americans have equal protection under the Fourteenth Amendment. Roe v. Wade = legalizes abortion, but not in all cases. Dennis v. US - Due process limited because of a fear of Communism. Similar to "clear and present danger" mentioned above. Miranda v. Arizona, Gideon v. Wainwright, Mapp v. Ohio = rights of the accused. Regents of the University of California v. Bakke – Race can be considered in the university admissions process, but distinct racial quotas are illegal.

– Publication of the Pentagon Papers was protected by freedom of
the press.
United States
v.
Nixon,

Nixon was not protected by executive privilege, and had to hand
over tape-recordings. Nixon remains the only President to resign
the office. Cases involving a school: Tinker v. Des Moines, New Jersey v. T.L.O., Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier, Engel v. Vitale

COMPROMISES Constitutional = The Great Compromise (Virginia (bicameral on population) vs. NJ Plan (equal representation), 3/5 Compromise, and Commercial Compromise. Political Parties
Recent Presidents:
Presidential Slogans ... TR (Rep) = A Square Deal for Americans! Support consumers over trusts. Woodrow Wilson (Dem) = New Freedom (defeats TR's New Nationalism) and trustbusts with even more tenacity! Warren G. Harding (Rep) = Return to Normalcy post WWII FDR (Dem) = The New Deal - Public Works, and Government Economic influence Truman (Dem) = A Fair Deal - social improvement, and healthcare. Eisenhower (Rep) = Dynamic Conservatism. The 1950s = A conservative time, economically (Gov supports Big Business), politically (McCarthyism), and socially (Women at home, Leave it to Beaver). Eisenhower also signed the Interstate Highway Act to connect the country together with roads. JFK (Dem) = The New Frontier, liberal problem solving for poverty, racial prejudice, and international aid. LBJ (Dem) = The Great Society - Money to the poor, education, and an end to discrimination. Bill Clinton = Know all about NATO troops, and obstruction of justice. If Betty Friedan comes up on the test -- it's 1960s-1970s Feminism. I know this is a random thing, but she often comes up on the test. Rachel Carson's book Silent Spring started the environmental movement. First female Supreme Court Justice ... Sandra Day O'Connor ... First justice of Latin American descent ... Sonia Sotomayor
